How to choose the right shoes for sports training?

Sergey Aleksutov, a leading orthopedic trauma surgeon and chief podiatrist of the ORTEKA chain of orthopedic salons, explained to readers of the sports portal championat.com why it is important to choose the right footwear for sports training.

In addition to providing obvious benefits, exercise can also cause harm if certain precautions are not taken and the correct equipment is not used. Training technique is very important, but the right sports accessories should not be forgotten either. They help minimize the risk of orthopedic diseases.

The most important thing is to choose footwear responsibly. The health of your entire musculoskeletal system depends on the condition of your feet. Here you can find out more about the dangers of wearing the wrong footwear and the most common mistakes when choosing the right footwear.

Size

Incorrect size is one of the most common mistakes made when choosing workout shoes. Don't choose running shoes expecting them to wear out over time. During exercise, the discomfort in tight shoes increases many times, which can lead to abrasions and blisters, as well as deformation of the nail plate on the feet.

Tight shoes are the cause of onychocryptosis - an ingrown nail that can often only be removed surgically. Regular exercise in tight shoes can also cause the blood vessels in the foot to narrow. This leads to poor blood circulation and, as a result, swelling, numbness and cramps in the feet. Unsuitable footwear increases the risk of heel and Achilles tendon pain.

When choosing a shoe, it's not just the size that you should consider. For example, a hard and tight upper material rubs on the toes and can lead to osteoarthritis (bursitis) in the area of the little or big toe. To avoid such problems, choose sports shoes with a range of no more than 0.5-1 size. Don't leave your feet unsupported.

Test your shoes thoroughly before purchasing and forego comfort in favor of a fashionable design. The sneakers should not constrict your feet or, conversely, not sag. It's best to try on the shoes in the afternoon when your feet are slightly swollen, which is also something you should take into account.

How do you choose the best insole for your running shoes?

• Support: The way your feet interact with the ground affects your entire body. Therefore, it is very important to purchase insoles that provide good high impact support for added comfort and convenience.
• Goal: It is very important that you determine the purpose of your purchase. People with plantar fasciitis or flat feet should use a firm footbed. Athletes who have to walk a lot should use a more padded support.
• Damping: Well-cushioned insoles help absorb shock and reduce impact while running. A padded insert also provides strength and increases comfort.
• Stability: Proper form is very important to keep your feet in the correct position. Look for insoles that are ergonomically designed and have adequate heel support to prevent injuries.
• Material: Runners need support and cushioning in the heel area to avoid injury or pain. Foam insoles cushion the heels, while gel insoles reduce impact and stress.

Therefore, it is advisable to use the best insoles for your running shoes to avoid heel pain. With high-quality, cushioned insoles, you can climb and walk on uneven surfaces with ease. They also support the arch of the foot and improve posture. In addition, these insoles are odorless, non-slip and cushioning. However, some products do not fit all foot types. Therefore, measure your foot size to avoid fit problems. Then check out the buying guide to choose the insole that best suits your feet and shoes.

How to choose insoles

By stimulating specific zones of the foot, muscular imbalances can be eliminated, normalizing movement patterns. Each person has different zones, and even in one person the parameters of the right and left feet can be very different. Therefore, the choice of insoles is an individual matter. No off-the-shelf product from an orthopedic retailer can cause any harm. The specialists at NL-Clinic work with the Formthotics medical system and are convinced that there are no equivalent products in the world whose effectiveness is so well proven.

Formthotics insoles can only be performed by podiatrists, orthopedists or sports doctors who are familiar with applied kinesiology. The podiatrist takes numerous factors into account: anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and sport-specific characteristics. In addition to the usual orthopedic, postural and visual diagnosis, manual muscle testing, respiratory and neurological tests are also carried out.

Properly fitting the orthoses is only part of the challenge. To maximize the effect, NL-Clinic specialists use applied kinesiology.

Kinesiology is the science of movement in all its manifestations: muscle contractions, ligament tension, position of the joint surfaces, movement of the various fluids in the body, distribution of stroke stress, movement of internal organs, cerebrospinal fluid and even nerve impulses. Applied kinesiology is a diagnostic system with its own instruments.

At the NL Clinic, podiatry (treatment of feet and lower limbs), kinesiology, manual therapy and sports medicine go hand in hand. The center's doctors believe that orthotics should be a treatment, not a crutch.

Before selecting the insoles, the patient is thoroughly diagnosed with a podoscope, the foot muscles are examined kinesiologically and, if a functional disorder is detected, an appropriate correction is made immediately. The instability of the attachment points, impacts, bruises, etc. are also controlled. In some cases, special therapeutic exercises are prescribed.

