Terrific looking well made shoes

I bought this for my 12 year schooler kid, they look even better in person, very cool design, because de stripes look like a sun when you see them from the top. Very well finished, quality looking materials and the boy say is very comfy. I'll update later to talk about durabilty.

Rating :

Really good shoes

An extremely comfortable pair of running shoes that are decently priced.

I'm not sure how long these will last though... they look tougher in the pictures than they feel on my feet.

Questions & Answers

Question : Will running in actual running shoes help me go faster and make running easier compared to basketball shoes?
Does running shoes compared to basketball shoes make running easier and make me go faster?

Answer:
they probably feel more comfortable when you are getting up and down the court, but basketball shoes are more supportive, have better grip (running shoes slide around way too much), more protection ( you don't want to risk a serious injury) and offer better side to side and lateral movement while running shoes offer better forward motion. If your basketball shoes are bothering you, you should buy more comfortable basketball shoes that are lightweight and flexible. If you don't like mids or highs that grip your ankle , you should buy lows because they offer better traction and support that ordinary running shoes don't have. Plus they are lighter than mids or high basketball shoes. Hope this helps!

Question : What are the best running shoes that promote forefoot running?
I heard forefoot running is the best and most efficient way to run. I saw these Newton shoes which were $175. Any other good runing shoes?

Answer:
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Forefoot running is how humans are made to run. Period. Your knee is a shock absorber. Your ankle is a shock absorber. We've been babied into thinking that it's ok to heal strike - it's not. Heal striking sends a shockwave through your entire body and is the cause of most running injuries. Secondly, $80 is the minimum MSRP (retail price though you may get them cheaper at outlets) for a good running shoe. Anything under $80 full retail is crap. Running Times did a search a year or two ago of stores like Kohls and Target for a decent off-brand running shoe and found 1 that was just ok. Brooks makes some models, like the Glycerin, that have relatively small amounts of heal lift. Low heal lift makes forefoot running easier.

Question : I want to open a running shoe store. Are there distributors who sell shoes only to retail stores?
I want to open a running shoe store. I will start as an oline retailer with the hope to open a neighborhood store soon. I am looking to buy shoes from 1 company who already has relationships with all of the running shoe stores. What companies do this. I've been searching on-line and cant find anything.

Answer:
contact a store in Jackson, Michigan called Step One. They have been in the exact business you are asking about. I don't have the phone number, but they probably have a web site. They are experts and have been in business for over 25 years.

Question : how to tell the difference between running and walking shoes?
i need someone to tell me the difference between walking shoes and running shoes so i dont get walking shoes,ineed running shoes but i dont know which ines there are because walking and running shoes both look the same to me. P.S. is it trie if any running shoes are below 80$ are they cr a*?

Answer:
Running shoes have more cushion on the bottom of the shoe and have different heel shapes. You can easily find great running shoes for under $80 if you know where to look. try this http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/product/product.jsp?id=ASW1230&prfc=8&sc=CX180009&PartnerName=Froogle or this http://yhst-50307495481249.stores.yahoo.net/mens-asics-gel-gt-2130-running-.html even this http://www.eastbay.com/catalog/productdetail.cfm?model_nbr=76346&sku=7040192&SID=8032&inceptor=1&cm_mmc=SEO-_-Feeds-_-Froogle-_-null

Question : What type of running shoes would you recommend for a heavy person?
I pronate, and the guy at the runner store said that I need stability running shoes. I am also 6'4 220 with a low arch and big feet. What say you? Do i need stability or motion control. My current shoes are Nike Shox and they make my feet hurt very quickly.

Answer:
Try the Brooks Ghost or the Asics Gel Kayano. Both offer lots of cushion and support and are good if you over-pronate Ghost: http://www.finishline.com/store/catalog/product.jsp?productId=prod626580&Ntt=ghost&Ntk=all&isSearch=true&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&Ns=P_SalePrice%7C1&N=0 Kayano: http://www.finishline.com/store/catalog/product.jsp?productId=prod619124&Ntt=kayano&Ntk=all&isSearch=true&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&Ns=P_SalePrice%7C1&N=0

Question : How long should I wear new running shoes before they're broken in enough to run a 5k?
I am running my first 5k in a few weeks and have been training in old running shoes. I want some new ones before the race, but am wondering how long I have to wear them before they're broken in enough. I know it probably depends on the shoe, but am wondering if there is a general rule of thumb.

Answer:
I remember the old days when running shoes needed 10 or 20 miles to loosen up. But nowadays, if the shoe fits, I never get blisters anymore. Also a 5k is pretty short, you'd have a hard time getting blisters anyway unless the shoes were a bad fit. So maybe one or two short runs should be enough.

Question : What can running in shoes that are a little narrow do to the health of my feet?
The width of my feet are in between medium and wide. I just bought running shoes in medium width because they didn't have wides. They're a little tight but not that bad though they could stand to be a little roomier. I was curious to know what wearing shoes that are too narrow could do to my feet while running? Is it bad for my feet? What kind of problems could I run into?

Answer:
Last year my girlfriend had shoes that were to narrow. After a month of wearing them she ended up with a bruised bone in her foot. The shoe was squeezing the bones near her toes together and cause the damage. These were not running shoes just everyday shoes. It took about 3 months to heal. I would suggest getting the size and shape you need. Be Well!!

Question : What's the difference between trail-running shoes and running shoes?
I'm on a tight budget right now and the cheapest quality running shoes I came across were trail-running shoes. I usually run on cement, so would this be a bad investment?

Answer:
They can be heavier, more stable, have more aggressive tread, and usually have less cushioning. Some transition to roads better than others. Some incorporate quality waterproofing. Cement is the hardest surface on which you can run -- you'll often want more cushioning than the average trail shoe provides. When it comes to running shoes, it's more important to find the right shoe(s) for you than just the cheapest shoe in the short-term. If you have to buy other shoes, get injured, etc., what's the cheapest shoe right now will not still be the cheapest shoe in a month or two. I'd try to find the right shoe options for you while ignoring price a bit more, and then spend time shopping around, finding sales or coupons, older models, etc., if you need to.

Question : How to i pick my running shoes and clothes?
How to i pick my running shoes so that that are best for me? I want them to be safe and comfortable. What should i look for? And how do i find good clothes to run in thatt are comfortable and good for running?

Answer:

Question : Can normal running shoes be used for cross country running?
I have a pair of women's nike running shoes and am going to join my school's cross country team in the fall. But I'm not sure if I have to get a pare of spikes for cross country of if I can just use my nike running shoes. Help please?

Answer:
If your Nike's are really light weight then they should be good...i would recommend against spikes...even though they are lightweight and flexable, crosscounty courses are sometimes set on concrete. annnd spikes on concrete is a no no.
