With the 2007 Women’s World Cup, the 2008 Olympic Games, the right to host the 2010 Asian Games have settled down, the greatest strength of these factors to stimulate the inherent potential of China’s sports shoe, whether it is Nike, Adidas, led by international brands, or Ning, Anta, Erke, special steps, represented by Ma Shi Po domestic brands in China have increased this 9.6 million square kilometers of land input. With China’s accession to WTO and also after the cancellation of a three-year protection period, in all things awakened the spring of 2005, has been that the international brands “dollar” offensive. First, Li Ning lost Adidas, the Beijing Olympic sponsorship to hand over the; longer a match for many domestic brands Adidas, packing 200 million yuan in China Volleyball; last even feel ashamed Chinese Super League the flowers are 4 million Nike…… Perhaps the sports shoe market in China is destined to put on a international brand and the drama of the competition among the domestic brands, international brands face of ferocious, placed in front of many domestic brands, is an unavoidable serious and urgent topic of sports shoes to any breakthrough in China? China sports shoes how to build a strong brand? Imperative to stop friction Chinese sports shoe should be the same line, stop the internal friction, stop price war, stop the vicious competition, the establishment of sports shoes in China Industry Alliance. Perhaps this is not possible to achieve a desire, because so far, very few people can put forward specific options. However, should at least stop the internal friction.??? A well-known marketing expert Chinese athletic shoe friction has become a reality. As we all know, China holds 65% of world production of sports shoes, China alone, there are tens of thousands of small and large manufacturer of sports shoes. These manufacturers have their own brands, they can not be many years working hard to create their own brand and other brands down to combine into a few large group, direct and Nike, Adidas strong words. They have to survive, to compete in the brutal, the most efficient way to advertising, five sets of a sudden become the central channels of sports shoes. Pressure not only from advertising expenditures, sports shoes market competition is that many businesses miserable. China’s current high-end shoes in the market, Nike, Adidas firm hold on the majority of market share, Li Ning at the midrange market simultaneously, and the fierce international brands to compete at the high end, while the Anta, Special step Erke and many other domestic brands in the low end of the market is full. Face of increasingly fierce, the low-end competition in the market situation, experts pointed out: low-tech products, most of the brands and products are basically identical to restrict the escalation of branded products; poor management, human resources more scarce, the rapid development of industry, a lot of staff turnover makes the management of enterprise and talent keep up with development needs; means to compare a single market competition, there has been focus of celebrity endorsements, and even dumping low-cost market, which inevitably brand sports shoes will weaken the competitiveness of the market is not conducive to the overall competitiveness of regional industries and the continued upgrading; a large number of companies with a strong production capacity, will push a large number of sources, the low-end market, transported far beyond the market growth rate, the formation of a market oversupply, and thus low-cost marketing strategies to further increase market competition brutal. So, how to develop sports shoes consumer market, make a big cake, minimizing unnecessary “internal friction”, has become placed in front of every Chinese sports shoes manufacturers top priority. Heaven must be a way, the domestic athletic footwear market prospects for the added confidence of many businesses. According to statistics, the sporting goods industry’s average annual growth rate of 30%, according to the output value of 60 billion in 2002 terms by 2008 the output value of China’s sporting goods industry will reach 300 billion yuan, which is a brand development of Chinese sports shoes the golden opportunity. However, in this environment, the domestic athletic footwear market competition will accelerate, simply wanted to lay a pair of sports shoes, the dream of the world will never be realized. China sports shoes have competition from the products, changes in competition to become the brand, accelerate brand building, enhance the brand’s core competence is another difficulty faced by each firm. Technical innovation, quality trained Sports shoes manufacturers in China must be technical innovation as the foothold, the technology only when you reach and surpass Nike, Adidas, China sports brand than a global brand will be just around the corner!?? Erke WU Rongguang Throughout 2004, sales of the major trends shoes shopping centers, super-expensive high-end sports shoes virtually disappeared, sports shoes and simple style of mid-range return to the trend, and as consumers increasingly pay attention to the sports shoe technology, shoes into the era of technological innovation has become the consensus of many manufacturers. 2004 year is to continue to shuffle the brand sports shoes was also the year a year of technology innovation. 2k3 2k4 took the baton from the writing a brilliant Nike, Adidas’s T-MAC4 also working to match Nike’s technology, we can see that most manufacturers of technological innovation has been put on the agenda, and sports shoes from the competition return to Competitive advertising competition. Innovation in technology, have to mention Erke. Erke can be described as a rising star of Chinese sports brand. Has been Erke a lot of money, dedicated to sports shoes technology research and development, stick to the “technological innovation” development path. Late last year, the launch of Erke simple, dynamic “leader in 2005,” New family of footwear products are based on the original technology only use ERKE a large number of new technologies, nano-materials and imported fabrics, were the first to join the “internal air circulation system, “” high-density independent grip system “,” super-shock system “,” coating-type stability and Technology “and other new technologies, expertise, and in the beginning of this year, the market and consumer demand, Super Star Park re-packaged release of the “four function system” strengthened the Erke technical advantages, its comfortable, breathable wear and perspiration, shock absorption, cushioning and other performance meets the requirements of professional sports. As the China Consumer Association survey, a few years ago, when consumer choice shoes, as long as comfortably fit on it. But with life becoming increasingly influenced by technology, in particular, technological innovation is more beautiful living, the natural choice of sports shoes with the “technical content” This is a layer of stress. Some domestic manufacturers have an accurate grasp of the change, after following the Erke, have also introduced

