Tai Ji Chuan is a popular sport for all ages, which has a good effect on health preservation. When practicing Tai Ji Chuan, it is not only more professional to wear tai chi suit and Tai Chi shoes that suit your feet, but also helpful to practice Tai Chi and protect yourself. However, Tai Chi shoes are not casually worn, and there are certain requirements:
1, material requirements
The common materials of Tai Chi shoes are canvas and leather. Generally, choose suitable Tai Chi shoes according to different seasons: in summer, it is better to wear Tai Chi shoes with thin materials and good air permeability; In the cold winter, it is more suitable for Tai Chi shoes made of soft cowhide, and the velvet inside has better warmth retention.
2, sole requirements
Taiji shoes require soft soles, usually beef tendon soles or polyurethane soles. This kind of shoes is more elastic and wear-resistant, which is suitable for Tai Ji Chuan, which needs foot movement.
3. Upper limit requirements
If the upper of Tai Chi shoes is hard, it will feel that the ankle movement is not flexible enough, and it will rub your feet if you wear it for a long time. If you wear your feet, it will not only affect your enthusiasm, but also hurt your feet.
Generally speaking, Tai Chi shoes require loose fit, soft soles and flat and elastic fabrics.
Second, what should I pay attention to when wearing Tai Chi shoes?
A pair of comfortable, fit and beautiful Tai Chi shoes is of great help to practicing Tai Chi. When choosing and wearing Tai Chi shoes, we should pay attention to:
1, pay attention to whether Tai Chi shoes fit.
Choosing shoes that fit is the key, and Tai Chi shoes are no exception. A pair of fitted Tai Chi shoes can not only make you play Tai Ji Chuan more freely, but also avoid blisters.
2. Pay attention to the breathability of Taiji shoes.
Although Tai Chi pays attention to peace, it is a sport after all, and it always sweats. Breathable Tai Chi shoes can make the sweat on the feet evaporate quickly and prevent the feet from being infected by bacteria and fungi.
3. Wear Tai Chi shoes according to the foot type
There are three kinds of feet: low arch or flat arch, normal arch and high arch. Foot with flat arch is suitable for Tai Chi shoes with strong heel support. People with high arches should wear Tai Chi shoes with strong shock absorption and no deformation of heels; Normal arch can wear ordinary Tai Chi shoes.
