Deconstructing The Structure And Design Concept Of Jogging Shoes

The expectation of ordinary people for shoes is mainly comfort and fashion, but athletes may ask for more. They hope that shoes will have the function of supporting and protecting, and explosive force.

In recent years, the competition for making perfect running shoes has attracted almost the same attention as finding a cure for influenza.

Manufacturers, medical advisors, athletes themselves focus on their feet, trying to find ways to increase speed.

Why is that?

Because more and more people are running, jogging, walking and running for interest and weight loss in recent years.

This has made a lot of changes in jogging shoes in the past 20 years.

All running from barefoot to competition can be traced back to ancient Greece, when people thought that "healthy psychology stems from a healthy body".

In ancient Greece, athletes who participated in running competitions were barefoot and often ran naked.

Later, the Romans insisted on wearing thin bottom sandals.

Abebe Bikila, a long-distance runner from Ethiopia, won the gold medal in the marathon at the Olympic Games held in Rome in 1960.

The shoe makers all over the world were surprised to find that he had won the prize only by barefoot.

Up to now, the footwear industry has been developing for many centuries, and leather has become the most popular shoe making material because of its outstanding durability.

The first pair of shoes, especially those designed for running, appeared in 1852. Historians found that the athletes wore conical shoes while running.

In 1900, the first pair of sports shoes or all-around sports shoes were formally designed.

Most of these sneakers are made of canvas, especially with a comfortable rubber edge.

It was because Charles Goodyear invented rubber vulcanization in 1839 that the shoe making method became possible.

Goodyear is heating up and mixing rubber and sulfur, giving the old product with limited application scope a new life.

Vulcanization can be avoided by using vulcanization.

In athletes' shoes, rubber can be used as a pad, directly on the hard bottom while running, but it can not last for too long.

Athletes running at high speed have great impact on shoes.

Rubber shoes are not strong enough, so leather will soon return to become a more popular sports shoe making material.

However, there is still a big gap between leather and ideal materials.

Besides expensive, leather shoes will also scratch the athlete's feet.

People who wear running shoes have to buy suede as a pad for shoes to get extra protection.

Scot Rikins came up with a solution.

He invented a specially custom-made shoe with a seamless head on the toe of the shoe.

The method is very simple. Only special materials are inserted at the wiring points of the shoes and shoes, and can be processed with hard materials.

The sleeve protects soft toe from friction.

In 1925, Adolf Deisler, a German shoemaker, decided to put all his energy into making sports shoes and start his own business with his brother Rudolf.

Dace's running shoes provide arch support and speed up system. Their high quality products attract many famous athletes, many of whom are Olympic athletes.

Deisler brothers then set up companies respectively - Adolf founded Adidas and Rudolf founded Puma.

In the middle of twentieth Century, another running shoe manufacturer came to the new England Hyde movement.

A production process from Hyde's running shoes, which was introduced in 1949, records the characteristics of the kangaroo skin, the welt structure (the strip is the belt that connects the upper and the sole), the elastic triangular cover (a triangular leather on the upper part of the shoe), and the sole covering the raw rubber, and uses the special crepe material especially for the sole.

In the middle of twentieth Century, the most unusual pair of running shoes were sports shoes worn by Japanese athletes Tanaka Mau in winning the 1951 Boston Marathon Championship.

This pair of shoes is called Tiger. It is made from traditional Japanese clogs with big toes separated from four other toes.

In 1960s, a company called new balance began to study the effects that people may have on foot when they run.

As a result of this study, the new balance developed a new type of running shoes, the basic structure of which includes corrugated sole and triangular heel to absorb the impact of feet on the ground.

In 1972, Bauer gate, the track and field coach of University of Oregon and the founder of Nike, poured polyurethane into his wife's cookie maker.

Fortunately, no one has eaten this kind of rubber batter, and the invention of Bauer door from kitchen has become a new kind of shoe sole material, which is superior to all other materials in friction and comfort.

In the following year, Nike soon launched the "egg milk baking" running shoes.

There are about 20 components of jogging shoes, and the following parts are the most basic.

Each pair of shoes has two main parts: vamp, covering the top and side of the whole foot, and the sole, that is, the place where the running shoes are in contact with the ground.

A clockwise rotation is used to study the production process of a pair of shoes, starting from the front end of the shoe upper, first of all the glue line, and the sideline of the front baffle (or toe pad) of the shoe and the bottom of the shoe.

Next is the front end of the vamp, usually a single piece of material, which allows the shoe to eventually form and leave the position of the sleeve.

The front part of the vamp also contains some accessories, such as the throat part attached to the shoelace and shoe eye.

