What type of shoes are good for running on sidewalks?

Question

I have recently joined track and need good running shoes. We run on sidewalks... (I guess it's cement?!) I recently bought "track shoes" with "track spikes" and I want to know if I should keep and wear them or return them. We don't really run anywhere but streets, sidewalks.

Answer 1

well definatly dont run on cement with track spikes in. even if you would practice on a track dont wear your spikes except the meets. (unless you need to get a feel for them.) Spikes are made for racing in not practicing. I recommend buy a pair of training shoes (just running shoes) and use your spikes at the meets.

Answer 2

DO NOT WEAR FLATS DURING PRACTICE!!! Use trainers. The flats are for meets. And the road is better for your legs than the sidewalks.