Choosing Sports Shoes

August 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment


Many people don’t realise there are big differences in the way sports shoes support your feet. It’s not good for your feet if you play football or tennis in the same trainers you use for jogging.

Mike O’Neill of The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists says serious back, knee and hip pain, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints (leg pain), traumatised toes and painful blisters are some of the conditions people wearing ill-fitting trainers may face.

“Unfortunately, 65% of the UK’s recreational sportsmen and women wear the wrong shoes for their chosen sport,” he says. “Trainers are the most important piece of fitness equipment you’ll ever buy and changing what you wear on your feet can prevent injuries.”

Football can put a lot of stress on the feet, especially when playing on hard surfaces such as AstroTurf. The boots can also put pressure on your feet, and it’s not uncommon for a footballer to suffer from corns, calluses or damaged, thickened and ingrown toenails. A good, well-fitting pair of boots is essential and there shouldn’t be any signs of pressure on the foot after a game or training session.

A dancer’s feet can experience a lot of wear and tear. Common foot problems include metatarsalgia (painful condition affecting the metatarsal region of the foot), plantar fascitis (heel pain), shin splints, Achilles tendonitis and calluses. Pain at the front of the foot is common because many dance movements involve landing on the front of the foot after a jump, and friction blisters can be caused by ill-fitting shoes.

It’s important when playing racquet sports, such as tennis or squash, to choose shoes specifically designed for the purpose. These sports involve a lot of side-to-side movement and running shoes won’t offer the right stability. Racquet sport shoes are heavier and stiffer than running shoes, as their toes are built for stop-and-go action. Comfort should be your number one priority and it’s important to replace your sports shoes frequently.

Running shoes are great for running and only running. They’re very flexible, allowing the foot to bend and flex through each step, but they’re not suitable for sports such as tennis that involve sideways stepping.

It’s a good idea to get your running shoes properly fitted to suit your foot type. If they’re too small, they can cause blisters and black toenails. There are many types of trainers on the market, so it’s advisable to find a specialist retailer who will assess your foot and find the right shoe for you.

London Marathon Store manager Gary Malmström says it’s important to ensure you buy a shoe appropriate to your gait (that’s how your foot reacts when you run). “All good specialist running shoe retailers will offer gait analysis in order to get you in the right type of running shoe,” he says.

