Short summary
Why is sports footwear so important?
All sports footwear elements, which cover our feet during physical activity, are extremely important, not only for the work of the feet themselves. All types of movement that our body performs during various sports start in the feet. So it's worth taking some time to choose the perfect footwear. What elements of footwear should we pay attention to when choosing sports shoes?
-
general construction,
-
sole,
-
outer material,
-
tying/fastening,
-
inner lining,
-
ventilation.
In the overall construction of the shoe, the height of the shoe and the degree of stiffness are worth to be noted. Higher and stiffer shoes mean greater ankle stability, which will work well for trekking shoes, while greater flexibility will be priceless for running shoes. Adequate sole absorbs impact and shock, which reduces the risk of injury to the ankle and knee joints. The material it is made of, which is matched to the ground specific to the particular sport, will provide good friction and help avoid an unpleasant tip-over. The inner lining improves the efficiency of the shoe's ventilation, which in turn results in an overall feeling of comfort.
Running shoes
When it comes to running shoes, weight, type of sole and ventilation will play a key role. If you are wondering which running shoes to choose, in order to select the footwear that best suits your requirements, consider what kind of surface you happen to run on most often. If it is concrete, asphalt or cobblestones, make sure the sole is thicker. It will guarantee you adequate cushioning and stabilization of the joints. If, on the other hand, you run more often on natural, unpaved surfaces, which by definition are softer, opt for a more contoured sole and better "feel".

Football footwear
A good grip is the most important feature of a football boot, the sole is also the main element we should pay attention to here. If you mostly play on natural surfaces, the sole of your shoes should be equipped with specially designed studs. If you're looking for something universal, and you also play football indoors, where the surface is usually made of parquet or rubber, go for comfortable indoor shoes with a reinforced upper that stabilizes the heel. Their sole is abrasion resistant and provides good grip on artificial surfaces.

In addition to cushioning, one of the most important functions fitness shoes should have is adequate foot ventilation and the removal of heat and moisture to the outside. So if you're wondering which fitness shoes to choose, when selecting footwear pay attention not only to the type of sole, but also the materials used and the ventilation system. Gym workouts and fitness sessions are usually demanding and burn a lot of calories, which is associated with intense sweating. It is therefore important that our feet are properly ventilated on an ongoing basis so that we can fully concentrate on our exercises. Perhaps you exercise at home and on this occasion you often ask yourself – what shoes to choose to exercise at home? Despite popular belief, it's not worth giving up specialist sports shoes for fitness just because you're training not at the gym, but at home. Your body works just as hard and your joints are just as prone to injury.

Slides and flip-flops for the swimming pool
Many of you are probably wondering which pool shoes to choose. Slides and flip-flops can actually only partly be talked about in terms of sports footwear. Although they are indispensable for use in various types of swimming pools and facilities, as a rule, we do not wear them on our feet when practicing any sports discipline. They serve mainly hygienic and practical reasons and, after all, it is hard to imagine regular workouts at the pool without your favourite slides or flip-flops. What we should therefore pay most attention to are the colour, shape and contour. Let's not forget that this type of footwear is not only useful at the pool, but is also one of the basic elements of your holiday outfit. It is also useful as lightweight footwear during trips to warm regions, where even wearing sandals seems like an exaggeration due to the temperature. Not sure what to wear this type of footwear with? Flip-flops have a long history, and not everyone knows that they work well as casual or sport shoes.

Trekking shoes
If you are a fan of mountain hiking, at some point of your journey you must have faced a fundamental question: what kind of hiking boots should you choose? This essential piece of equipment for every mountain hiker has a few key features which can make walking for hours not only less tiring, but even more enjoyable! The basic element of any trekking boot is a thick, stiff sole that guarantees adequate friction and grip on natural, uneven ground. The characteristic high construction of the shoe guarantees additional stabilization of the ankle to prevent joint strain. The appropriately impregnated outer material, on the other hand, protects the footwear from getting wet, even in the rain, without blocking the flow of moisture to the outside.
There is still the question of how to size trekking boots. Well, when trying on mountain boots, it's a good idea to wear the socks in which you plan to walk in the mountains. It's a good idea that your trekking boots don't fit too snugly, as you may need to wear an extra pair of socks in rougher weather. A good way to get the right size is to put on a given pair of shoes, stand on a small chair and jump down to the ground. If the toes clearly touch the tip of the shoe, this means we should consider slightly larger shoes. Remember, mountain hiking isn't just about climbing to the top, it's also about going down, and that's when overly fitted trekking shoes can be a problem.
Women's shoes
Women's 4F footwear is a wealth of vivid colour combinations and fashionable designs. Above all, women's sports shoes mean comfort, convenience and sporty functionality for any occasion. Our collection includes slides and flip-flops for the pool and on holiday, high trekking shoes with a thick sole for all-mountain activities, light and breathable running shoes, and many models of everyday footwear. Remember not to underestimate features such as the colour, shape or cut of your footwear. These are the aspects that most often do not directly affect the functionality of the shoes, but have a significant impact on your psychological comfort in using them.

Children's footwear
4F sports shoes are not only for adults, but also for younger athletes. Comfortable sports shoes for school not only mean comfort, but also safety for the child - during sports activities and breaks. If you're a parent and wondering how to choose footwear for your child, consider that depending on the age of your child, footwear can never be a perfect fit. On average, a child's foot grows much faster than an adult's.
Here you will find girls' shoes for every season and every occasion. Featuring striking colours, a variety of models and a combination of functionality and comfort, the shoes are both sporty and casual. If your child needs new shoes for playing football, flip-flops for regular visits to the pool or matching outdoor shoes, you'll probably find them in the 4F children's footwear offer.

Sandals
The coming spring season is a time when it is worth stocking up on breathable footwear suitable for high temperatures - sandals. Men's models are dominated by classic, muted colours, while women's models abound in vivid and expressive shades.
Sandals are universal and practical footwear that will work especially in summer and spring. In many cases, it can replace slides and flip-flops, and also act as footwear worn when swimming in the sea, river or lake. They're lightweight, won't take up much space in your rucksack or suitcase and, once wet, will dry in the sun within a few hours.
