Pricey Running Shoes Not Worth It
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to picking footwear, runners should follow Prince Charming's lead and consider a shoe's fit,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.albirank.net/][b]http://duveticaoutletcanada.albirank.net/[/b][/url], not its price tag, new research suggests.
Using high-tech methods,[url=http://parajumperssalefreeshipping.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers sale free shipping Hampton Roads Technology Council for sale[/b][/url], 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,[url=http://duveticapiumini.olimx.com/][b]Duvetica piumini italy online piumini duvetica outlet duvetica jackets shop[/b][/url], first,[url=http://peutereyjackenherrenoutlet.albirank.net/][b]Peuterey Jacken Herren Outlet Peuterey Jacke Damen Sale Online[/b][/url], 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. 10 in the online edition of the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Over the past few decades,[url=http://woolricharcticparkauomooutlet.olimx.com/][b]Woolrich Arctic Parka Uomo Outlet Woolrich Parka Italy Outlet[/b][/url], the lowly sneaker has been transformed from a humble canvas-topped loafer to something that,[url=http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/][b]sell discount authentic roger vivier shoes for sale[/b][/url], according to advertisers, uses space-age technology to protect and enhance the human foot. Those lofty claims often come with lofty prices, however.
"What we wanted to check was,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.albirank.net/][b]Duvetica Outlet Canada duvetica Down Jackets Mens Sale 2014 Online[/b][/url], 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,[url=http://parajumpersjacketsstores.blogspot.com/][b]parajumpers jackets store[/b][/url], $120-$130,[url=http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/][b]discount roger vivier shoes for sale[/b][/url], 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,[url=http://discountsoccercleatsonline.webmium.com/][b]discount soccer cleats online Footwear Soccer Cleats Soccer Shoes[/b][/url], including plantar pressure, the force generated by the impact of the sole hitting the ground.
"I believe that sports manufacturers are using similar, if not the same,[url=http://monclerwesteherrendaunenjackebillig.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerwesteherrendaunenjackebillig.albirank.net/[/b][/url], equipment for measuring pressure inside the shoes,[url=http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/][b]http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/[/b][/url]," Abboud said.
Tabulating the results, the researchers reported no significant differences in comfort between the shoes,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutlet.olimx.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets Duvetica Online Duvetica Outlet Duvetica Sale Duvetica Vest Duvetica Coat Duvetica Kappa[/b][/url], regardless of their price.
When it came to shock absorption, some shoes performed better than others on different areas of the foot,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutletonline.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti outlet online Sale[/b][/url], 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,[url=http://monclerjackenoutletonlineshop.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerjackenoutletonlineshop.albirank.net/[/b][/url], although this difference did not reach statistical significance, the researchers said.
"The perception is that if you pay more, you might end up having something more protective within the shoes, but that's something that we just couldn't find," Abboud said. "From what we found, [the difference] seems to be pure advertisement."
