Are running shoes really good for running?

Question

Will they make you go faster than basketball shoes.

Answer 1

yes first of all they weigh a lot less and they have more support for all that pounding and they have mesh stuff so your feet can breathe and annddd they are more flexible so your feet aren't all cramped up.

sorry i rambled. ha!

Answer 2

they wont necessarilly make you go faster but it will make it easier for you to run because they wont crowd your ankles, making it easier for you and eventually probably improving your speed... but i would def get running shoes if you are planning on running for any amount of time

Answer 3

If you are running and want to avoid an injury then running shoes are crucial. Basketball shoes don't offer the same kind of support that a runner needs.

Answer 4

i'm pretty sure the shoes don't make you go faster, you determine that yourself. but i think running shoes are made to make your feet more comfortable and flexible while running.

Answer 5

Running shoes with spikes (Track & field shoes) used for the 100m, 200m and 400meter dash will make you faster on a rubber track.  Running shoes will also make you run faster than running in basketball shoes this is because running shoes are way lighter than basket ball shoes.

Answer 6

ya i guess u could say that...they are lighter and more comfortable and have support.
