Running shoes are specialized footwear designed to provide support and comfort for runners, joggers, and other athletes. They are designed with unique features such as cushioning, stability, and breathability to reduce the risk of injury and improve performance during physical activity.
Running shoes are available in a variety of styles, including minimalist shoes, which have a low profile and minimal cushioning, and maximalist shoes, which have extra cushioning to absorb shock.
