For indoor sports, the athletes use special indoor shoes with an abrasion-resistant, white and smooth sole. The right shoes should have very good cushioning and offer a firm and secure footing.
Classification of the indoor shoes category
Indoor shoes are sports shoes that are only worn indoors and not outdoors.
Reasons for using indoor shoes
There are several reasons for using indoor shoes: the most obvious, of course, is the indoor pollution argument. If sports shoes are worn outdoors, especially in bad weather and wet floors, they quickly become dirty and require great effort to clean.
Dirt and small stones collect in the tread sole. If these shoes are then worn in the hall, not only can the dirt fail, but the stones can damage the expensive hallway floor.
Another equally important reason for using indoor shoes is the different texture of the surface. Of course, if tartan, grass or sand is often practiced outdoors, indoors it is not.
The usually smoother indoor floor has many other properties related to slip resistance and durability. The athlete therefore also needs shoes with a different sole, usually a softer and less profiled one.
To dye
Indoor shoes are often kept in white or light colors for better differentiation. As with boat shoes, the sole in particular is often white to avoid ugly black scratches on the floor in the first place. The hall staff saves so much unnecessary work that it would ultimately only cost them again.
