Sneak Peek: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 5


Running Shoes gender specific

Do men and women need the same support when it comes to running shoes? The shoe company Mizuno does not think so. They have introduced what they call "engineering gender" in its new line for 2009. According to Rod Foley, who is the Director of Marketing, Mizuno, "We have learned through extensive research that there are fundamental differences between the running styles of men and women. Gender Engineering follows these issues by creating shoes that more closely fit the different styles of functioning of male and female runner, in return maximize performance .

What are the differences that Mizuno have identified?
Men tend to be heavier than women and that their shoes have to be able to bear the additional weight. Each step of a male runner exerts a greater force on your body, and the impact of your foot hits the ground is much more intense. In order to protect feet and knees, Mizuno has designed a man running shoe with a wide and slightly flared sole. This means that more exclusive shoe will distribute the stress incidence in a larger area, which ultimately reduces the pressure on the feet, knees and hips. A wider, single burst also promotes stability, which allows male runners feel safer in their wake.

Women, on the other hand, have a wider pelvis, what makes your ankles to roll inward while running (a process known as pronation). Over pronation - that occurs when the feet roll inward excessively - Can put unhealthy stress on ankles and knees. Running Shoes Mizuno Women take account of this danger, the design of the shoes to reduce the roll the inner ankle. These shoes have a flexible outsole with flex grooves and a rounded heel - all characteristics that result in a soft landing rather controlled.

Some people dispute the usefulness of these gender characteristics, noting that both men and women have a tendency to pronation excessive and that the only burned is nothing special. Perhaps more than the allocation of these characteristics to specific genres would be more useful for assigning the shoes based on performance style or body type. For example, an athletic shoe with a wide and burst only be advertised as an athletic shoe for people over a certain weight. Or a flexible soled running shoes and flex grooves would be listed as a shoe for people who pronate.
