Men's Running Shoes

Why Wear Height Increasing Running Shoes?

Improved Running Mechanics

Stride Length:

Height-increasing running shoes can potentially improve your running stride length. With a slightly elevated heel, these shoes can encourage a longer stride, leading to increased speed and efficiency. A longer stride can also reduce the risk of overstriding and related injuries.

Posture Alignment:

Wearing height-increasing running shoes can help improve your posture alignment during runs. The elevated heel can promote a more upright posture, aligning your spine and reducing the risk of slouching or improper form. Proper alignment can enhance your running efficiency and reduce the strain on your joints.

Enhanced Performance

Increased Leg Power:

The added height provided by these shoes can contribute to increased leg power. The slight elevation can engage different muscle groups, particularly in the calves and ankles, resulting in improved propulsion during runs. This can lead to faster speeds and better overall performance.

Improved Stability:

Height-increasing running shoes often incorporate features that enhance stability and balance. These elevator shoes are designed with supportive midsoles, cushioning, and traction patterns that improve your footing and reduce the risk of ankle injuries. Enhanced stability can help you maintain control during sudden direction changes or uneven terrain.

What to Look for When Chose Running Shoes That Add Height?

Treading

Depending on where you typically run, you should choose shoes with different treading on the outsole.

Running shoes’s treading is intentionally designed to accommodate specific surfaces such as concrete, outdoor trails, or even the track.

Where you run makes a difference in the running shoes you wear. Various surfaces place different demands on your body, and your shoes must fight by your side to overcome these demands.

Track or road running shoes are typically outfitted with smooth grooves that are not set very deep into the outsole; trail runners, on the other hand, have deep lugs that help runners grip the trail and avoid slipping.

Cushioning/Fit

Height increasing running shoes have sufficient cushioning to keep runners comfortable while also preventing the risk of injury.

Your daily trainers for running should leave the slightest amount of room for your foot to swell while running, although it can’t be too loose. Would hate for your shoes to fall off!

Cushioning is essential for runners; without it comes an array of injuries and discomfort.

Runners can opt for a barefoot feel (minimalist cushioning), cloud-like cushioning (maximal cushioning), or find themselves anywhere in between.

The two biggest determinants for cushioning are the materials the midsole is crafted with as well as the thickness of the midsole.

Having two or more pairs of running shoes can make them both last longer.

Materials

Materials are a defining factor in elevator running shoes as they can make or break your running performance and experience.

Another key characteristic of running shoes is the usage of lightweight, breathable materials.

Running shoes that add height are commonly made of some sort of mesh material for breathability. This not only keeps your feet from smelling bad, but it leads to fewer blisters and a lightweight shoe as well.

Weight

The last thing any runner wants is to be weighed down by their sneaker of choice.

The weight of running shoes is important in performance. Most commonly, running shoes are lightweight; however, weight can sometimes be sacrificed for cushioning or better treading in the case of trail shoes.

Lightweight shoes are effortless to run in. Instead of feeling like you’re drudging through concrete, light shoes help put some spring in your step.

There’s scientific evidence behind this: minimal running shoes lead to improved running economy. Without the extra weight to drag you down, your running form is more ergonomically efficient.
