The best women's sneakers in 2022

Sports shoes are an integral part of the wardrobe of a modern girl. It can be very different: high or low rise, casual in style or for training in the gym, made of leather or suede, and most importantly - from a wide variety of brands. The Russian market of sports shoes currently has a huge number of options where everyone can find something that is ideal for themselves.

What should you know about running shoes before buying them?

Which companies make sports shoes for women?

• Adidas
• Nike,
• asics,
• saucony,
• puma,
• salomon,
• Demix,
• jordan,
• vans,
• converse,
• New Balance Athletic Shoe,
• reebok,
• Fila,
• kappa,
• under armour,
• K swiss,
• Onitsuka Tiger.

And this is not a complete list.

Sports shoes are produced by a large number of world famous brands, but there is a certain difference between them. All of the above brands can be divided into several conditional groups.

Adidas, Nike, Asics, Jordan, Reebok, New Balance Athletic Shoe, Puma, Saucony, as well as Converse All Stars and Vans are manufacturers that produce shoes in a far from the lowest price segment. Their shoes are wear-resistant, comfortable and of high quality, however, they cost a lot (the average price of shoes of the mentioned brands varies from 6 to 8 thousand rubles).

In turn, Salomon, Demix, Fila, Kappa, Onitsuka Tiger (not to be confused with Asics, since Onitsuka Tiger is a subsidiary company specializing in the production of sneakers and sneakers for everyday life) are brands that supply their goods to the middle price segment. So, the average price of shoes of such brands is about 4-5 thousand rubles. The quality and wear resistance, of course, are slightly lower than those of the manufacturers of the first group, but all the same, such sports shoes are popular with the general population and even athletes.

The third group is represented by brands distributed mainly in Europe and North America: K-Swiss, Under Armor, Topo Athletic, Mizuno, HOKA, Brooks. The Russian market rarely has trade pavilions with such brands. But anyone can order such sports shoes through online stores with delivery from foreign countries.As a rule, their quality and durability are no worse than those of multinational companies.

It is worth noting the fourth group, not marked in the general lists. This included such youth clothing brands as Stradivarius, Bershka, ZARA, Zarina, Pull&Bear, H&M, lefties, forever21, Sela, YOUR, Zolla, Mango, Reservered. They make really inexpensive sports shoes of all kinds. The average price of sports shoes varies from 1500 to 2500 rubles. However, quality and durability suffer noticeably here, especially in sneakers: cheap, low-quality, synthetic materials are used. Keds and slip-ons are popular, but young people try to avoid buying running, training sneakers in these places.

Variety of sports shoes for women.

It is a mistake to assume that sports shoes are only sneakers for running, gym activities or outdoor activities. There is some classification of sports shoes:

• sneakers;
• sneakers;
• slip-ons.

Sneakers are sports shoes mainly on a flat sole, made of fabric, suede or leather. Most sneakers are not designed for running or even gym training, as they cushion the foot and ventilate worse than in sneakers designed for this. Sneakers, like the slip-ons described below, go well with almost all outfits. With a pattern, a bow, a corporate attribute of the company, skater or casual style sneakers - such a wide range is offered by manufacturers of sports shoes to their customers.

Sneakers are sports shoes designed specifically for training in the gym, running, training on the street. Typically, sneakers are produced with a voluminous sole that can flex in accordance with the movement of the foot. Shock-absorbing and ventilating properties, of course, on top.Sneakers are made of mesh fabric that can pass air and repel moisture. Unlike sneakers and slip-ons, sneakers, especially running shoes, are rarely able to blend harmoniously with clothing such as dresses or classic, even skinny pants or jeggins.

For information on how to choose running shoes, see the video:

Slip-ons are a hybrid of sneakers and sneakers. They are made either from satin (this material is used by youth mass market manufacturers, for example, Bershka, Mango, H&M, lefties, forever21, ZARA), or from synthetics (Adidas, Nike). Such sports shoes are put on without any difficulty: in appearance, they resemble house slippers. Slip-ons are popular among both women and men. They are versatile in combination with clothes, they can be combined with any outfit for every occasion.

