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!
Reply:New Balance, cheap and very comfy

Running Shoes?
I was wondering if Nike airmax 360%26#039;s could slow your running speed down in short distances. I do track and do the 100 meter dash, would 360%26#039;s improve my speed or slow me down? Are they just made for long distance?
Running Shoes?
Hmmm i dunno soz....so why am i answering??
Umm i need new running shoes too but for longer distances like 1500m or 800m which ok isnt that far but still. Let me know if there are any good shoes. Its your first comment too so it will make you feel happy. Good luck =]

Running shoes?
I%26#039;m a long distance track and xc runner and im looking for a pair of shoes that have good cushioning and won%26#039;t wear out fast. could you tell me which brand is best? i prefer asics, brooks, mizunos, new balance, etc. i currently have new balances, and they%26#039;re nothing special. also, some to prevent shin splints/pain!
Running shoes?
I have been running for 8 years now. Though I am biased towards Nike as a brand, I would recommend you to go to a running-specific store, like Fleet Feet in Carrboro, NC. They can help you find the right shoe because people buy shoes that aren%26#039;t necessarily right for their feet, but more comfortable or fashionable. But after you get the correct shoes or even if you haven%26#039;t, I would go to any major athletics store and ask the sales associates because they are getting paid to know the products they are selling. Good luck!!!

Reply:The brand isn%26#039;t important. Go to your local running store and they should help you find the right shoe for you. Everyone%26#039;s feet are different so having people tell you what brand is the best doesn%26#039;t help you. Most of the time you can try out the shoe and run a little in it too.
Most running shoes last about the same amount, about 500miles is how far they go(so about one season of track or xc). So they one brand doesn%26#039;t last more than any other normally. Hope this helps! :)
Reply:adidas bounce is really good support
it doesnt look like it would but it does
good arch support and doesnt slip around
very good. good luck!
Reply:My coach told me to just stick with the big brands. Also, buy the expensive one since you DO get the your money%26#039;s worth. As a long distance runner I recommend that. And I think asics and adidas have good running shoes.
Anyways, I am a sprinter so I prefer tight and hard shoes that fixes my feet into tiptoe mode. :D
Reply:-well i have diadoras there not really popular at my school but i still have so much rubber on the bottom of my shoe that it will last me at least 2 more years(everyone on my team wont believe it i%26#039;m at practice everyday beating them back to our school and there 50$ shoes are worn out already) ps my shoes only cost 25$
-you could get the special cushion which ranges from 10-30 dollars
-it is actually beter if you find a shoe store that is specifically for running they can look at the botom of your foot and the fit you for the perfect shoe and cushion(they also ask questions like how much you run a day? and etc)
Reply:I would have to say Brooks Adrenaline. I too suffer from shin splints, and when I got those shoes, my shin splints got much better.
Reply:Take your current shoes into a running store, show them to the staff and ask them to fit you for your new pair. They%26#039;ll check the wear on your shoes and watch your stride and pick you out the best pair for your needs.
There%26#039;s no best brand. You%26#039;ve got the right idea with Asics, Mizunos and Brooks. I%26#039;ve had a few pairs of Asics and Mizunos and have had nothing but love for them.

Running shoes??
I just bought a pair of Asics Gel-Frantic and they arecomfortable and lightweight. I need them for cross country and my coach said to get some cross trainers. Would these shoes be ok for cross country?
Running shoes??
they definitely would. remis.
Reply:If possible, go to a good running shoe store and get fitted properly for a running shoe. The Frantic is a neutral cushioned shoe and might be comfortable but it might not be the right type of shoe for you for serious running. It would be best to have someone check it out for you. If it%26#039;s the right type of shoe for you (neutral, cushioned) then you can run in the Frantic. If you%26#039;re told you need medial support, you would be better off getting another shoe for running. You could still use the Frantic for the gym, tho.
%26quot;Cross Trainers%26quot; are not runnning shoes. They would be for the gym.
Reply:Yes, I think they would. I got for comfort and how the shoe feels.
Reply:Cross trainers are for working out in, more than running.
Reply:If you are running cross country than you are running through the woods/off road. The best shoe for this sport is trail shoes. They may be a little heavier but the give your foot and anke more support. The sole is harder to protect the bottom of your foot from rocks and roots.
Cross trainers are for the gym.
Reply:Oh sure if they%26#039;re comfortable, light weight and easy to walk in. I think your coach will except them. Good luck with that!!! :o)
Reply:Yes! My Cross Country coach told us that asics are his preferable choice!

I just bought a pair of Mizuno Wave Inspire 2. If anyone out there has these, or any model of the Inspire line, did they give you shin splints? I ran in them for the first time today and I never get shin splints, they weren%26#039;t bad but just enough to bother me. Do you think this goes away once I break them in or should I return the shoes?
Running shoes?
you cant get shin splints from a shoe just everytime you wear it.
you%26#039;ll be fine. it will go away when you break them in.

I am wondering what is the best brand/type of running shoe out there for someone with a medium arch and slightly wide foot. I have Nike Shox, but they aren%26#039;t very comfortable. I heard that New Balance is really good. Thanks for the advice!! :)

I%26#039;ve owned Nike, Reebok, Puma, New Balance, Adidas..and countless others. In my opinion, Adidas and New Balance are the best.

Reply:New balance 767. i run about 60 miles a week on them and they last a long time and are very comfortable. Another shoe i would recommend would be the saucony grid trigon 4 rides, another great shoe that will feel great on your feet

Reply:Nike is awful, I would dump the shox before you hurt yourself.
New Balance is very good, so is Asics.
check out this website, and go to %26#039;shoe dog%26#039;. It will ask you some questions about your running style, arch, training program, etc. and recommend shoes that meet your needs.

Reply:New balances are awesome for running...their new shoe the NB zip looks like a great shoe for running.
Reply:Get what you think is best for your foot dont worry about what all the others out there say go for what feels best on your foot and yes New Balance is a very good brand.
Reply:Unfortunately, Nike doesn%26#039;t seem to make as comfortable shoes as they used to. I keep trying them on at the NIke training runs, but I can%26#039;t find a comfortable pair.
Most of the time, I wear New Balance and it sounds like that may be a good choice for you too, because they over a variety of widths.
You may want to do some research. All the major running magazines (Runner%26#039;s World, Running Times, etc.,) have reports on running shoes. If you don%26#039;t want to buy the magazine, you can go to: http://www.runnersworld.com and put in a search for shoe reviews. There are shoes for different types of runners: overpronators, under pronators, heavy runners, high mileage, and neutral. It really has become quite a science. It is a good idea to go to a running specialty store to try on shoes. If you live in Southern California, Snail%26#039;s Pace is the one I go to because every one working there is also a runner.
When buying shoes, it is also important to understand that your running shoe size will be larger than your dress shoes and that some running shoes tend to run small so you can%26#039;t assume that the size you think you wear is correct.
