What is the difference between running shoes and cheer shoes?
Running shoes are for running. And cheerleading shoes are for cheering.





Running shoes have more shocks and arch support for the pushing and pressure you put on your legs.





Cheerleading shoes, have grips for stunting, are normally light (it makes it easier to tumble and jump if you don't have to lug around heavy shoes) and they are also very flexible for bending your feet to push off for tumblinf and jumps. Also, they are especially designed for the spring floor. They bend with it, not fight against it. Cheerleading shoes are also free of dangerous things that you can get your fingers stuck in. I've seen flyers go up in running shoes and break their bases fingers because they get stuck in the side.





There is a big difference. And even though they cost about the same, they don't do the same thing.

Whether you're stunting, jumping, competing, practicing or just standing around your shoes take a lot of abuse and what you put on feet can make a big difference in your comfort and performance. Cheerleading shoes should look good and they should meet the needs of this active sport. You should not only consider Cheerleading shoes part of your uniform, but think of them as part of your Cheerleading equipment. Choosing the right Cheerleading shoe should be a top priority.





Price


As in most things you get what you pay for. The price you pay for a Cheerleading shoe can make a difference in the quality of the shoe. It can not only affect the comfort, but also the durability and upkeep. Cheerleading shoes range in price from approximately $20 to $70 with the average shoes running from $30 - $50. Find a price range that meets your needs and then shop for the best shoe in that range.





• Top Picks in Cheerleading Shoes











Comfort


Nothing can make you more miserable than a pair of uncomfortable shoes. Look for good cushioning, flexibility, lightweight and breathability in your Cheerleading shoes.











Fit/Size


Insure the fit of your Cheerleading shoes. If possible try them on before you purchase them or make sure you can return them if they don't fit properly. Some brands fit differently from others, so if you're use to one brand and are making a change to another, ask the company how the new brand runs.











Features


You'll want a shoe that is as lightweight as possible but still offers the most comfort, support and durability. Look for any added features you need for stunting or tumbling such as finger grips or grooves, flexibiliy, shock absorption, scalloped archways and ankle support. Choose a shoe that meets the needs of your activity. Keep in mind the upkeep of the shoe and if necessary weatherproofing.








Style


Most Cheerleading shoes come in white with added team color insertions. Check the style you're ordering to be sure they meet your needs in style and colors.
