Pricey Running Shoes Not Worth It
WEDNESDAY,giuseppe zanotti outlet, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to picking footwear, runners should follow Prince Charming's lead and consider a shoe's fit, not its price tag, new research suggests.
Using high-tech methods,giuseppe zanotti heels, a team of Scottish scientists found no differences in either comfort or shock absorption between $80 pairs of running shoes and pairs made by the same companies costing more than $150.
"My advice to runners is to make sure that,giuseppe zanotti shoes sale, first,giuseppe zanotti, the footwear fits your feet, and that if you are paying more, that doesn't mean that you're getting something better," said lead researcher Rami Abboud, director of the Institute of Motion Analysis and Research at the University of Dundee.
His team published its findings Oct,giuseppe zanotti sale. 10 in the online edition of the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Over the past few decades,duvetica down jacket, the lowly sneaker has been transformed from a humble canvas-topped loafer to something that,isabel marant buy, according to advertisers,cheap giuseppe zanotti, uses space-age technology to protect and enhance the human foot. Those lofty claims often come with lofty prices,isabel marant shoes, however.
"What we wanted to check was, are you really getting value for money?" Abboud said. "Or are you just paying for advertisement?"
In their study, the Scottish researchers had 43 men, averaging about 29 years of age, try on nine pairs of running shoes -- three models each from three of the world's leading manufacturers. The men were sizes ranging from 8 to 10 (considered average male foot sizes) and had no foot or gait abnormalities.
The retail price of each of the three shoes within each brand spanned in price from $80-$90,giuseppe zanotti sale, $120-$130,discount soccer cleats, and $140-$150, respectively. The men had no way of knowing the brand or cost of the shoes they were testing.
Participants were asked to test out the footwear and give the researchers a subjective assessment of each shoe's comfort. They also ran in the shoes while wearing high-tech sensors that gauged pressures at various points on the foot, including plantar pressure, the force generated by the impact of the sole hitting the ground.
"I believe that sports manufacturers are using similar,giuseppe zanotti sale, if not the same, equipment for measuring pressure inside the shoes,discount Soccer Shoes," Abboud said.
Tabulating the results, the researchers reported no significant differences in comfort between the shoes, regardless of their price.
When it came to shock absorption, some shoes performed better than others on different areas of the foot, but no clear pattern emerged. In fact, plantar pressure was actually lower for the cheap-to-moderately priced footwear compared to more high-end gear, although this difference did not reach statistical significance,giuseppe zanotti pumps, the researchers said.
"The perception is that if you pay more, you might end up having something more protective within the shoes,giuseppe zanotti sandals, but that's something that we just couldn't find," Abboud said. "From what we found, [the difference] seems to be pure advertisement."
