Question

What is the best brand of running shoes? & Why?

Answer 1

pumas they are very cool looken and very good comfurt i use mine 4 runing the gym and karate so ya they r awsome

Answer 2

Asics (or is it Oasics?)

I have spikes + running shoes from them, and they are great. My feet are weird, and no shoe seems to fit them right. like my heal pops out of most shoes tooo much. But these fit wonderfully. plus they are like a cheap(er) brand for quality shoes. (and they're pretty cute!)

I like Nike too, but they are too expensive for me (im 14....)

Other runners, I need encouragement.. answer this? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 3

Nike. Hands down. Why? They have air which makes you feel lighter, I like them.

Answer 4

I've always found it impossible to find a running shoe that i'm totally satisfied with. However, recently i have purchased the new Asics Gel Kayano 14 and i'm in heaven. I have kind of narrow feet and asics fit perfect in the medium width size. I also have a very high arch and week ankles. I have found that majority of the asic brand running shoes support my high arch and also have added support around the ankles. I have never tried on a pair of Asics without being totally comfortable.

Answer 5

puma hands down they have gortex lining on the inside to help keep cool air in while it is hot out, and they also make their material out of real puma skin, so when in doubt go with the shoes that make you shout... GO PUMA

Answer 6

Prowings from payless only 10.99

Answer 7

brooks are really good because they last and withstand bad conditions and aren't abnormally expensive

Answer 8

just for the record, Nike is not good.

they cause Shin Splints.

but they seem to be doing a good job advertising.

Answer 9

New Balance has always been the running shoe for me because my feet have never felt cramped, sore or pinched no matter how fast i run or how long I walked through the day. Plus, they have the width option so you can get shoes from them regardless if you have wide or narrow feet. With Nike, my feet tend to hurt after some time. this has never happened with New Balance. They may not be as stylish or "hip" looking as Nike, but they are good runners and if a running shoe is what your looking for, then this is the shoe for you.

Plus, the price is worth it because they will last for years!

Answer 10
