And what impressed me most is the unique design and distinct connotation.

Highlights of RUNNING LEAPS Tai Chi Shoes

It had never occurred to me that Taichi shoes could be made as gorgeous as this one did. Actually, it’s no exaggeration to say that almost everything about this type ranks number one. 

Focus on health & comfort

RUNNING LEAPS Tai Chi Shoes are definitely humanized designed for the sake of the wearers’ health and comfort, which come from reliable materials and brilliant structure.
The rubbers selected are one of the new-style materials specially developed for nimble actions. The whole structure and framework of the soles are designed round, allowing free and smooth movements of 360 degrees, which not only benefits your performance but keep away from possible hurt to the body. 

The special arc-shaped grooves guarantee better flexibility and grip. Plus, a sound stability comes from the zigzags which were intended to avoid lateral shift.

Select cowhide

A good quality of professional Tai Chi shoes is closely related to the materials and manufacturing techniques. The whole upper of this type leather shoe is made of full cowhide which is strictly selected. Even the inherent dermal features are obviously shown with clear grains and pores. It closely combined thin yet compact cellulose layers with a slacker transition layer, bettering the strength, flexibility and the deformability of craft.

Patent design

Inside of the upper are cotton meshes with a sound property of sweat-absorption and breathability, unique to RUNNING LEAPS. And the special structure of EVA insoles allows air in and out as well. Playing Taichi usually wears you out as any other sport and it feels so uncomfortable to leave your feet in nearly wet shoes, possibly stuffy and smelly. Nonetheless, with the professional Taichi shoes on, you’re utterly rid of the problem. They all enable the players to fully enjoy the delight of Tai Chi with dry and fresh feet.

        
On the back of the upper, regular double lines are used to make it more robust.
Wear-resistant thermoplastic elastomer sole
        
This tan and half-transparent tread is mostly made of TPR (thermoplastic rubber), also known as imitation ox-tendon sole for its extreme robustness as the ox tendon. It’s probably the best for Taichi shoes with traits of lightness, flexibility, and wear-resistance. Not only dose the special material lighten the body burden and make the comfortable footwear, but the zigzag grooves greatly add to the sole’s slipping-prevention, which allows you to feel free when playing either on marble or glass ground. And most attractively, you could even find a Taichi pattern on the tread, mightily indicating Taichi characters.

Classic pattern of Tai Chi

          
As is known to all, Tai Chi is not only a distinguished part of Chinese martial art, but, in line with one of the most primary philosophies in traditional Chinese culture. The classic Taichi pattern is a circle divided into two parts, which stand for yin and yang, separated yet interdependent, constantly rising and falling with each other to roll the circle. The Taichi circle of white and red color is attached to the side of the upper. The red here instead of the traditional black represents yang and sky while white is yin, means earth or ground. There’s a clear borderline between white and red part, standing for the human race which separate the sky and earth. A red spot is inlayed in the midst of white part, though, and so with the white spot. That means yin and yang are closely linked and co-exist with each other.

The essence

       
It’s no traditional cloth shoe, but a very traditionally-featured kung fu shoe. The RUNNING LEAPS professional Taichi shoes are undoubtedly of the highest cost performance with both traditional and contemporary elements. The stylish design and advanced techniques, along with classic pattern and cultural meaning, perhaps best manifest the true innovation and spirit of Taichi. Absolutely, this type would be the priority for all Taichi lovers.
