Guide: Salomon - The best running shoe models
Shoe rotation means using two or three different models in your training week. Having a shoe rotation for daily running has four important advantages, here are the reasons why it can be beneficial:
Each pair of shoes offers a different level of support, cushioning and energy return. Alternating between different pairs allows you to use different muscles and tendons, reducing the risk of overuse of any one part of your body. This can help prevent injuries such as tendonitis, plantar fascisitis or knee pain.
By alternating shoes, you give them more time to recover. After a workout, the cushioning and structure of the shoe need time to return to their original shape. If you let a pair rest for 24 to 48 hours before using them again, this helps to preserve their properties, prolonging their lifespan.
Different conditions (weather, terrain, type of training) sometimes call for specific types of shoes. For example, a lighter, more dynamic pair for fast sessions, a pair with more cushioning for longer or slower workouts. A rotation allows you to adapt your shoes to the conditions and type of effort.
You optimize the effectiveness of your sessions. For example: light, responsive shoes for splits can improve your performance, while more cushioned, maximalist shoes can reduce muscle fatigue over longer distances.
