Questions & Answers
Question : What are some running shoes for heavy runners?
I am a heavy runner who supinates and has an extremely high arch. Can anyone suggest a good cushioned running shoe?
Answer:
I'm not sure if you have them in your area, but a store called Front Runner (or another one called Fleet Feet) will set you up with the best pair of shoes for your running style. They will watch you run for a little while and then give you a couple different options.
Mizuno has several pairs with support. Go to Mizuno.com and search on men's footwear - click on Support. Those will be what you are looking for. The Inspire is a good looking shoe and is lightweight.
Don't listen to people saying "quit running". It's great that you are being active. Running is the all time best calorie burning workout you can do. DEFINITELY get fitted or your knees will hurt.

Question : What are good mens running shoes to buy?
I run on pavement around my neighborhood. I try to do 3 miles a day. Maybe something with cushion/durability. What are some good mens running shoes?
Answer:
My favorite running shoes are Asics, just as everyone else said, but they are not for everyone. There are different types of shoes for different types of runners. It all depends on how you move your feet when you run: do you pronate (turn your foot inward) or supinate (roll your foot outward)? How heavy are you? How often do you run? Are you prone to injury? These are all things to consider when selecting the appropriate running shoe.
The best thing to do is to go to a nearby running specialty store. A worker there should talk with you and watch you run and can reccomend the right type of shoe for you. Good luck with your running.

Question : Do running shoes lose their cushioning/stability even if you don't run in them?
I've heard that running shoes lose this cushioning even if they are not used. For example, lets say that i bought two pairs of shoes. I used one while the other remained in the closet brand new in box. Would the latter, that has been sitting in the closet without use for about two months still have the same cushion/stability as it did when i first bought it? I would think so, but i have heard that this is not the case. Any ideas? Preferably from experts in the running, shoe, and/or podiatry field. Thanks!
Answer:
I would think so. I mean, all shoes get worn down and worn out eventually. Right?

Question : What kind of running shoes should i wear if i have bad knees?
my knees are a little sensitive and i wanna see if there are shoes that are reasonably priced and can help cushion the pressure when i run.
Answer:
running is high impact sport so knee problems are common if you run alot.
you could try sofsole, it's a gel insert for your shoes but some people say they are too mushy, but in this case it might be good for you.
Some shoes have built in gel cushions, they help, but usually they are harder then the gel inserts. A tight fitting shoe might also help a lot.

Question : Why is too much cushion in a running shoe bad?
I read somebody saying that Nike Shox sucked because they have too much cushion... but how is that bad in a running shoe.. wouldn't you want a lot of "shock" to absorm the impact? I know I would.. I currently have shinsplints in my left leg, and achilles tendinitis in my right heel.... I think cushion is a might fine idea.. lol
Answer:
You have to have a shoe that is best for you.
Some people need a soft shoe, the problem is if it has too much cushion you do not have as much control.
Meaning that your foot moves around, and if you have ankle problems you are more prone to injury.
Also if you have a foot plant problem you are not going to have the correct that was designed in the shoe if the cushion is too soft.

Question : Best running shoes for cushion support? What to get?
It's a choice between Asics Gel Nimbus or Adidas Supernova Cushion 7s..... whats the best out of these two only?
Thanks!
Answer:
Honestly, I wouldn't listen to people's recommendations on here. Their footstrike is probably different than yours. Their foot shape could even be different. All of these things could effect what is good for you vs good for them. I would go to a running store and have them fit you with shoes. Try both on. And also, be open to possibly getting a different pair of shoes if neither one works out.

Question : What kind of running shoes should I buy?
My ankles are slightly pronated (they curve inwards) and tend to get sore after I exercise. Should I buy cushioned, stabilized, or lightweight, etc. running shoes?
Answer:
I don't know where you live, but where I live in Southern California, their are two shoe shops highly esteemed in my opinon: Fleet Feet, and A Snail's Pace. I suggest looking those stores up online and see if there are any locations near you. Anyways, they do a rigorous examination of your shoe, and then they choose the shoe they think is the best for you, you run around in them for 5-10 minutes, if you like them buy them, if you don't they pick another one. Usually they know which shoe is best for you. You might also want to do some research online and see if any shoes are specifically made for your case, because I know they make shoes with different support levels, and even shoes for flat feet. Also, before you buy them, make sure you run in them for a good 10 minutes around the store, walking up and down the aisle won't tell you whether they will hurt after a while or not. Hope this helps!

Question : Doe a person's body weight effect the lifespan of their running shoes?
They say that a pair of running shoes should last about 4 to 5 months while running 10 to15 miles a week. Do these figures apply to everyone? I mean, my running partner weighs about 110 lbs and is 5'2" while I weigh about 165 lbs and am 5'8".
How could it possible be true that our shoes are good for the same amount of time? The cushioning in my shoes should wear out faster, right?
Answer:
You would think that all things would be equal, but I can tell you from experiance that weight will play a small role in running shoe wear. A typical running shoe will last 400 - 600 miles, But I am 6'3" and weight in at 205lbs, typicall running shoes last 10 - 12weeks, or about 400Km which is only 240 miles.
Ascis in my opinion last longer then any other brand, with adidas a close second. Suconey seems to wear very quickly and I have heard from others the same complaint.

Question : What running shoes should I get?
Puma shoes? Asics? Adidas Microbounce? Nb Zips? Nike shox? Under Armour? I like light-weight, cushioned, comfartable, running shoes. What should i get? Give me an answer and a reason and you could get 10 points.
Answer:
Brooks running shoes all the way. Nike is the longest running craze, but if you actually compared the shoes, they're definitely not the best. But you never know what suits you the best until you try. Shoes run out after 300 miles, so whichever. The only Nike shoe I really loved were the Nike Frees. Running barefoot works different muscles in your feet which compensate for different muscles in your legs.
The Nike Frees are SO comfortable because they're meant to feel like you're not wearing any shoes, and that means they're also really light weight, yet cushioned because they're training shoes at the same time so it evens out the impact. Plus, they're super cool looking.
