Sports shoes recommended "wet foot test method"

Narrow footprints, selected shock absorber function; footprints wide, selected arch pad style, price, brand, type are selected sports shoes influencing factors, but the most critical point is to know what their feet are Kind of. Experts from the Australian Sports Association have recommended a "wet foot test" method by which you can determine your foot shape and know what type of sports shoe you have.

The "wet foot test" is very simple. Wet feet on paper, and then observe the marks you left behind, there are generally three situations:

The first kind: There are few marks left in the middle of the foot, the footprints are very narrow, almost interrupted, and the internal space of the arch is large. Such footprints usually look like your ankles and forefoot are not connected, indicating that the arch is relatively high. This kind of foot shape has no obvious slowing down of impact force. It needs a pair of shoes with enough cushions. It is better to choose some shoes with thicker bottoms, shoes with cushioning and cushioning function, and the soles have better bending to increase the range of the foot's activity. The upper can wrap the entire foot.

The second type: The footprints in the middle of the foot are wide, the footprints are full, and the entire foot prints on the paper. This means that you are flat and you may need a pair of well-supported shoes. This type of foot should be selected with shoes that have a specially reinforced inner arch of the arch. The upper can be taller, and there is usually a plastic piece inside the heel to reduce the varus.

The third type: There is a large arc in the middle of the footprint but it does not break. It looks like a "C". This kind of foot is the most common. When choosing sports shoes, it is necessary to consider both cushioning and supporting forces. Generally, different types of shoes are selected according to sports items.
