Is Polyester Good for Running?

Until recently I never thought of another material but cotton for my fitness outfits. To be honest, I never went running neither outside nor at the gym. Being never overweight, I didn’t need to do a lot of cardio, so almost never sweat.

Unfortunately, that changed last year when I started gaining some weight so it was time to hit the treadmill.  For the first time, I saw myself sweating like crazy, and started feeling very uncomfortable wearing my cotton tops.

That’s when I realized that cotton wasn’t such a good idea, and in fact, it was better to choose polyester for running and for activities that require a lot of physical effort.

The reasons why I will explain to you in this article.

Today we are talking about Nike shoes. When it comes to shoes I always have dilemmas in my head, which is best, will they last, will they look good?

I am a very practical person and I don’t really like shopping, and when it comes to shoes I try to be very very careful.

This happens precisely because I don’t like to make the wrong choice and be obliged to buy new shoes and go through the process of searching in the mall or online all over again.

Nike is most likely a part of everybody’s wardrobe at some point in our life. Its shoes are some of the best out there.

Considering that different trainers are used for different activities, no wonder we question ourselves: Are Nike’s running shoes good for walking?

Well, I am here to try to give you that answer!

ASICS vs Nike Running Shoes: Which Brand is Better?

Nike Vs ASICS Running Shoes

When it comes to running shoes the choices are infinite. Different brands offer a huge range of products that meet everybody’s needs.

A running shoe is a very important purchase. Everyone knows that if the shoe is chosen wrongly, the running experience can turn into a nightmare. Trust me, that knee pain is not a walk in the park.

Running shoes should also be fashionable because their use nowadays is not limited only to fitness activity, but they are also worn in everyday life.

For today I chose to compare two of my favorite brands: Nike and Asics.

What not many people know is the fact that these brands are connected somehow during the course of history.

While Nike started as an Onitsuka Tiger shop, ASICS was created after merging Onitsuka Tiger with GTO and JELENK.

I have tried both of them so I speak from my personal experience. While Nike is an American worldwide known brand, Asics is a Japanese trademark that produces some of the best sports garments on the market today.

Let’s jump to the specifics.

5 Best Fabrics For Running Tops: My Favorites

Running is a sport that requires a lot of physical effort and it makes you sweat a lot. I never used to be a big fan of running or any cardio exercises in general, so my interest in running clothes was zero.

Now that unfortunately, I gained some weight, I started considering cardio and realized that I didn’t have adequate clothing.

The T-shirts that I used to wear to exercise at the gym would get completely wet and during winter it resulted to be a huge problem.

This was when the purchase of adequate clothing was more than necessary and if you are in the same situation, I would recommend you take a look at the best materials for you.

Here is a list with 5 of my favorite materials:

Adidas vs Nike Running Shoes: Which Brand is Better?

Adidas vs Nike Running Shoes: Which Brand is Better?

Nike or Adidas? Today’s challenge is to answer this million-dollar question. You know, when I am at the mall or ordering online, I really cannot decide that easily between them, especially if it is the case of buying running shoes.

It is not necessary to talk about the importance and benefits of running shoes. We all use them for a reason, either to go running, training, or to go out.

We should feel lucky that trainers are even more IN now because they look so lovely even when worn with a suit. It has been a while now that the most influential fashion bloggers are “promoting” more and more running shoes.

Yes, everyone wants to be comfortable, but being comfortable and looking cool? This is the dream!

Nike and Adidas offer the design, quality, and comfort in most of their outdoor clothing and specifically in their running shoe collections.

To be honest, I have both of them and they are both very nice. But still, there are some slight differences between them, which I really want to share with you today.
