THE IMPORTANCE OF SPORTS SHOES
Advances in the quality of artificial turf sports, has grown soccer fields or tennis paddle with surfaces covered by this material. This increased use of artificial turf in sports has marked a turning point in the design of sports shoes, especially in the world of football and paddle. Brands have developed new athletic shoes with soles and heels for this specific type of flooring.
The use of proper shoes for each type of synthetic surface, will improve the athlete's performance, reducing the risk of injury. In addition, artificial turf will also benefit, prolonging life and maintaining their properties longer.
FOOTBALL BOOTS
In the case of football boots have undergone a continuous evolution throughout history. Especially in terms of materials used and design, increasing efficiency and performance of the player on the pitch. Has been improved ball control, increase power, optimize traction and reduce the risk of injury.
Today there are a variety of brands manufacturers of boots, and all with a variety of designs and types of soil. To choose the shoes that best suits our needs, we must take into account the soil type, the number of blocks, the material they are made, their length, the support surface, etc. ...
The key to understanding what our ideal boots, is to analyze the characteristics of artificial turf. It is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate a synthetic field of natural grass field. Although still not all artificial turf fields are equal and have the same quality, depending on manufacturers, materials and finishes. These variables make it difficult to speak of a particular type of artificial grass field.
Most artificial turf fields are the last generation have filled rubber, have become the most popular surface in base and sport at youth level to professional level, surpassing the natural grass and earth.
The latest generation synthetic fibers are 45 to 60 mm in height, on which a base is added to silica sand and rubber granules on top, leaving 1.5 inches uncovered synthetic fiber.
MULTI-STUDDED RUBBER
For this kind of land, we recommend the use of Multi-studded rubber. With greater number of studs (short, rounded), provide a discharge area for the very high body weight, increasing stability for the leg joints and decreasing the possibility of catching the foot.
ROUGH GROUND
The other type of artificial turf field is still dominated the first generation, which are the oldest. They base areas in which the synthetic fiber is very short in length with a base of silica sand. For these cases, you should opt for rough-soled boots.
THE PADDLE SHOE
The paddle tennis shoes is a major element for the game. It is important that the shoes fit paddle to the habits and characteristics of each player. To play paddle tennis, you need a shoe soles with good grip but at the same time, leave room to glide across the floor. The soles have to hold on to the track when you start, slide when you stretch to reach the ball and allow you to make turns with ease. The shoe must also hold the foot properly in every movement. It is also important to avoid possible injury and to be durable, maintaining its characteristics for long enough.
Although at first might think otherwise, paddle tennis shoes are not the same tennis shoes. Manufacturers agree on the similarities of both on the inside, with good air chamber, the ankle, having a good support ... However, the sole should be more similar to that used by tennis players on grass , ie spike or tip to better grip the player.
A pear that both the tennis and paddle have similar needs cushioning, support and stability, the displacements are different in tennis usually horizontal oblique, while paddle more vertical displacements and rotations. That is why paddle shoes must have specific characteristics.
In a paddle tennis court of artificial grass, the soil will have enough to keep drawing when we started skating. Therefore, it is important that the soles have this minimum depth in the drawing, and therefore the most appropriate shoe soles are Omni or dots.
