The running shoes are the necessary gears of the runner. We must notice that the cushioning of the running shoes were related with the impact. Two pairs of shoes with different structure were be tested. The SATRA PM142 test was be considered in this test way. All shoes were placed on the shock absorbing ability test instrument (SAATI) to survey. One force plate (sampling rate: 1000Hz) was used to gather maximum reaction force (MRF) and maximum loading rate (MLR). According the procedure, SAATI was adjusted at ten heights (4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 and 13cm) to impact shoes. At each height, the impact was done 10 times repeatedly. One-way ANOVA was used to compare their shock absorbing ability. Results were as follow: 1.The MRF of the two pairs of running shoes were different significantly (p>.05). 2.The occurring time of the MRF of the two pairs shoes were different significantly (p>.05). 3.The working time of the MRF of the two pairs shoes were different significantly (p>.05). 4.The MLR of the two pairs of running shoes were different significantly (p>.05). 5.In high loading, the shoe with airbag is better than the one with shox in shock absorbing ability