How insoles are made

The insoles are modeled in the shoe with the participation of the athlete.

The insoles are heated to a temperature that does not overheat the foot, but is sufficient to develop the plasticity of the foam. The impression is taken in the neutral position of the foot when the axes are anatomically preserved. The insole achieves 100%ige pressure relief for the foot.

As soon as the insole has cooled down, the support is placed in the anatomically correct position. The cushion that forms the transverse arch of the foot is retracted based on the bony landmarks of the athlete's foot. And if this is not enough to align all body axes, additional increases in the correct areas of the feet can be formed using special correctors.

For maximum effect, separate insoles are made for the athlete's competition shoe. When changing shoes, it is always possible to adapt the old insoles to the new shoe using special correctors. Insoles for everyday use can be transferred to any type of shoe - everything works.

The best models of orthopedic insoles for children

This model has a wide range of sizes, so the product can be used by both adult athletes and children. The only issue that should be considered before purchasing for a child is that it may be too wide for children's shoes, so adjustment may be necessary.

The product supports the inner and outer longitudinal arch and optimizes the alignment of the heel. Use by children reduces the risk of X-shaped feet and poor posture.

Frame insoles are suitable for both valgus and varus foot deformities.

• Suitable for almost all standard shoes;
• Virtually no adjustment time due to the high level of comfort;
• Feet hurt less when wearing;
• Good support for the foot.

Size selection starts at size 12 and the pads can be used for boys and girls. The anatomical pressure relief is weak and provides soft support to the inner and outer arch of the foot. Like the previous model, the Orto Toy also optimizes the alignment of the heel - it rotates outwards by 6 degrees. Wearing shoes with this insole reduces the likelihood of an X-shaped foot and reduces the risk of postural problems.

Summarized.

The advice of sports doctors and orthopedists is essentially similar: do not wait until increased physical stress leads to joint pain. It is better to prevent this with special insoles for training and sports.

When choosing insoles, pay attention to your anatomy and whether your foot has a misalignment. This will help you find the right product that won't take you long to get used to. And the effect will be noticeable.

Choose the right sports equipment and keep your joints healthy.

• Pain and cramps in the feet.

If the deformity of the left and right feet differs and there are anatomical peculiarities of the musculoskeletal system (e.g. (e.g. different leg lengths, pelvic valgus, spinal curvatures, injuries), then the most pronounced therapeutic effect is achieved with individually made orthoses that take all characteristics into account. The Foot diagnosis and orthotic fitting can be performed at one of our orthopedic centers.

principles of self-sufficiency

• Soft insoles relieve the strain on the foot muscles, distribute the load evenly and ensure a comfortable fit in the shoe. These insoles are suitable for the prevention and treatment of the initial stages of longitudinal and transverse flat feet. Suitable for pregnant women, diabetics, at the first signs of thumb abnormalities, for running, jumping, skiing, snowboarding, skating.
• Rigid insoles made of plastic or other polymers. These products provide better cushioning and are more durable than soft insoles. These insoles are indicated for longitudinal flatfoot, transverse flatfoot, combined unfixed flatfoot, arthrosis, suitable for long standing, for an active lifestyle, for sports without running and jumping and for overweight people.

Cushioning insoles

The cushioning helps the runner avoid painful sensations when the foot hits the ground. Jogging puts a lot of strain on your feet. Padded running insoles can help reduce this strain. In this way, the athlete's body weight is evenly distributed over the sole of the foot, the lower leg is not overloaded and the knee joints remain intact.

Practically every professional sports store offers running shoes that are already equipped with special running insoles that have a cushioning function. The specialists who develop the most comfortable shoes for runners take into account all the nuances that are necessary for athletes to stay healthy.

Advantages of cushioning insoles:

These insoles are made of a special foam that allows natural ventilation. The high air permeability prevents the feet from sweating excessively. They ensure a firm connection to the midsole and prevent the foot from slipping in the shoe during intensive training. Padded running insoles do not deform, which increases their lifespan.

This is particularly important for sports shoes. Since excessive sweating occurs during running, the problem of odor arises due to the active proliferation of bacteria in such a favorable environment. An antibacterial layer helps keep feet relatively clean and significantly reduces the risk of skin infections.

Running shoe insoles should not only provide the foot with firm support, but also offer maximum comfort during training. Thanks to the all-round support of the arch of the foot, flat feet are avoided even after the most intensive training. By firmly fixing the foot and cushioning the heel, deformities of the lower limbs can be prevented and existing problems can be alleviated.

orthopedic insoles

Orthopedic running shoe insoles are a personalized approach to foot health. These insoles are the best choice for use during regular, intense sporting activities. You can buy them at any pharmacy or have them custom-made. The second option is preferable. Despite their relatively high cost, these insoles help maximize protection against injuries, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body.