When choosing sports shoes, you should, first of all, focus on your needs, and then on the desired style. For example, you should not take sneakers for sports instead of sneakers, counting on the fact that you can kill two birds with one stone at the same time in terms of combination with things. It is better to spend a little extra money and buy both sneakers and sneakers, as a result, the shoes will last longer.

Which models have proven themselves in the sportswear market for women?

Interesting fact: March 26 is the famous "Air Max Day", which is organized by Nike. This is the annual celebration of the Nike Air Max line of athletic shoes. The unique production technology of which influenced the further development of production of other brands - competitors. The popularity of these sneakers has not declined since the 1995s.Every year, official Nike stores and retailers receive limited edition models to symbolize this momentous day.

According to the results of people's voting, it was found out that several models received absolute superiority in 2022: Adidas Gazelle OG and Nike Air Huarache, ASICS Gel Lyte III

and Reebook InstaPump Fury. Of course, these are not all sneakers that deserve attention, but it was these two companies that released sports shoes that millions of people liked.

Adidas Gazelle OG

These sneakers from Adidas are quite simple at first glance, but it only seems so at first. The Gazelle line is loved by teenagers, fashionistas and people who appreciate comfortable casual shoes from all over the world. Convenience, elegance and versatility, harmony are combined in this model.

How do literary critics respond to this model: “They agreed. Wave and stone, Poems and prose, ice and fire ... "(c) Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin," Eugene Onegin ".

Adidas Gazelle OG received worldwide recognition not immediately. Some time ago, only teenagers and schoolchildren wore such sneakers. However, after they were noticed by more mature segments of the population, and then a turning point came in the history of their production, creation and design.

Basic (basic models) are produced in several reference colors, black and blue, from high-quality suede. However, recently, due to the possibility of customizing sports shoes and increased collaboration, more and more new varieties of Gazelle OG began to appear: turquoise, pink, beige; in leather or with a snake closure, mesh with a hint of running shoes and even with a smoke pattern.

Customization is the process of creating an amateur (custom) design of an officially released model in a special editor from the manufacturer's brand. Usually, the mentioned editor is present on the website of the company that provides such an opportunity. At the moment, this opportunity is provided by Nike (Nike ID) and Adidas (customization editor). Do not confuse with the production of fake branded shoes, despite the similarity of these two concepts.

Collaboration is a process of interaction, a duet of two or more interested persons or companies (often a brand with a brand or a brand with a well-known media personality). The result is a new, unique product that combines the characteristic features of interacting brands (in the first case) or simply promoted product as a result of interaction and, as a result, advertising of the product (for example, Puma Fenty by Rihanna or Reebok by Oxxymiron). This technique has been popular lately, as there is a mutual benefit for both sides of the collaboration.

One of the main features of the Adidas Gazelle OG is that, despite the main material, suede, they breathe perfectly. The flat sole is equipped with an anatomical insole: no one has ever complained of foot pain after a day spent in these sneakers.

This sports shoe is suitable for wearing in late spring, early autumn and summer. Winter and frost are still not the right time of year to wear these sneakers.

However, despite the grace, elegance, sophistication and careful tailoring, the model also has flaws that can confuse a potential customer.

Firstly, these sneakers should be protected from moisture, since suede subsequently deteriorates if it is not dried well enough, and the shoes begin to smell unpleasant.In this case, neither aromatic sachets, nor washing in a washing machine with concentrates will save the situation - nothing. The sneakers will be ruined once and for all.

Secondly, after several months of active wearing of the Adidas Gazelle OG, white abrasions and general external defects begin to appear on the suede, which cannot be hidden by any specialized means or by re-painting the suede. Of course, this is unlikely to catch the eye of people around, but every month the disadvantage will become more and more pronounced.

