We can talk all day how mental focus, work ethic and determination can make improvements towards your performance. But how about the shoes you wear? Can your shoes improve your results?
Yes, shoes can have a positive impact on your long and short term performance. Shoes that are closer to ground are beneficial when it comes to explosive movements like weight lifting or jumping as well as long distance running. They also give you more control and allow you to be more effective in maintaining your balance and changing direction. Shoes with excessive rubber soles can have a negative impact on running technique which could eventually lead to injury.
Inov8 makes a very durable shoe that is close to the ground and they look pretty cool too. Is it time for you to make an investment in some new shoes?
