Running Shoes?

Question

I am a runner and a triathlete, but i need to find a good shoe that works. I have been using nike forever but im sick of them. please!!!!!! i need tips from those of you who are runners!!!!!!

Answer 1

Asics is by far the best all purpose running shoe in my opinion. My feet are narrow and my feet don't slide and I haven't had a problem with shin splints since ditching my Nikes.

Answer 2

Nike shoes are pretty good.  I wear them as sneakers.  If you fit into Nikes, you will probably fit into Saucony shoes and Asics as well.  I recommend both of these brands, as they both have a wide variety of shoes for whatever you may like or need.

Hello Lauren,

Running shoes are very important.  I am glad that you are taking the time to do your research.  Please visit http://www.therunningadvisor.com/running... for some great advice on choosing a quality running shoe.  Good luck to you!

Answer 4

The brand of shoe, style, and type all depends on your foot type. Do you have high, low arches? Over or underpronate? Wide feet? Narrow Feet? etc....the best way to find the best running shoe for you is to visit a professional running store. Bring in a pair of old running shoes so that they can examine your old treads. You want to find a place that preferably has a treadmill, so that they can watch you run. I would call ahead and ask if they have someone that works in their shoe department that can do a gait analysis. I go to Luke's Locker or Run On!. Depending on where you live....I went through so many shoes before I decided to finally have someone who knew what they were doing fit me into the right shoes. So, don't waste your time. Get yourself properly fitted.

Answer 5

Look around at a race.  I'm sure you'll see a lot of Asics and Saucony.  I'm partial to Asics, although it's hard to recommend a model without knowing what type of foot you have.  Try some Asics on in a store.  Holabird Sports has great prices on their website.  I'd get a pair for training and a pair for racing.  The Asics DS Trainer is a nice racing shoe.
