T/LTA 008-2024 Leisure running shoes

Scope

Main technical content: Consumers wear casual running shoes for running. Although they do not aim to achieve outstanding running performance, they still hope to improve their physical fitness and performance while running, reduce physical injuries caused by improper footwear, and gain a better running satisfaction. The performance requirements of casual running shoes should also correspond to the three gait stages during running, mainly including: (1) Shock absorption performance - In the landing stage, effectively absorb mechanical energy and reduce the impact of ground reaction force on the foot, ankle, and knee. When the foot lands during running, a considerable impact force will be generated. Studies have found that using shoes with poor shock absorption can significantly cause joint injuries after intense exercise; (2) Support stage - In the support stage, ensure the stability of the foot and run more safely; (3) Assist - In the push-off stage, it can provide a better propulsion force and make running more effortless. Therefore, this document sets requirements for the heel cushioning and forefoot rebound of casual running shoes. This document aims to serve all stages of the running shoe production chain and can be used by casual running shoe designers and production departments to improve the consistency of product design and quality of casual running shoes; it can also help consumers choose suitable footwear products.
