What are the most comfortable running shoes?

Answer 1

I think the most comfortable I've ever worn are the Nike Free. However, this does not mean they are the best to wear running. My regular running shoe is Mizuno Wave Inspire and I wear the Nike Frees mostly for walking.

Answer 2

That depends on your feet, your style of running, and so forth. Go to a good, high-end athletic shoe store, and ask them to show you some different shoes. Take your old shoes with you - that can show the salesperson some information about how your shoes wear, and give them an idea of what you need. For example, I wear out my shoes on the outside edges faster than the inside edge, because my feet roll to the outside more. So my current gym shoes have harder material along the outside.

You'll pay more for these shoes than you will by getting them at K-mart, but they will support your feet better, and protect them more, and you'll be happier with them.

Answer 3

It depends on your foot. High insteps and high arches are my biggest challenge. I have to go the the sports store and try them on. Pronation and supination are major considerations that any running shoe salesman should know about.

I didn't know the reason my lower leg muscles would burn was due to my high arches. I wasn't wearing any arch supports in my shoes. Now I know the best shoes for me are the ones that address my foot structure.

I do prefer the lightest weight shoes though.

Answer 4

My favorite are adidas but it depends on your foot!