Athletes who already have problems with foot deformities are recommended to use insoles with orthopedic properties. They help not only to prevent further development of the problem, but also to improve the condition. For those who have not yet faced this problem, such orthopedic running insoles can help avoid similar ailments in the future.

Advantages of orthopedic insoles:

Running shoe insoles for flat feet are made of soft material that gently hugs the foot to ensure maximum comfort. Orthoses may include special inserts filled with a gel that spreads evenly and takes the correct shape when worn.

For people diagnosed with flat feet, doctors recommend purchasing shoes with an insole. This part of the insole is designed to effectively support the longitudinal arch of the foot. In the front part only the toes are fixed, while the heel part has a special recess. This ensures the natural correct positioning of the foot.

These elements distribute the weight load evenly over the entire surface of the foot. For example, the location of the wedge in the heel area allows for better support of the foot, which helps reduce swelling and prevent pain.

Why do I need orthopedic insoles?

Custom-made insoles are 'orthotics', special shoe inserts that correct the shape and position of the foot. They have a local effect on specific areas of the foot that are altered by various diseases.

The indications for the use of individual insoles include a wide range of diseases related to the biomechanics of the foot:

• Longitudinal, transverse and combined flat feet;
• heel spur;
• valgus deformity of the big toe;
• Arthrosis;
• Correction of leg length disproportions;
• plantar fasciitis;
• clubfoot;
• spinal disorders such as scoliosis;
• corns;
• hammertoe lesions;
• varicose veins.

The custom-made products help the foot assume the most natural position possible thanks to their specific design. The most important components are:

• supinator – Increase in the area of the longitudinal arch of the foot to prevent the foot from tipping inwards;
• Heel shock absorber – The heel shock absorber relieves the weight of the foot;
• Metatarsal pads – Soft tissue in the area of the transverse arch, which relieves pain when walking;
• Wedges – in different heights and sizes that change the position of the foot.

The systematic wearing of 'orthopedic insoles' improves blood circulation in the feet and legs in general, reduces the load on the leg joints, reduces the feeling of fatigue in the legs and reduces the risk of pathologies.

What types of orthoses are there?

types of orthotics

There are different types of orthoses that differ in their use, design and the materials from which they are made.

The use of orthoses is divided into: prophylaxis, comfort and therapy.

prophylactic – These orthotic models are particularly recommended to reduce the strain when walking or standing for long periods, especially in certain professions. They also help reduce leg fatigue. This type is recommended for:

• Salespeople, hairdressers, couriers and many others who are constantly on their feet;
• Pregnant women who put particularly heavy strain on their legs;
• people suffering from varicose veins;
• some athletes;
• Women who like to wear high heels.

Comfort – Recommended for people with wide feet, with congenital or acquired toe deformities, with grade III or IV flat feet.

Therapeutic As the name suggests, they are intended to help correct certain changes in the bones of the foot that are associated with poor blood circulation. Wearing corrective insoles can cause pain, mainly because they apply local pressure to a specific area of the foot, returning it to its correct, physiological position.

Therapeutic footbeds are divided into the following categories:

orthopedic insoles

If you have obvious foot problems, it's best to run with orthotics. These are available in pharmacies and are made to order. Custom-made products are better, but also more expensive. These insoles do not help treat foot pathologies, but prevent their progression during active movement.

Orthopedic insoles for running with flat feet are made of soft materials that provide absolute comfort. Depending on the model, there may be additional inserts made of gel or other materials.

The front part of these insoles fixes the toes and there is a groove in the heel area that contributes to physiologically correct foot alignment. To ensure even pressure distribution, orthopedic sports insoles (for adults and children) have wedges in the back area. These prevent swelling and discomfort when running and other strains.

Gel sports insoles

They are well padded, making them suitable for jogging on asphalt and other hard paths and preventing friction on sensitive areas. The spring force and elasticity help protect the joints and spine during impact.

Gel insoles are often used for orthopedic and cushioning sports insoles, but there are also full gel models. They are easy and comfortable to wear and require little care and a long drying time. They last between a few months and six months, after which it is better to replace them with new insoles.

The material reacts to changes in load at different points on the insole and ensures even pressure distribution. If it increases in size in one place, the contact area between the foot and the sole increases and the negative effects are reduced.

The gel filling of the insoles moves inside in a wave-like movement, creating a massage effect. This improves blood circulation and prevents foot swelling and fatigue. There are products for adults and for children, but it takes 1-2 weeks to get used to them.
