The "479" features a colorful mesh & synthetic upper, padded collar, tongue, and insole for comfort, shock absorbing EVA midsole, and a durable and gripping rubber outsole.
Customer Review :
Nice all around running shoe
Everyone's foot is different. My wife always buys Nike because they fit her foot well. But they are too narrow for me. New Balance shoes fit me just right. The 479 has a cozy heal cup while slightly wider in the front. The arch hits just the right place. I use them for both trail and street running. The shoes are light yet offer plenty of support and cushion the impact well.
By the way, Amazon is less expensive than REI and Sports Authority.

Questions & Answers
Question : Question about track shoes and spikes?
I ordered Puma Complete Tomline track shoes and they came with spikes... I was wondering is there a difference with the spikes on and off? I run on a track 4-5miles.... so would these spikes benefit me any or are they more for trail runners or something?
Answer:
spikes help alot on the track even though there is plenty of grip, the spikes are really efficient, and make you go alot faster than you think. I always wear spikes on the track and I use them only in races or really speedy workouts. I run distance too and the spikes are really good for you on the track.
Id be mad if i didnt have spikes

Question : Beginner Runner Advice need?
1. I'm beginner and after running on the concrete in the morning only abt 20 mins (3mins walk,1mins run x 4) and then the whole day is tired, should I reduce running time? I think 20mins is just normal for most of the people. But why do i tired?
2. I ran with my basketball shoe and now I'm thinking to buy running shoes, what's the different between trail running shoe and normal running shoe? I will run on concrete, alphalt, stairs so trail shoes is fit for me?
Answer:
I have been running for 8 years now and would break running down to two things: training and clothing. So, generally speaking, this is what I would recommend for you:
I would strengthen the core: calves, quads, hams, back and abdominal (the "six pack" muscles along with th obleks), chest and arms. But when strengthening these muscles, I would focus more on the muscle endurance not the muscle bulk. For more advice for this, I would consult with a personal trainer. For the running part, I would stay flexible as it helps/contributes to your balance (so do the muscles in your core) but also helps prevent some injuries lik pulled muscles and shin splints. Also, I would try to make up a schedule where you can run for X amount of days and try to have a long run. I would start off slowly, running about 2-3 miles per run for the first week and increase my mileage per week. Make sure you have the following: a good diet, hydration, sleep, a good sense on how to take care of your body, and sleep.
Though I am biased towards Nike as a brand, I would recommend you to go to a running-specific store, like Fleet Feet in Carrboro, NC. They can help you find the right shoe because people buy shoes that aren't necssarily right for their feet, but more comfortable or fashionable. But after you get the correct shoes or even if you haven't, I would go to any major athletics store and ask the sales associates. Clothing is all about the comfort meaning that whatever fits well, feels good as it naturally falls on you, and how it feels and fits while running. Good luck!!!

Question : Tips for flat-footed runner.?
My feet are as flat as...heck, I don't know...something really really flat.
Anyway, I'm also a runner and after a mile or so my feet start hurting which causes me to stop and rest my feet. It hurts my "arch" or lack thereof...the area along the inside of my foot between my forefoot (big toe side/sesamoid bone) and just before my heel.
Is there an insole for my shoe that I can buy to prevent this? Any other suggestions?
At the moment I'm running with Asics GT2120 and also some old pair of Asics I have a sentimental bond with, lol. I stopped running on hard concrete and now I stick to treadmills and trails.
I'm 23 and I love running. I have done it constantly as a healthy release. If I wasn't able to run I'd be doomed to couch-potatodom. I'll never be able to reach the level I'm seeking with this problem...and I'd rather not have to resort to visiting a sports-health clinic.
Any help you can provide is welcomed!
- I already run on my toes. :)
Answer:
The problem is that there can be a lot more to it than how flat (or not flat) your foot is. The first thing to do is to get properly fitted for a running shoe. Any good running store will video tape you running on a treadmill and put you in a shoe with good mechanics for your body. It's important to have good motion control if you are over or under-pronating (see link below). Try this and see if they can film you running in your shoes. If your gait is nice and neutral, then you can try an over the counter insole or arch support.
Just be careful not to over do it while you're trying something new. If you're not addressing the right problem you can seriously injure yourself.
I tend to under pronate, and when I run in shoes without motion control my arches start to kill me after a quarter-mile. At first I thought it was my arches and tried a Dr. Scholl's arch support insole and only made things worse.
Good luck!

