I usually just use regular running shoes for cross country but as my last year in high school I would like to try using real cross country shoes. I don't want ones with spikes though. Our cross country team doesn't use those.

Any answers are appreciated!

Thanks!

  1. It depends on how serious you are about running, and how often you run.  When you are buying your first serious pair, I always recommend going to a good running store so they can take a look at your feet.  They can tell what kind of arches you have, whether you pronate when you run, and where you land on your foot.  All of these factors affect what kind of shoe you should get.  If you get the wrong one, it can lead to unnecessary pain and discomfort.  You can't just go somewhere and say "I want Asics".  Asics makes a whole line of shoes for all different types of feet.  It's like going to a bookstore and saying that you want a book.

    Once you find a model that works for you, then you can go to an outlet store.  But if you are serious about continuing to run, take the time to go to a store that specializes in running.  You will be happy you did!

    PS,  here's a good link to a Runners' World site that will help you to see what kind of shoe will best fit your foot.  They also have a lot of reviews from other users, so you can see what might work best for you;