The lower part of the shoelace is the shoe tongue, which can prevent the feet from touching directly with the shoelace and providing protection for the feet.

Also on the side of the running shoes attached to the front of the shoe is reinforcement.

If the reinforcement is sewn on the outside of the shoe, it is called the saddle piece. If the seam is inside the shoe, it is called the arch rib.

Near the rear part of the shoe, that is, the shoe collar is close to the heel.

At the tip of the back of the shoe is usually a protective layer of Achilles tendon -- Achilles tendon is a hard tissue that connects the heel bone to the muscle of the calf.

It is named after the name of Achilles, a warrior and hero in Greek mythology, because Achilles's only weakness is his heel.

Each pair of sports shoes protects the rear part of the shoe from forming.

Below it is the back heel of the heel, supporting a heel with a plastic cup.

There are three main parts of the bottom of the jogging shoe: the sole, the middle and the middle.

The sole of the shoe provides friction and shock absorption. The sole is specially designed to absorb vibration, and supports the heel.

The shoe insole also contains arch support (also called arch pad).

The insole is made of a thin layer of hand made chemical foam called vinyl acetate (EVA).

The sole of the shoe can provide most of the shock absorption function, and the manufacturing processes of different manufacturers are also different.

In general, it is made of polyurethane (a kind of plastic resin foam material) wrapped in another material, such as gel or liquid silicon, or special polyurethane foam with manufacturer's brand.

In some cases, polyurethane may be wrapped outside the capsule full of compressed air.

The sole of the shoe is usually made of carbon rubber. The carbon rubber is solid or porous rubber, which is softer than the ordinary rubber. The manufacturer classifies the material to make the shoe sole with different texture.

The manufacturing materials for other parts of jogging shoes are usually synthetic materials, such as artificial goat skins, nylon and plastic plate braided materials, or boards used to support shoes.

Sports shoes are sometimes made of leather covering material or nylon covered with leather accessories.

Cloth is usually applied only to shoelaces that pass through plastic shoelaces, and nails that are now replaced by strong glue. Strong glue is also called durable glue, which can connect all parts of sports shoes together.

Once the running shoes are finished, the factory inspector will check if the shoes are defective, such as unqualified shoe last, unfinished adhesion or stitching errors.

Because running can lead to a variety of injuries to the bipedal, tendon and leg ligaments, footwear manufacturers need additional tests to assess the ability of running shoes to absorb shock.

The "foot" technology is becoming more and more popular with jogging. Jogging people need shoes that can prevent injury.

Many runners require sports shoes to provide support when the weight is as light as possible.

Nylon invented during the Second World War began to replace the heavier leather and canvas materials formerly used for making running shoes.

Jogging shoes have made great progress in the past 20 years, and now we can find countless types and colors of sports shoes on the market.

Modern shoe designers focus on the anatomy and movement of people's bipedal. By using video recorder and computer, they can analyze some factors, such as the movement of limbs, the influence of different terrain when touching the ground, and the position of the feet when touching the ground.

If a runner swings his feet in motion, his pronation muscles will be marked out, and if his feet are swinging outward when running, he will be marked with the supination muscles.

The above information, together with the pressure acceptance site, friction and impact force, is evaluated by the computer and by the computer to suggest how to adjust to achieve the best effect.

Next, designers will test and develop the original shape of jogging shoes based on their research on jogger and professional runners, so as to prepare for future mass production.

Many sports shoes with quality assurance will add extra support to correct the inward or outward movement of feet when walking.

They help runners to keep their feet forward and avoid injury.

The runner's strength in driving is two to three times his weight.

The manufacturers of sports shoes try to reduce this force by adding air, gel, foam, liquid, gas, plastic, or even tiny rubber balls into the bottom of the shoe.

Many people have different sizes of feet.

If this happens, choose the shoe size that fits the larger foot, then place the insole on the extra space inside the other shoe.

Nowadays, comfortable jogging shoes are not only popular with jogger, but anyone who needs a pair of comfortable and durable shoes can enjoy running shoes with this advantage.

Even white collar workers who wear formal clothes in office buildings tend to wear running shoes when they go to work.

In 1990, consumers bought 15 million pairs of running shoes, with sales of around $645 million.

Now the annual sales of jogging shoes in the United States have reached US $2 billion 355 million.

Researchers note that most people buy running shoes because of their comfort, not for running.

The digitized sneakers are being designed with an electronic chip attached to the heel to measure the runner's speed, distance, heartbeat frequency and calorie burn.

Inserting chips into a computer can read stored information.

Another commercially available invention is a battery operated lighting system, which helps runners at night to see the road at their feet.

In the near future, experts predict that the shoe manufacturers will only have the existing design and production process.
