Questions & Answers

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 : I'm a high mileage runner and need a new stability/very cushioned running shoe. What do you suggest?
I need cushion on my forefoot and the rest of my foot. I run in Nike Equalon 2+ and they are too squishy and flatten out after just 50 miles. I loved the straight Nike Kantara and Nike Equalon+, but they are discontinued. Please help!

Answer:
Well since you know that you need a stability/ very cushioned running shoe, then you probably already know that the skylon is definitely not for you. Its a neutral shoe with medium cushioning. Since you want a shoe with extra cushioning, the following would fall under what I like to call the Cadillac running shoes series: Asics Kayano, Nike Equalon, and the Brooks Infiniti. I highly recommend the Brooks Infiniti. It is definitely the most cushioned stability shoe on the market. And since its a Brooks Shoe, it is guaranteed to last you at least 350 miles before you start to feel the "bounce" diminish. Hope that helps. Oh and I'm a collegiate runner who also works in a running specialty shop, so my suggestions aren't unfounded.

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. Harry

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 : 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 : what is the best running shoes that has extreme CUSHIONING?
i going back to running,i just need the best shoes for me. my knees hurts before and now my heel too. i gained weight,i need to cut weight on my upper body,so my lower body wont have too much pressure i really need extreme cushioning.please help thank you

Answer:
I know how you feel. The most important aspect to me about a running shoe is the cushioning. I have always ran in assics and thought theses were the best, but I have not been impressed with how they have feeling lately. I just bought suconey triumph 4 and love them. They have the most cushion in a running shoe I have ever had. They have EXTREME CUSHIONING! Good luck

Question : Neutral cushioned running shoes?
I'm getting 2 new pairs of shoes to alternate. I have decided on the Asics Cumulus 9 for my first pair and am undecided on my second pair. I'm leaning towards the saucony progrid triumph or the nike air pegasus. I'm open to others though. I have medium to high arches.

Answer:
I have these Adidas shoes and I love them. They support my high arches very well. I run 2-3 miles a day, and my feet never hurt!!!!

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. Ron

Question : Impact protection vs. cushioning in running shoes?
Some shoes claim to have "superior cushioning", others "advanced impact protection." Difference?

Answer:
Marketing! Too bad there are no accepted measures for impact reduction to allow such claims to be quantified.

Question : I need some suggestions on great running shoes with good cushioning for during cross counrty and track?
I have worn my air max 360s for more than a year now for track and I have gotten shin splints the past two years. I need some new shoes with better cushioning. suggestions?

Answer:
Questions about shoes I will never get tired of answering. First I will start off with the trainers because you will be wearing them for the majority of the time. Since you will be running on all types of surfaces (pavement, grass, dirt, rocks, etc) you will need a shoe that can take a beating. The shoe will have to be more light weight but yet it will need stability it will also have to have good cushioning and it will need waffles (bottom of the shoe) made for all types of surfaces. Waffles made for pavement are going to be larger than waffles made for grass and dirt. This is because smaller waffles offer more traction but yet they wear down faster on pavement and concrete. So shoes for pavement and concrete are larger to help with the wear and tear. So the key is finding a shoe that has a mixture of both more specifically the heel of the shoe should have larger waffles. With this being said the Asics Kayano is the best on the market right now. The upper is made of mesh which makes the shoe lighter and more breathable. It has plenty of cushioning and the waffles are perfect for all types of terrain. Next the racing flats. A racing flat will be a lighter shoe. Now you don't need a shoe that has removeable spikes they are for more advanced runners. I didn't start using them until I had been running for about 2 years and I was running sub 12 min in the 2 mile. A racing shoe should also have a little bit of heel (that gives a little more cushioning.) If you go to the eastbay website (link below) you will see a bunch of different choices. I don't really have complaints about any of those shoes. There are only a very few on that page that have spikes in them but it will say. If I had to pick one I would pick the Nike mens waffle racer. Now just because it is mens doesn't mean you can't wear them. All of my racing shoes are mens shoes. I am normally a size 9 in womens but I am an 8 1/2 in mens. good luck with everything
