Men’s Running Shoes
Summary: Men require an entirely different kind of shoe than women.
One thing is certain: A woman’s foot isn’t a scaled down version of a man’s foot. So, traditionally, wearing shoes not intended for the specific sex isn’t beneficial. On some occasion a woman may find a certain running shoe flexible and sturdy enough but a man will find it too limp that it wouldn’t even provide minimal motion control. By nature men’s running shoes are for all intents and purposes made tougher since it gets rough up more often than a woman’s shoe.
Manufacturers for several years have been producing shoes modeled for men almost exclusively, but over the years, they have also begun to include women’s design in their manufacturing repertoire.
Men’s running shoes are typically stronger and tougher than women’s shoes. Since men generally weighs far heavier than women on the same height range, more cushion should be applied on the soles of men’s running shoes. Likewise, men on the run will pound the lane heavier than women, so the heel should also sport larger shock absorber. You might ask why women’s shoe should be lesser in features than women. The reason would be that all the augmentation of cushion and shock pads can make a shoe considerably stiff. Though a man’s natural strength can easily bend a shoe of this kind, women will find it considerably hard to move naturally.
The minor aspects would be that a usual man’s foot has an expectedly broad forefoot whereas the women’s tend to be more angular.