Thirdly, the sole of sports shoes is made of a material that is pleasant to the touch, but not wear-resistant. There may be noticeable rubbing of the sole on the sides, on the heel or on the toe. However, this drawback is not so significant as to pay close attention to it: after a long time of wearing, all things tend to lose their presentation, deteriorate.

Simply put, these sneakers deserve the attention of buyers. For a long time, they stood out noticeably in the sports shoes market in this category, and they deservedly received worldwide recognition. They will serve "faithfully" for a large amount of time, now and then bringing aesthetic pleasure to their customer.

Nike Air Huarache

Nike shoes are known for their quality, durability and comfort. The Nike Air Harache line is no exception. She appeared in 2015, but her popularity has not subsided so far.

You should know that the idea of ​​​​creating such sneakers came to the Nike designer quite suddenly, and he thought that it would not hurt to create a kind of human exoskeleton. And so this legendary line turned out. Oddly enough, but people perceived this idea positively, someone even laughs off about it.

“Of course, the Nike Air Huarache is a beautiful, comfortable shoe. But somehow this exoskeleton reminds me of a collaboration between brands such as Converse All Stars and Crocs. However, it still turned out very beautiful and original! ”, - so writes Daria from Novosibirsk, who bought these sneakers.

Nike Air Huarache, Nike Air Huarache Premium and Nike Air Huarache Ultra should be distinguished. The model is the same for all, but the materials of production are completely different. So, for Nike Air Huarache, Nike Air Huarache Premium, all the details are made of leather, rubber, material that is pleasant to the touch.

In turn, the Nike Air Huarache Ultra is widely known as "Light" because of the materials used in its production, which are inherent in running sneakers: a stretchy elastic band together with high-quality, almost non-stretching rubber; mesh material and ventilation holes on the sole.

When buying these sneakers, especially when choosing a size, you should focus on the model name (Ultra\Premium\Air Huarache). As mentioned above, in the Premium and Air Huarache, the rear elastic is made of real, non-stretch rubber.Therefore, you should take 0.5 - 1 size more, since the foot will be pushed forward, discomfort will be created for the toes.

However, in Ultra everything is simpler - you can take either 0.5 sizes larger than your own, or even your own size. This elastic band stretches perfectly, almost without pushing the foot forward. However, there are pitfalls here too: since the Nike Air Huarache Ultra are mostly made of mesh material, they can tear on the toe after long periods of sports, running. Therefore, you should not buy Ultra sneakers for sports, it is better to take Air Huarache or Premium.

What has earned the Nike Air Huarache line worldwide recognition?

First, it is the unusualness of the idea as such. Who else thought of creating an exoskeleton for the human foot?

Secondly, this is a variety of different colors, fewer fakes, like, for example, Adidas Yeezy Boost, Nike Air Force or Vans.

Thirdly, the sneakers of this line are universal. They can be worn with both casual casual style and used for sports.

Fourthly, this is comfort with the right size, as well as excellent cushioning of the foot through its excellent fixation and thick sole. This outsole and rubber band at the back protects the foot from dislocation and other injuries.

Nike Air Huarache can be worn in summer, winter and fall. However, you should be afraid of moisture: shoes are not so easy to dry, as it seems at first glance. Be that as it may, the girl wearing this model will clearly stand out from the rest. Sneakers perfectly complement the image, make it more mysterious, laid-back, light.

• visually reduces the female foot;
• suitable for sports;
• high-quality, neat seams;
• the ability to customize the model in Nike ID (see.Official website of Nike), as well as an abundance of additional colors, the release of which occurs almost every month;
• wear resistance of Nike Air Huarache and Nike Air Huarache Premium models (more on Nike Air Huarache Ultra);
• high quality, laces that do not tear even when washed;
• perfect for everyday casual style;
• interesting exoskeleton idea;

• it is difficult to choose sneakers of the right size, and therefore, it is not worth buying in online stores without trying on;
• Elastic on the back of the Nike Air Huarache and Nike Air Huarache Premium pushes the foot forward, creating discomfort with the wrong shoe size;
• Nike Air Huarache Ultra can tear at the toe during heavy loads, running;
• may lose their original sock shape after some time

Average price: 7500 rubles.

