Good shoes for running/working out ?

Question

i have new balances and maybe theyre jsut not the right kind but im not crazy about them. what are some good ones esp for running? not too heavy

Answer 1

i like asics, but it all depends on which ones fit you.

Answer 2

Running shoes vary quite a bit, and different models are designed for different arch structures, mechanics, etc.

You really shouldn't buy based just on brand. For example, there are multiple New Balance models, and you may have purchased the incorrect one for your foot type.

You need to go to a running specialty store, get professionally fitted, and try things on firsthand. And you shouldn't be surprised to find yourself switching brands and models one season to the next.

You haven't even provided information about your specifics (high arch, overpronator, etc.) to give feedback on the specific model shoes you're using, if they're appropriate, if there are others that are more popular these days for those specifics, etc.

Answer 3

go to a running specialty store...

usually places like foot locker n academy and such have staff with no knowlege of the sport.

its important to know that each shoe was built for different types of runners...

some people over pronate when they run or maybe they have pigeon toe or flat foot, maybe high arched..

.  my point is they will better suit u for the shoe u need. instead of spending $ on a shoe that was built for your 100lbs 80mile a week neighbor... u can invest in a shoe that is gonna give u the support u need for your body & running form

Answer 4

Asics

Answer 5

Aasics are the best runners, although Nike make the best cross trainers. New balance are not on the same level performance wise. Good luck with your choice

Answer 6

yeah i use New Balance too....they are the best running shoes.

Answer 7

i have saucony and i have loved them and the support they have :)

Answer 8

I've always loved new balance, but saucony, and mizuno make really nice running shoes as well..  also if your feet sweat a lot you could look into getting a pair of zoot running shoes, a lot of triathletes use them because they let moisture escape through the sole and supposedly you don't need to wear socks with them.  never had any though so...

Answer 9

nike , addidas

Answer 10

Different running shoes work well for different people.  If you are going to be running regularly, it would be worth it to go to a running store and let their folks fit you with a shoe that is going to be right for your foot and stride type.  Believe me, it makes a big difference.
