Nike's running shoes can be described as varied, with trendy and cool exterior color schemes, ranging from a few hundred yuan to more than a thousand. However, the Air Max series, touted by Nike, is not suitable for running, with a heavy body and an air cushion that increases instability, making it more suitable as an everyday casual shoe. Generally speaking, Nike's high-end running shoes have high technology content and are worth recommending, but the workmanship and practicality of the low-end style are average, which is not suitable for heavy users and long-distance running.

Brooks United States

Hoka one one France

In this age of minimalism, Hoka is a maverick brand. Hoka was founded by former Salomon employees and was originally designed for trail running. The seemingly heavy soles are one of Hoka's main features, and they are jokingly referred to as flatform shoes.

Hoka's running shoes are the best for long-distance running, and while they're not suitable for racing, they're really comfortable to run. It is important to note that the stability of the high and thick sole is not very high, and you have to strengthen the stability of your ankles and the flexibility of your body. Starting at 1,000 yuan, the most expensive one can reach 3,000 yuan. ...

Reebok Reebok United Kingdom

Reebok's shoes are generally slender and long, with high uppers, and Asians tend to have wide ankle bones and low ankle bones, so runners with wide feet may not fit well. Reebok's running shoes are modest but have their own characteristics, with soft soles, very comfortable for short runs, full of dynamics, good shock absorption and breathability, but not suitable for long distances, and not enough support. The price is moderate, and you can pick a good style for a few hundred yuan. ...

Under Armour 安德玛 United States

Founded in 1996 in the United States, the brand is now very popular in the sports and fitness market. Footwear is also its fastest-growing product line. Under Armour's running shoes are more of a daily training shoe, which is stable, won't slip, and has a good sole and breathability. The overall upper is light and thin, and the wrapping, arch technology, and abrasion resistance are not as good as those of professional running shoe brands. However, the shock absorption effect is really obvious, and it is easy to run 5 kilometers. Under Armour's running shoes are shiny and cool, but they still need years of accumulation as professional running shoes. The domestic price is high, although it is generally below 1,000 yuan, but the cost performance is average. ...

Duowei has an annual output of 900,000 pairs of professional sports shoes, 70% of which are used for the training and competitions of the national team, provincial and municipal sports teams, colleges and universities and sports enthusiasts, and 30% are sold abroad. Duowei's running shoes are mainly aimed at marathons and long-distance running, with hard soles and not strong protection, which require high muscle strength control for runners. Because of its light weight and affordable price, there is still a certain market. It is not recommended for runners and novices with large weights, and it is acceptable to use on plastic tracks. There are many styles of one or two hundred, and I remind you again, it is suitable for runners who have a certain foundation. ...
