Today, there are a range of options available in terms of flexibility, cushioning, breathability of the outer & inner materials, and orthopaedic qualities. And thus, although the activities are quite alike, there lies a distinction even between cross-trainers, walking shoes and running shoes. Let us see how.
Cross Trainers - They try to offer a versatile compromise between basketball, tennis, and other court footwear. They have a more firm metatarsal support compared to running shoes, but they lack adequate cushioning when it comes to long-distance running.
Walking Shoes - The soles of walking shoes are more flexible as they are designed to promote a natural walking motion. The cushioning can absorb around 1.5 times our body weight. They are usually made of highly breathable and light materials. The tread designs in walking shoes aren't very deep, but the sides and soles offer an all round grip.
Running Shoes - You can buy running shoes if you are looking for something that can offer adequate lateral stability while controlling body movement, and absorb impacts that amount to twice or thrice your body weight. The sides and treads of these shoes are designed to provide maximum forward grip. Running shoes have higher heels that are more heavily cushioned.
