For 86kg's runner, what are Nike's top running shoes for you?

Some runners asked: I am 182cm tall and weigh 172 pounds. I want to ask Nike what top running shoes are suitable for beginners. I don’t need to consider the price, I want the best.

If the top running shoes this runner is talking about are racing shoes like Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT%. So, let me first say that running shoes are not the more expensive the better, the best running shoes are the ones that suit you.

For novice runners, it is easy to fall into “the higher the price of running shoes is the best running shoes“, in fact, the most expensive running shoes may not be suitable for you, buy the wrong, not only a waste of money, but also make you run more prone to injury.

As a novice runner, it is best not to choose racing shoes. Racing shoes are designed for high-level runners, mainly for the pursuit of speed and improving performance. In order to reduce weight, racing shoes have given up a lot of protective materials. The protection of runners is very limited. In addition, some training shoes with weak protection are not recommended for novice runners.

Jogging shoes are the best choice for novice runners, because the first thing runners need is protection when they first start running, and when jogging shoes are designed, they will pay attention to the protection of running shoes, so as to make them suitable for ordinary running hobby. reduce sports injuries.

If the top running shoes mentioned by runners refer to the heavy-weight running shoes suitable for runners over 80kg in jogging shoes. So, congratulations runner, you made the right choice.

Jogging shoes are usually divided into three levels, divided into entry-level, sub-top and top. We usually recommend heavy runners over 80kg to choose top running shoes. Runners weighing 86kg are obviously heavy runners. It is very correct to choose Nike‘s top jogging shoes.
