Question

what's a good running shoe?

Answer 1

New Balance

Answer 2

All depends on you. Some people supinate while other pronate. Shoes will vary on their midsole material and will be more conducive to your running style. You need to have your foot measured at a running shoe store and not at the mall. Typically those guys aren't all that skilled. You should be measured for width as well. Look at your old shoes to see if you're wearing them out on the inside or outside of the heel. Excessive wear on the inside portion of the outsole is found with pronation and the converse is true also. Outside wear on the outsole signals supination.



Types of running materials and your weight will dictate shoe type as well. My best advice is to start at a running shoe store. Try on lots and don't be afraid to return/exchange shoes if they're not feeling right. You can't put a price tag on your feet.

Answer 3

if you ever look at a competitive race, the majority of the runners ride on mizunos or asics. and for a good reason. they make the best racing shoes. go to a reputible running shop and have them record your gaite. try on what's comfortable and what's recommended to correct for any discrepancies. i run mizuno for training because they are lighter than a comprible nike and more responsive...stay away from adidas, thier shoes break down prematurely. i race asics (ds racer) because they are freakin fast and weigh only 6.8 ounces.



nike shox are heavy but bouncy: good for comfort and shopping, but no road feel and respone. i dont recommend even training with them: good for cross training and gym use only. low arches too. poor support.