Question : Trail Running Shoes Help?
I'm a beginner at competing in trail running races. This year I have been competing in 5k to 15k races to work myself up to longer races in the future.
I purchased a pair of Asics Gel Trail Sensor shoes this year and I find that even though these shoes are very comfortable running the trails but after running the bottom of my feet ache like crazy.
The trails I run are usually single track mountain bike trails that are extremely rocky, steep with numerous roots. FYI - I am neutral prone.
So, if anyone has a line on a great runner that that can take these extreme conditions and make my feet happy and not make me not want to burn my runnners after every race, I would appreciate the info.
Answer:
Unfortunately you need to find that out for your self. I have tried several shoes and ended up with Asics as the best. I started with Reebok's and they were good but wore out to quick I thought and then went to New Balance and even though they were pretty good I got terrible shine splints so I went to the more expensive Asics and wa la.
So I think you may just have to search for the magic shoe your self.
One thing you might want to try though is some sort of insert.
I did buy Reebok for trail running or as a cross trainer but when you lift a pair of Reebok's compared to Asics well as you know asics are amazingly light.
Have you ever given a thought towards maybe you aren't neutral prone? I would make sure of that before I go buying another brand of shoes. Asics are very good shoe.

Question : Can you play tennis in trail runner shoes?
I have Receptor from Ecco. Seems like there's enough ankle support. Does it matter what type of outsole they have? I'm not an expert in choosing the right shoes for tennis so it would be nice if you guys could help me out.
Answer:
I would not recommend running or trail running shoes for tennis. Running shoes are designed for heel to toe motion and the materials of the sole are softer and so increase risk of injury. Tennis shoes have harder soles and even micro-slid on hard surfaces to keep the shoes from catching and causing an injury. Tennis involves pivots off the balls of the feet with much lateral movement and quick side steps. Running shoes including the Ecco lack both the lateral support and larger toe box needed for the quick stopping.
Don't listen to anyone that says recreational players don't need real tennis shoes because a casual player is actually much more likely to be injured (black toe, ankle, achilles, etc. than an experienced player. If you don't have tennis shoes, use a cross training shoe or a shoe built for basketball. Running shoes and sandels should be your last option...

Question : running spikes?
hey im a new high school track and field runner. i wanted to know if spikes really help run better/faster. i currently have nike "running" shoes, but they i believe they are for trail running because they only have bulit in rigids/spikes on the bottom.
Answer:
I run hurdles and sprints and i could not believe the difference between how fast i could run with run with spikes and running without spikes. you can get a pair of spikes for any type of event 100m-400m i recommend sprint spikes they do not have a heel 400m runners may want to use mid distance spikes if that is their shortest race. 400m-800m and possibly 1500m (if it is your longest) i recommend mid distance spikes these have a visible but not large heel on them to keep from bruising of the heel. Maybe 800, 1500m and up definitely long distance these have a a supportive heel on them because you are not generally up on your toes sprinting with the exception of the finish and starts, they may look more like running shoe than a stereotypical spike Cross Country spikes are also distance spikes. If you are a jumper (IE long triple or high) sprinting or mid distance spikes would be the best choice. No matter what event you are doing always have a good pair of running shoes for training. i think yours are fine if they are not protruding out too much to affect your running i think that they are just the tred that Nike uses. if they are hard plastic i would get new ones but or if they are rubber but really long, if not do not worry about them they will do just fine

