Which runnig shoe should I choose ?

Question

I run because I enjoy it and to stay in shape for other sports I play. Usually I ran 1-5 miles. Now I am 17 so style of shoes always has been important to me, probably that's why I am a Nike fan (have Shox Turbo), but they are wearing out so I am
lookin for something new. Once I almost bought Nike Air Max 03, but all those great Asics, NB, etc. shoe reviews kinda talked me out of this idea. From those I prefer Asics, but I never had to deal with them so I dont know which ones would be better for me (they all look similar). another thing I am very worried about is cushioning, shock absorbing because i run mostly on hard surfaces.
Could you please share your opinion on which shoes should I get? are the air max 03 a good choice after all ?
thanks
and please don't suggest to go to the running store or somethin cause where I live we dont have one, and when I am gonna buy the shoes I would do that on the internet(eBay) cause shoes are way cheaper there than in our local stores.

Answer 1

From what you wrote, it sounds like you are mostly interested in running shoes that are fairly decent, but look nice too. As far as Asics shoes are concerned, the two most popular shoes are the Asics GT-2120 and the Asics Cumulus. As you noted, they look a lot alike. I do marathon training, so I really punish my shoes. However, both of them are comfortable, and they both hold up pretty well. If you're okay with the design, I highly recommend either of them.

The Nike Shox and the Nike Air Max shoes are both decent shoes. The main concern that I have heard about them is that the cushion does not last very long in comparison to the Asics I previously mentioned. However, if you like the Nike Shox, you probably should stick with them.

If you want something a little different, the Nike Air Max 03 is a good option as well, although you may have difficulty finding them anymore. The Nike Air Max 180 are similarly priced, they're cool looking, and they are comfortable. You may wish to check them out.

I've never had luck with Nike but if you're happy with them, get another pair. To each his own. I do have asics and love them- they are the GT 2110. Here is a link to describe them. I do all road running and find that they are super comfortable from the get go. I would recommend going up a size from your normal shoe size though- running shoes fit differently. I normally wear a 7.5 and have a size 9 in these. Good luck!

Well it is important that you find a shoe with good arch support. You also want to have a good fit and, depending on you're weight, the softess of the sole need to be suitable. Nike Reax are a good shoe. They are what I run in. Also Nike Shox are pretty good, too, because they absorb shock that is exerted.
Hope this helps you!

Answer 4

The most important thing is for your shoe to fit. I love Saucony running shoes, but they size a little small so I need to get a bigger shoe than I normally wear. Also if you are heavier you need a shoe with more cushioning. I know you want to save money, but for your first pair go to a good running shop and get properly fitted. Then you can get your second pair on the internet.

Answer 5

Look at your foot. If you have a high arch you need cushioning; if you have a low to medium arch you need stability; and if you have a flat foot you need motion control. My feet try to turn in (Pronate) especially if I am running a long run; after four or five miles I can feel my left foot trying to turn in and I have been having knee pain. I got the Adidas Brevard for the extra support and it has good cushioning also. Good luck!!!!

i think my spouse might want to ought to wheel me round in a wheelchair for something else of ever if I %. him then, because I have a horrid bone spur that i can't discover the money for to get bumped off, and the basically way i can stroll is that if I have particular shoes. i might want to desire that in the adventure that they loved me, they could comprehend...
