Good shoes for the price

I use them in vollyball. I had Gel-1110s before which were better than these in weight and cushioning but I couldnt find that model so I tried these.

Summary of my experience:
Comfortable
Good heel support
Good grip
very flexible
Reasonably light weight.

Asics 1120

This is my 4th pair of Asics. I haven't found a better pair of overall running shoes.

Rating :

Cheaper than the 2000 series, almost as nice

I use my 21xx shoes for running and these for general stomping around and walking. They've held up well and fit the mechanics of my stride.

Questions & Answers

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.

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 : 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 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 : 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 : 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 : 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.

Question : What are the best running sneakers for cushioning and stability? I am 225lbs. I am looking to pay 50$ or so?
I have heard alot about New Balance and Asics Gel. The sporting goods store has New Balance Trail 474 on sale for $40. It seems to me that trail shoes would be more durable. I do live in Buffalo NY and I run on the streets. Any suggestions Good runners of Yahoo.

Answer:
First, you need to know what kind of shoe you need? It's based on your foot ... if you have flat or low arches, you may need a "motion control" shoe ... if you have very high arches and narrow feet, a "cushion" shoe may be for you (all shoes are 'cushioning shoes' so don't let the term confuse you, but a shoe called a "cushion" shoe means it offers very little "stability" or "motion control") ... at your size, you may need a beefy shoe like the Brooks Beast or Addiction, if you have low arches ... .talk to a real running store, not some general sports store. And sorry, $50 is kind of unrealistic ... good running shoes will run you $80-$100 a pair, running injury free is worth it. Trail shoes, btw, are not the way to go, they generally have a very solid footplate and toe box to protect against rocks and roots, but they offer little support, since they are meant for unstable terrain, not pavement. If you run on pavement, steer clear of trail shoes.

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 : what is the best brand of running shoes?
i run cross country and do marathons i''ve had asics and nike shoes before and i wasn't a big fan of either of them. any trail or cross country runners have a suggestion?

Answer:
I have run 5 marathons and one Ironman in New Balance. They were great. I have a wider foot and they fit me the best.