Question : Serious runners - can you help me with this question about pain?
Hi everyone. I just recently resumed running after a hiatus of about 25 years. Yesterday I ran 5 miles. After 4 miles, the balls of my feet started tingling and were painful. Since my shoes were getting old, I thought they might be the source of my pain. So today I bought new running shoes, high quality and very comfortable. I went out to do 5 miles, and this time, after three miles, I had tingling in the balls of my feet. Help! I want to run again, preferably pain-free.
I run the first mile on asphalt, the next three on a trail (packed dirt), and the last on asphalt again.
All advice appreciated - thanks!
The pain is in the front of my feet, in what I think is called the ball of the feet, the part right before the toes.
My heels are absolutely fine.
Oh, and my weight is fine. I'm 5' 7" and weigh 135. BMI is good. Waist/hip ratio very good. Blood pressure great.
Answer:
I run about 7-8 miles per day for 4 days a week, and I do a long run of more than 10 miles at least once. I hope I qualify as a "serious runner", so that I can answer your question.. :)
If your feet are tingling and the sensation is also painful, the most likely explanation is that your circulation is being cut off somewhere, and this may be the culprit. Chances are, your feet are constricted because your shoes are too tight, either because you got a small size or your shoe laces are too tight. Also, you should keep in mind that when you run long distances, your feet tend to swell quite a bit because the blood vessels need to expand to allow extra blood to get to the muscles in your feet.
Another less likely explanation is Neuromas (inflamed nerve endings in your feet), which usually requires treatment by a specialist.
UPDATE: For a foot neuroma, the tingling sensation is in your toes, which is not consistent with your symptoms. Please ignore my suggestion that that is a possibility. It sounds a lot like you just have shoes that are too tight.

Question : running shoe advice?
I want a new pair of running shoes but I am very particular about syles. I like really unique and cool looking shoes. My question is: ARE TRAIL RUNNER SHOES ABOUT THE SAME AS REGULAR RUNNING SHOES? They are both for running so would it be a bad idea to get trail running shoes for regular running? And I'm buying them online so I can't try them on and test them out.
snvffy: I buy shoes shoes online and don't have any problems.... style is important to me because I'm a designer.... so I'm sorry if you have no eye for style and asthetics.... and I don't appreciate your rudeness.... *prick*
Answer:
Trail running shoes can be used both for street running and trail running. They have basically the same make up as a normal running shoe, they just have a little more tread on the bottom. Sorry that that previous guy was rude...good luck with your search.

Question : What pair of running shoes do you recommend?
I am an avid runner. I try to run 3 - 5 miles every day. I usually run on pavement but sometimes I enjoy a jog on trails and through grass. Let me know what kind of shoes you recommend and let me know if you have a favorite type of shoe. Leave a link if possible.
Answer:
The fit is important, but so is the quality of the shoe. You don't want to have to replace them too often, since great quality shoes cost you more than say, something at Wal Mart.
I recommend Spira shoes. They have titanium springs in the sole (so they will set off metal detectors), and they give you great return when your feet hit the ground.
The Spira Volare has three springs - one at the heel and two at the ball of the foot, so the shoe should respond well to cross country as well as pavement running. (There are other models as well. The Volare just happens to be on sale where I purchase my Spira shoes. Link below.)

Question : Could you help out a beginning runner please?
Hi,
I'm starting a running class for beginners this week. I wanted to know what type of shoes would work best...we will be running outside on tracks sometimes and then on trails as well.
Also, should my running shoes be 1 size larger than my normal shoe size? I've heard that before, so I just wanted to make sure.
Thank you in advance!!
Answer:
You should go to Footlocker or another sports store and have them help you with your running shoes. You don't want your shoes to be too big, so standing striaght up your big toe should almost touch the tip of the shoe. Get something with good shock protection.
But it's best to have your feet checked for the right type of shoe. If you lean outwards when you stand/walk/run, you want a shoe that will compensate for that.
