Who knows this guy ran for a week after he got his shoes? When Lao Wei saw him again, he found that his feet had changed back to those colorful water fields-Inspire 17.
At first, I didn't care. Later, when we were on the treadmill in the gym, he told me that he decided to continue wearing Mizuno instead of Arthur.
I asked him why, and he told me three reasons.
My friend's arch is normal, his weight is not big, and he has no varus. Accustomed to Mizuno, it's normal for him to try King Arthur or Kayano series for the first time.
Although Kayano 28 from Yaser and Inspire 17 from Mizuno belong to stable support running shoes, Kayano 28' s sense of support is too outstanding for him.
Besides, he said Arthur's shock absorption is very good. Although I'm not used to supporting, I'm steady, but I feel a little heavy, so I can't pull up the speed during long-distance running.
I smiled and said, "You are not a newcomer, so you don't need to protect such high shoes. Kayano is more suitable for beginners and mass runners, and your excitement is boring. "
Every generation of Kayano is very protective. As a supporting running shoe, its cushioning ability can be ranked among the cushioning running shoes.
And Kayano is suitable for a wide range of people. Especially for runners with valgus and insufficient arch support, Kayano is simply a protector.
He smiled and agreed, and then gave me a second reason.
My friend said that he is a semi-old runner, and he won't get hurt easily when running. But after putting on K 28, I feel "protected".
I asked him how he felt, and he said, "I can't say it's bad, but it's bad for me." It feels like it wants to protect me especially, but I really don't need such good protection. "
Hearing this, Lao Wei understood. Kayano 28 is "over-performing" in his feeling.
How to understand it? It's like you are a good player yourself, and then you hire a bodyguard. Every move you make, he wants to make sure you are foolproof. Even if you go to the toilet, he can't wait to stand in the back and give you toilet paper.
This situation needs to be discussed in categories, aiming at mass runners and novices. Kayano is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
However, for advanced runners with certain strength and higher pursuit of pace, such strong protection is not needed. They want to sacrifice the protection of running shoes and lose weight in exchange for faster pace.
In contrast, Inspire 17 is more suitable for my friends. The midsole of Inspire 17 is made of U4ic, which is light in weight. Coupled with the Enerzy material in the lower layer of the back palm, it can have a better foot feeling and rebound experience.
Moreover, the heel has fan-shaped wave pieces, and the buffering ability is also emphasized enough.
In the laughter, we talked about the third reason.
Mizuno is a vegetarian, and the writer Haruki Murakami also said: "The shoes of this manufacturer have a natural sense of trust because they have not deliberately added any gimmicks."
To tell the truth, even a runner like Lao Wei, who doesn't have a high demand for face value, naturally has a soft spot for this kind of running shoes design. There is a simple reason. "Vegetarian" may not look good, but it is by no means "ugly", and there will be surprises occasionally.
So for him who chose Mizuno from the novice stage, the shape of Kayano 28 may be a bit dazzling.
Lao Wei himself is ok in this respect, because I am a performing party, and whether I look good or not is never the most important. How to perform is the first factor.
My friend likes to be a little simple, so he can't accept Arthur's Tiger Claw pattern and color scheme, which is his third reason.
How can I put it? On aesthetics, Lao Wei thinks that turnips and cabbages have their own tastes, and no one can tell who is ugly. My friend didn't say ugly either. He likes plain face.
As for performance, just because my friend doesn't like Kayano 28 doesn't mean he thinks Kayano 28 is not a good pair of shoes. He himself thinks Kayano 28' s protection is in place, but it is not suitable for him. Because of his level of runners, there are also many people who love Kayano.
Runners choose running shoes just like knights choose weapons. Just as Yin Xue Dao is a good one, Bu Jingyun doesn't use it well, but he prefers to use a peerless sword.
Kayano 28 is the patron saint of most novices, but my friend is not a novice and does not need such high protection. What he needs is enough performance, foot feeling and enough pace, so he continues to choose the previous choice.