ASICS Gel Lyte III

The Japanese company ASICS has been releasing these legendary sneakers for several years in a row. Despite the fact that there are already releases of ASICS Gel Lyte IV and ASICS Gel Lyte V, the ASICS Gel Lyte III model remains just as popular.

The secret of popularity is that even everyday ASICS sneakers can produce high quality, with excellent shock-absorbing properties. According to voting data in the CIS countries and the Middle East, it was found that ASICS products have one of the best indicators of foot depreciation.

The sole is made using a special technology, thanks to which even walks on rough terrain will be pleasant. The ASICS branded tongue is somewhat reminiscent of shutters that securely protect the legs.This is done so that the tongue on the sneakers does not crawl away when walking or physical activity.

You can also draw a parallel with the Nike Air Max line. If there is compressed air inserted in the sole, then a special shock-absorbing gel is present in the ASICS Gel Lyte. Most models are made of high-quality leather, but there are also models with mesh or suede trim. Special details on the toe, heel and side, as well as a functional arch support, protect the foot from injury.

However, there are also disadvantages. Firstly, the skin can wrinkle, form folds during wearing. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided. Secondly, the sole tends to sag after some time. Again, this cannot be avoided. Thirdly, ASICS Gel Lyte III is not suitable for athletics and running. Suitable for training in the gym, but in general they are bright representatives of casual style sneakers. Fourthly, the branded tongue, design and dimensions of sneakers may seem strange to someone. Fifthly, these sneakers have very poor ventilation properties, since these holes are completely absent. For wearing in the heat is not recommended, the foot already sweats a lot.

Oddly enough, despite the above disadvantages, ASICS Gel Lyte III remains a favorite sneaker model among girls and boys around the world.

• visually reduce the female foot;
• many models are unisex;
• a huge number of official colors;
• leather models almost do not get wet;

• some people think they look bulky.

Average price: 11,000 rubles.

Sneaker review from an expert:

Reebok InstaPump Fury

These extraordinary sneakers from the Adidas Reebok subsidiary actually instantly earned the recognition of girls in the West and in Europe. Some people compare the release of this model to the movie "Back to the Future" as they did with Nike themed sneakers.

An interesting futuristic design, a sole developed according to the latest innovations from Reebok, as well as a huge number of ventilation holes did their job, and the product found a buyer.

Strange as it may seem, but girls prefer to combine Reebok InstaPump Fury with flared jeans. This is a peculiar combination of technologies of the future and style from the past.

The button with the inscription InstaPump, located strictly in the center of the alleged tongue, also attracts attention. Pressing it guarantees the “launch of the flow of air masses” into the sneakers, creating excellent ventilation.

Sneakers are also distinguished by excellent shock-absorbing properties, but it is difficult to call them running shoes. Best of all, they harmonize with everyday casual style.

Many are interested in the question: “Why do we need a rather large hole on the side of the sneaker?”. The answer is simple: it's just a decorative detail. Thus, the image takes on a mysterious, interesting look.

However, there are also disadvantages here.Firstly, Reebok InstaPump is strictly forbidden to wear in the rain, because, thanks to the decorative hole, water flows into the sneakers. Secondly, a futuristic design may seem rude and incomprehensible to some. Thirdly, some people think that sneakers are too bulky and generally look like hooves. But it's not. Maybe in the pictures Reebok sneakers look bulky, but in life everything is completely different: the foot looks harmonious, not aggressive, not defiant.

• intricate, futuristic design;
• innovative outsole development technologies from Reebok;
• function button Insta Pump;
• a huge number of ventilation holes;
• excellent shock-absorbing properties;
• combined with everyday casual style;
• a wide range of official colors;
• no fakes on the market;
• harmonize with various outfits.

• high price;
• can not be worn in wet weather;
• design and dimensions for an amateur;
• not suitable for sports, especially running.

Average price: 12,000 rubles.
