Footwear and Running Compression Socks
Women are different than men. It’s true. That means that selection of running shoes and running compression socks is different as well.
In addition to the physical differences, the hormonal changes that go on in a woman’s body changes the flexibility of her feet during the course of the month. That is not an issue with men. Running shoes and running compression socks may work fine during a part of the month, then the story changes later on. Shoemakers and running compression socks manufacturers are starting to factor this in along with everything else. The fact that women buy more running compression socks and more running shoes than men helps them make this decision easily. Women more and more are coming into power at a business executive level, as in the major shoe chains.
You can see the difference from when athletic shoes stores lined their walls for the men, and ignored the women. Back then, the women’s shoes were typically fashion items vs functional. Watch the progression, men. You may struggle to find what you want on the display wall the way women used to if the trend continues and watch for color scheme changes in running compression socks as well.
