Article by jekky

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


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.
