Best Running shoes?

Ocean · 09-11-2007, 02:59 AM

Right now I've got some Nike Shox. I'm looking for 2 different pairs of shoes. A good long distance shoe and a good shoe for sprinting. Anybody have any favs? Looking for lightness,comfort and durability.

its pretty much upto the individual honestly, cause we all have different foot types.

I have a nice pair of Adidas, thats all I know lol. I had to step on one of those machines at the store to get my footprint.

but after I got them way less pain the next day doing LSD.

should replace them in a few months too.

I've been training with the shox and they're kinda heavy and overall bulky. Good for lifting but not for running. I'm definitely looking into the moire. I went to the nike site and the nike zoom ID looked pretty nice for sprinting. Similar to the moire. Customized a pair and going to order them when I get paid Friday,they hit for $120

but I guess you gotta pay for quality. Still need some LSD shoes. Any more suggestions?

I typed this on another forum,can't be arsed to retype it again;

,Are you a pronator,suppinator or neutral runner?Will you need a support,cushioned or motion control shoe?Do you strike the floor with your heel or forefoot?I ,as someone who weighs in at 16 stone and lands heel 1st will require different shoes from someone who is 8 stone(damn whippet!!) and lands on his forefoot 1st....

Sorry if this is a bit obvious...

This is quite a good site to start with http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/news/article.asp?UAN=481

Normally there will be a running specific shop near you and these will often have a gait analyser that can see how you run(sudden attack of 3 blind mice there?) and can recommend a pair of shoes.Have a look in the running mags for the local shop to you...

And I really hope you didnt know all this already.....
And this also explains quite well about the types of feet/shoes too

Dont be afraid to buy a pair of shoes that are discounted either as running companies often change their colourways and so retailers get left with surplus shoes they need to sell cheaply.Sometimes though its cos the shoe is crap.....

Thanks! I didn't know all of that. I've got to google around for a store I can get that kind of service at. All we have is footlocker and sports authority

hey Fonz,

I seen that machine in Dicks Sporting goods but didnt test it out. Does the machine examine your foot shape and suggest a running sneaker that would best suite you?

I'll have to check that out next time im there
