Running in flat shoes has many benefits
Begin by running small sprints and jogs in your flat shoes. Gradually increase your mileage each day. After some training, you might be comfortable running in flat shoes again if your previous shoes are worn. It is best to avoid wearing flat shoes over long distances. This can cause injuries.
The type of running and distance you are running will play a part in the choice of the right flat. For shorter distances, you will want to wear a lighter-weight shoe that will be easier on your feet. A pair of shoes should weigh between 7 and 10 ounces if you're running for a half or more marathon. You can adjust your shoe's weight as you run.
Flat shoes have some down sides
Flat shoes may be more comfortable than heels but they are less supportive than traditional running shoes. Flat shoes must be correctly fitted to the feet. They can be slow to adapt to. It is best to start by walking shorter distances and gradually increase your distance.
Flat feet can also lead too much pronation. This can cause strain in the ankles. This can lead to poor alignment and posture. It can also put additional strain on the ankle tendons, which can cause tendon injuries. This is especially true when the surface is hard.
Other alternatives to running with flat shoes
