The thing is, running shoes and walking shoes are not the same. Walking shoes can be stiff while running shoes should be flexible. Let's read the difference between running shoes and walking shoes that you should know.

Cushioning

When Runners are running, it put more pressure on their shoes than walkers. So running shoes have more cushioning in the forefoot and heel. On the other hand, a walker does not need that much cushioning on walking shoes. You will find this difference between running shoes and walking shoes.

Heel height and heel flare

When runners run, they strike the ground with different parts of their feet. It is different than a walker. As a result, running shoes are designed in a different way in order to give more stability and flexibility. You will see that running shoes are higher than walking shoes. Not only that, running shoes are more flared than walking shoes and it provides more support.

Motion control
