Basketball shoes should not be worn for running.

1. The running shoes are specially designed for straight-line movement. Special shock-absorbing materials are used on the outside of the heel. The texture is soft and can absorb energy. The purpose is to strengthen the stability of the root; The material inside the heel is hard, which can prevent the excessive eversion of the ankle when the foot falls to the ground, and reduce and avoid the strain of some feet, knees and even the waist.

2. Basketball shoes are more suitable for indoor wooden floors, which have a strong relaxing effect. Therefore, the root of the shoe is made of the same material around, and the shock absorption function is not strengthened on the outside. In addition, because basketball often uses running, jumping, emergency starting and stopping, changing direction and other actions, players often need to use the forefoot and the middle of the foot.
Therefore, basketball shoes pay more attention to the anti friction and braking functions of the sole. The shock absorption system is generally distributed in the forefoot and the middle of the foot. At the same time, the stability in all directions is also considered.

3. To sum up, running in basketball shoes with weak lateral shock absorption effect will cause pronation of the lower leg, increase the load on both knees, and naturally increase the risk of injury.If you are only jogging at ordinary times and the road conditions are relatively safe, such as ordinary road or field running, it is recommended to choose lightweight training shoes or even minimalist five finger shoes. Because of the short distance and low intensity, you can focus more on the correct running posture and the development of sports habits. At this time, the requirements for running shoes are not high.

If you like long-distance running, such as running for more than 10 kilometers each time, or participating in marathon or cross-country running, it is recommended that you choose running shoes to focus on cushioning and wrapping, that is, to pay attention to the protection of your feet