Walking is a great way to start a fitness regime, while the more adventurous go for hiking. It’s good for your cardiovascular health but is lower impact and so comes with less risk of injury.

The Ramblers Association (see Useful links) offers the following advice on the best footwear for walking and hiking:



For short walks in urban areas or easy countryside, all you need is a good comfortable pair of shoes that won’t cause blisters. Use tough shoes that are a good fit, with an arch support, a slightly elevated heel and ‘breathable’ uppers such as leather. Casual shoes or quality trainers (sneakers) with heavy soles will do.
If you go walking regularly, you could invest in a pair of proper walking shoes or some lightweight walking boots. These will give your feet and ankles proper support and will be waterproof. For highland walks over difficult terrain, however, good walking boots are essential.

Cross-trainers are stiffer, provide more support for side-to-side movements, and can be used across a range of activities.
Sports shoes, ideal for basketball, netball and so on, give a combination of flexibility and sideways support.
Fitness shoes combine flexibility, support and cushioning to absorb impact and lessen shock to the feet. They’re ideal for aerobics.

Best Shoes for Running 101

August 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

When trying to find out what kind of shoe is the best for you while running, you need to determine what kind of runner you are. Also, what exactly do you need the running shoes for? In other words, what kind of surfaces are you going to be running on? These are the types of questions that you must answer before going out and buying a specific type of shoes. This will help you save time and probably some money if you buy the right pair the first time around instead of having to go out and buy another pair of shoes with a better fit.

Now, there are many types of running shoes out there. Some of those include cushioned, motion control, performance training, racing, stability, and trail shoes. Each one of these has been made for a specific purpose for specific people. This is where knowing exactly what kind of runner you are and what kind of running you do will come in handy.

Cushioned shoes are for runners that need maximum cushioning and minimum arch-side support. Those who do best with these kinds of shoes usually have a medium to high arch. Motion control shoes are the best for bigger and heavier runners or those that over pronate too much while running. Performance training shoes are the general type of racing shoe. It can be used for training, efficient running, and running that is considered speed work. Racing shoes are lightweight and versatile and are best used for fast running if you have had no current injuries. Stability shoes are more durable and are for people who need arch-side support with a good midsole cushion. Finally, trail shoes are for those that like to run off-road and are looking for durable rugged shoes that are built low-to-the-ground for added stability.

There are many stores out there that offer running shoes. But, as stated earlier, having the right shoe for your foot for your type of running is very important to your foot health and shoe maintenance. But, there are stores that will offer more specialized shoes and these are the ones that should be considered when seriously looking for the right type of running shoe.

One brand to check out would be K-Swiss. You can find their list of running shoes at www.kswiss.com/running/. Of course, one can not forget Nike, the shoe brand of all shoe brands. While pricey, they offer a good selection at www.store.nike.com. Now, there is another brand out there that should not be forgotten. Another site to consider is www.NBwebexpress.com which sells New Balance Shoes.

Once choosing to actively run for whatever reason, a good shoe is required if you wish to remain comfortable while running and to prevent foot injury or support an old injury. Finding the “Best Shoes for Running”, though, is another story entirely. Although not impossible, it will be difficult unless you answer those question described above and repeated here: what kind of running you will be doing, what kind of foot you have, and what kind of support do you need to fit your profile the best. Once you have these answers you have the tools to find your own best running shoe.

Millard Hiner editor of New Balance Women Walking Shoes and author many footwear articles and reviews has a collection of these on the new website and his Review of Fatbaby Ariat Boots an example of footwear information presented there.

Choosing The Right Shoe For You

August 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

A Well Known Fact

There is no better feeling than when you are wearing a comfortable shoe. Comfortable shoes allow us to enjoy the day’s activities pain free. Wearing shoes that fit properly can also prevent potential health problems from occurring.

