Questions & Answers
Question : i think i bought the wrong running shoes..please help, all you experienced runners!?
I am so disappointed in myself. I was hasty, and i bought new running shoes, and they SUCK! I got Asics Gel 2130 (women's) and my feet HURT!!!! I thought they were comfortable at first, but the padding is in all the wrong places. I first ran in them on the road, which i normally don't do, so that's what i thought was causing the foot pain, but then i ran on the treadmill today and they hurt within 10 minutes of running! I am not a very experience runner, but i've been hearing from people that running shoes should not need any breaking in.
I did the "footprint" test and i have normal arches. Is there any other way i can tell what shoes are good for me? I am going to stick to my New Balance 474 Trail shoes that don't cause me any pain at all.
Did I buy the wrong shoes or what? I'm so pissed that i wasted 80 dollars! ahh!
Thanks
Answer:
The breaking in of shoes is a combination of your feet getting used to the shoes and the shoes conforming to your feet. 2130's have a medial support in them and if you're not used to them, it can hurt at first. A normal arched person can go with maybe a more cushioned shoe (2130 is a support shoe) but the medial arch should not hurt that much after a few runs.

Question : training shoe?
tell me if the wave elixir 3 is a good running (training) shoe for a sophomore xc trail runner who likes light weight but supportive shoe that will deliver a fast performance iin my training season before CROSS COUNTRY.
Answer:
You cannot go wrong with Asics shoes. I am a manager of a sports store and you would be amazed with the amount of technology that goes into those shoes... I wont tell it all to you here, but look it up on their web page... its truly amazing!!!
Also New Balance has a new shoe the 805 out that is geared more for sprinters but also has great x-training features... Its probably the lightest x-trainer out there at this point...

Question : Can trail shoes be used for road?
I'm a beginner runner and I need to get shoes. Right now I live(and run) on a dirt road but in a couple months I'm moving to PA for college and will be in town. So if I get trail shoes now can I still use them on road/sidewalk or should I just wait until I get to school and get road shoes?
Thanks.
Answer:
You can use them on the road, but they aren't as useful.
Trail shoes generally have deeper treads, which allow for much better grip in trails.
From the sound of it, you'll do fine with road shoes on the dirt path you live near. I run on trails meant for mountain bikers, meaning there are rocks, pebbles, roots, etc., and i still generally stick with road shoes, because they generally have more cushion and can be less expensive. if the dirt road you're on is in any sort of decent condition, you should be okay with road shoes, and then you'll be able to use them in PA without a problem!
Hope it helps!

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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : How to Ultramarathon and trail runners keep feet dry when crossing water. I know I can't run far with wet feet
I am a marathon runner. I use typical high end running shoes to run on hard pack trails, asphalt, concrete in all weather conditions. I know I can't run a marathon distance with wet feet. I see ultramarathon and trail runners crossing streams of knee deep water, etc. How do they keep feet dry so they can continue the run. I assume they use trail running shoes but I can't imagine that they are waterproof.
Answer:
I've run several ultra-marathons where stream crossings have been part of the course. Yes, your feet get wet. If you're wearing well fitting running shoes and good, moisture-wicking socks, then the majority of the water is shed from the shoe, and your feet, relatively quickly.
After a few hundred yards of running beyond the stream, your feet are only slightly more wet that they would have been from sweat alone. In addition, you've had the opportunity to cool your feet, which is a real joy after having run for 10 hours.
With some experience you will find that you have one or two areas on your feet which are more likely to blister. These areas can be taped prior to the run, to reduce the abrasion of your shoes and socks. A good blister prevention/treatment kit can be purchased through Zombie Runner -- http://www.zombierunner.com/store/product3.html
Whatever you do, don't wear cotton socks.
