許多剛剛開始跑步的人心中一定會有一個疑問，那就是到底要不要買專門跑步的鞋子。 還是買一雙多功能鞋﹝cross-training shoes﹞就行了。 2004一月的Runner's World有一個專欄為這個問題提出了回答。 「The Shoe Doctor」的專欄作家Bob Wischnia認為，如果你計劃每週跑三次， 每次約跑3英哩﹝以上﹞，你最好找一雙跑鞋﹝訓練鞋，初學者不要買比賽鞋﹞。 因為他提供了良好的避震﹝籃球鞋的避震特質與跑步不同﹞、支撐與彈性， 能保護你的腳避免受傷。 以下是原文，轉載自2004一月的Runner's World，提供給有興趣的跑友參考： WHEN TO CROSS THE LINE Q: I'm new to running and recently bought a pair of cross-training shoes. I was told by the salesperson that they're fine for beginning runners, but my more seasoned running friends tell me they're not. Who's right? A: Possibly both. It just depends on the type of cross-trainers you bought. Some cross-training models (such as the Adidas ClimaCool Striation, the New Balance 1005 or 790, and the Nike Air Max Specialist) are fine for light running because they're basically running shoes with different upper patterns and colors. But there are "true" cross-trainers out there that are designed specifically for baskedball, tennis, spinning, aerobics, and weight lifting. These shoes usually aren't appropriate for more than very light rinning. Generally speaking, if you're planning on running more than 3 days a week, at 3 miles or more per pop, you're better off in a running shoe for its cushioning, support, and flexibility. A running shoe will help keep you injury-free and allow you to run more comfortably. Save your cross-trainers, just wear them for other activities. -- TALENT is cheaper than table salt.
