Currently, the PM2.5 dust problem is becoming increasingly severe. During periods of high pollution, many runners turn to treadmills, while when the air quality improves, they return to outdoor running. Many people often wonder whether running on a treadmill requires specific treadmill running shoes or if outdoor running shoes can be used. Actually, outdoor running shoes can be used on treadmills right away because the movement when running on a treadmill is similar to outdoor running, and running shoes are already designed to support and absorb impact when landing. Runnercart also has shoes to recommend that can be used for running on both treadmills and outdoors in a single pair.
