Running shoes?
Please do not continue to use shoes that are broken down or not enough support to exercise in!! You can end up with shin splints and/or torn ligaments by using improper footwear. I do not know what you consider the, obviously high, cost of an arm and a leg. I am quite familiar with the advantages of good (stable and supportive) footwear versus bad or broken down footwear. I do not know if you realize it or not but just the walking motion puts 8x your body weight down on the smallest bones, muscles and ligaments in your body. This means that no matter how healthy of a weight you are; that is an incredible amount of weight! I actually sold sportshoes, what you are referring to as trainers for 11 years, and I watched people hurt themselves, by buying something that would not work for what they were using it for. I also know a lot of other people who spent a bit more money than they planned in the first place and ended up being able to participate in their chosen activity for a much longer period of time. I know many people who are participating in tennis and basketball and even running 5k road races well up into their seventies. I know other people who injured themselves, severely, in their teens and twenties and who had to give up participating in activities that they loved because they did not use footwear which was recommended for them to use. We all live on a budget, or at least the majority of us do, so I understand that it is difficult to spend money on footwear when you do not realize how important that that purchase may be. I even use a good running shoe as an everyday shoe, and have an even better one for walking...I%26#039;m not as lightweight as I could be, so that is more pressure on my poor feet. If you are running on concrete, that is a very difficult surface for your joints and ligaments, so you need to use rugged shoes which are stable and have a lot of cushioning. My best recommendations would be Saucony, New Balance, Asics, and Adidas. If you need a narrower cut shoe, Nike generally runs a bit more narrow. Make sure that you have about a thumbs%26#039; width of room in front of your longest toe when you are standing in the shoe. Most people have one foot larger than the other, so try both on to make sure they are both comfortable. You want the extra room in the toebox because your feet will naturally spread out and foreward with the running motion, and you do not want to be hitting your toes on the stitching or front of the shoe. You should go to a reputable sportshoe store such as Sports Authority or the Finish Line to get measured and properly fitted. Once you have found the shoe or shoes that work for you, keep your eye open for sales at the shoe stores or even places like T.J. Maxx and Marshalls for closeouts and last seasons colors. I generally find a few great pairs a year for about one third of what they would be in a sportshoe store. The pairs that I buy for everyday are in the $65 to $70 range (USA) and for exercise walking or running they will go up into the $80 range for more support and durability. It is much more sensible to spend the money on the good footwear, than doctors visits and painkillers. Make sure you wear socks when you try the shoes on, and when you run for sweat absorbtion and avoidance of blisters. You will probably need to purchase at least two pairs per year, depending on the milage that you are doing. Good luck to you and happy exercising!
Reply:nike shox thats what ive used for 3 years they work well i would suggest u to get some
Reply:Adidas have worked the best for me. They have worked well for me on grass, concrete, and %26quot;track%26quot; (the small, gravelly stuff) surfaces.
Reply:i use new balance and they are pretty good but i get blisters from running long distances but that is normal with many shoes
Reply:new balance are the best in my opinion, but i also really like nike
Reply:Try Nike, the Nike shox brand give great support. Maybe Phat Farm, those are stylish and they are goods supportes on many turfs/concretes.


Hope this helps!