When To Buy

Most shoes can last an average of three to twelve months.  As you begin to wear out a shoe, you begin to notice a difference in comfort. Worn out shoes can cause back pain, sore knee joints, or aching feet. The time to replace your shoes is when the cushion has broken down or the motion control has been lost.

Which Shoes To Buy?

Everyone’s foot is different. The best shoe for you is the one that gives you the proper fit, support, cushioning, and flexibility.
Choose a well-cushioned stability shoe that compensates for any irregularities in your foot or your stride.

Some Common Foot Irregularities

High Arched Feet

A high arched foot does not roll inward very much at all. There is a highly curved arch along the inside of the foot. Also, the toes appear to be in a clawed position. Highly arched feet are very rigid and are unable to absorb shock when making contact with the ground. The reason for this is that the foot is not able to  roll inward when the foot makes contact with the ground. This lack of pronation can cause heel, knee, shin, and back problems. Inserting special pads in the shoes, which compensate for this condition, treats highly arched feet. The pads allow the feet to absorb shock more easily. People with high arched feet, should try to stay away from stability or motion control shoes, which reduce foot mobility.

Flat Feet

The term “Flat Feet” refers to people who have a low arch, or no arch at all. Sometimes they are said to have “fallen arches”. Most people’s feet have a space on the inner side when the bottom of the foot comes in contact with the ground. This is called the arch. The height of the arch varies in size from one person to another. Flat Feet are generally a hereditary condition. The best shoe for this condition would be a motion control or stability shoe with a firm midsole.

Over or Under Pronation.

Over pronation is the excessive inward rolling motion of the foot. This inward motion is considered unhealthy because it can cause a great deal of strain on the back, ankles, knees, and lower legs. Over pronation can cause shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and IT band syndrome. Under pronation occurs when the outside of the foot takes the brunt of the shock when coming in contact with the ground. This condition can cause problems with the ligaments in your feet and ankles. Stability shoes feature either a dual density midsole or a roll bar to help combat pronation problems.

Some Helpful Shoe Buying Tips

·    Shop late in the day. Feet tend to swell as the day goes on. Shoes purchased in the morning will feel tight during by afternoon.

·    Shop for shoes with your health and comfort in mind. Your foot size changes every year. Always measure your foot first. This should give you a general range when considering different styles of shoes. Choose shoes that are shaped like your foot.

·    Check to see how the sole feels on the bottom of your foot. It should have a soft and supportive cushion. People with high arches generally need more support.

·    Stand up and take a quick walk to get a feel for the shoe. Your feet shouldn’t slide around inside and there should be little bit of room beyond the largest toe. But no more than 1/2 inch.

Remember: You should never have to “break in” a tight shoe.

How to Walk to Keep Fit

August 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Walking can be divided into two categories; walking to keep fit or walking for more vigorous exercise.

For those people who are not very fit to start off with, or are overweight, walking should be used as a means of keeping fit. Regular steady walking will improve heart conditions, lung conditions and reduce the level of LDL cholesterol in the body as well as lowering blood pressure.

The level of physical strain can vary as well as the speed and terrain, according to the person’s needs and capacity. Those who are less used to exercising in general, may start by less intensive walks, which can evolve into a swift walk, stimulating the heart, lungs and circulatory system. The longer the walk the more calories will be burnt and the more the cardiovascular system will be stimulated.

For more vigorous exercising, walking must start off slowly to warm up the muscles and avoid strain. Stretching may also help once the muscles have warmed up and you are ready for a more intense walking session. The walking exercise can then progress into a quicker pace, with a change of terrain and can last for a longer period.

Ideally this kind of walking exercise should be carried out at least twice a week for at least twenty minutes and should increase in intensity and duration.

Before you set out for your walking exercise consider that you will need a good pair of walking shoes, ideally trainers and a waterproof jacket when walking for long distances. Also think about taking water along with you, or if you are planning to go for a very long walk, prepare some nourishment in order to replenish the body.
