Sports shoes should be comfortable and provide safety even during the most demanding training. How to choose the perfect shoes for running and the gym?

How to choose shoes for the gym? Tips for everyone

Gym shoes should be different from typical running shoes in some ways – what are they? Well, shoes designed for strength training are wider and more rigid, the specific design of the sole makes the heel higher than the toes (such solutions reduce the risk of injury during exercises such as squats or weightlifting). A model with a reinforced upper part will guarantee additional protection in case of an unexpected fall. Look for shoes with breathable mesh.

When it comes to the size, training shoes for the gym cannot be neither too loose nor too tight. Therefore, it is worth trying on the models you are interested in, having on your feet sports socks, in which you normally exercise during a visit to the gym.

How to choose shoes for running? What should you pay attention to?

The ideal model of shoes for amateur running should be characterized by a soft and at the same time breathable upper (preferably with stabilizing elements, such as reinforcement in the heel area). As far as the sole of running shoes is concerned, it is worth paying attention to its flexibility, grip and adequate cushioning. Of course, before buying it is worth trying the shoes on, to make sure that they are comfortable and fit your feet. You should be aware that shoe models from different brands may differ slightly in terms of the size chart.

When buying running shoes, it is also worth taking into account the type of ground on which we will most often conduct our training. For example, if your route consists mainly of asphalt roads, the shoes should provide more cushioning and foot stability than if you run on forest paths.

How much do good training shoes cost?

Many people wonder how much do decent sports shoes cost that will survive the most intense running or strength training. As experts point out, the minimum amount that is worth investing in this type of footwear is 150-250 PLN. At this price, we can find a large selection of models of major brands, such as Puma, Adidas, Nike, Reebok and Asics.

We hope that thanks to our tips to choose the optimal footwear will be smooth and accurate. If you do not have experience in buying this kind of shoes, it is worth asking for help from a salesperson in a sports store or consulting friends who are regular gym-goers or active runners.

How to care for white shirts?
Every man has his favorite white shirt in his closet. However, not everyone knows how to take care of it. Collar, cuffs, sleeves, button fastenings - shirts have a complex cut full of many nooks and crannies that can easily get dirty or damaged. If you're tired of deodorant stains, folds, and other signs of premature wear and tear on this garment, read this article. Here's how to take care of your white shirts. Buy quality shirts First of all, remember that you should always, or at least often, put quality over quantity. A 65% polyester and 35% cotton shirt made in Bangladesh for £50 will not last you for years, even if you try to look after it. Although the price is not a guarantee of quality, it is worth paying attention to the material. Look closely at what the shirt is made of, how it is finished and make a checklist of points to check. When all of these points are "ticked off," you will know that a particular shirt will last with you for at least a few years Don't always wear the same shirt A practical rule of thumb for keeping clothing in good condition is to avoid over-wearing it. Just like with a pair of nice shoes, don't put on the same white shirt several times a week! The more times you put it on, the sooner you'll have to say goodbye to it Choose the right wash program The washing machine is a good friend to men, but it can quickly become your clothes' worst nightmare. For white shirts, try to follow the directions on the label. If you're not sure how to wash your shirt, don't go above 40° and don't wash it by hand. Also take care of the washing cycle, do not overload the machine and pay attention to the colors of the clothes you put into it. Wash white shirts only with other white clothes and use a special white washing powder. If necessary, use a stain remover before washing Avoid the dryer, just use a good hanger Once your shirt is clean, take it out of the washing machine as quickly as possible so that it doesn't wrinkle too much and absorb the unpleasant smell caused by moisture. Even if you have the option of putting it in the dryer, don't. Your best bet is to lay the shirt out on a fairly large wooden rack and stretch its sleeves well to keep them from creasing. This will make ironing easier later Make sure the shirt is clean before ironing Before ironing, take a close look at your shirt to verify that it is clean. If there is still a little dirt on it, wash it again and then let it dry. Stubborn stains can come from laundry detergent if you poured too much of it into the washing machine. Hang up your shirt properly If your shirt is clean and ironed, it's time to put it in the closet. After ironing, wait for the fabric of the shirt to cool down. Avoid metal hangers that can distort the sleeves. The hanger should be made of wood or plastic with fairly wide edges and, if possible, rounded on the sides Make sure your deodorant has dried before you put on your shirt Deodorants in beads or sprays provide an "anti-yellow stain" effect. However, yellowish underarm stains can still appear on your white shirt. To solve this problem, remember to wait for the deodorant to dry before you put on your shirt. Wet deodorant should not come in direct contact with the fabric
