Strut Your Style in These Women's Athletic Shoes

Women's Athletic Sneakers

Women's athletic apparel, but most of all, womens sneakers, have undergone huge renovations since the early 1900s. The first mens running shoes date back to about 1860, but the first women's shoes didnt appear until nearly 50 years later. Ironically, these early women's sneakers actually looked more like a dress shoe with a heel than anything youd slip on to play sports. With a stacked heel and leather upper, these shoes could easily be paired with a dress for church. Apparently, some worried that women might lose their femininity by playing mens sports.

Eventually, the rubber-soled black and white saddle shoe would replace these sport heels. This shoe would be the main athletic shoe available for women well into the 1960s. Luckily, most have realized that women's sports and therefore womens sporting apparel is not a threat to ones femininity. Womens athletic sneakers are thus much more comfortable with all the technologies you will find on mens athletic shoes.

When did women's athletic

shoes similar to todays come out?

Adi Dassler (adidas) would give his first running shoe prototype to Olympic contestants in the 1920s. Lina Radke, who ran the 800-meter dash in his shoes, won a Gold Medal at the 1928 Amsterdam games. Since that time, a different focus was put on womens tennis shoes. First, shoes began to be made with features that would benefit specific sports. For example, basketball sneakers would feature soles that helped with gripping the court and quick transitions. Additionally, sporting and workout shoes for women would become more comfortable and trendier. It would be the 1970s before sneakers would become more than just functional, as they started being recognized as fashion accessories.
