Answer 1

I really like Nike Air Max 180s. I have tried Nike Shox, Air Max 360, and Asaics before. My mom ran with Asaics, but i definitely prefer Nike to anything else. I like the 180's because they offer lots of suppport, and are comfortable, but they dont feel like youre running with a ton on your foot. You can get them from Online, or most Sports stores and I got mine for $75.

Answer 2

There really is a simple answer, Asics (or maybe another shoe that works for your, but really its Asics)

Buy them at a specialty running store, where determine what kind of foot type you have.

A good pair costs about $100 and will last about 400-450 miles.

When Asics finds a good shoe design that peope like, they don't mess with it. Other brands, eg. Nike, have a problem with leaving a good shoe alone.

I've tried New Balance, Nike, and a few others. It always seams like the teamates who buy Asics at specialty running stores have fewer injuries, because they get a shoe thats right for them.

Answer 3

All the top brands are good (in no order): Asics; New Balance; Saucony, Nike; Reebok; Brooks etc.

How much do they cost, well that depends on the shoe from their range you choose and what your requirements are can range by over $100.

To buy running shoes you need to go to your local runnign specialist shop, look for running shop in the phone directory; ignore chain stores go for small local store, these will tell you what type of shoes you need and will let you try them all on.

No brand is the best because everyones different, different manufacturers will make shoes slightly differently and these suit different people. All my above mentioned brands should see 3-500 miles under usual use; so you need to pick what suits you.

Don't buy shoes on others experience, you need to go to a shop, get fitted for what shoes you need and try on shoes from as many different brands as possible. Pick the pair that fits you best, if you buy what suits someone else it may nt be best for you; incorrect running shoes can cause damage to your feet and lower legs as well as the hassle and expense of having to replace them when you realise they don't suit you.

Answer 4

Like someone already has indicated there is no Best running shoes! That will depend upon the type of runner you are: sprinter, middle or long distance or just a recreational jogger type. Go to a local "specialty" running store and have them recommend what might be best for your foot, running style and objectives. The best are usually, Asics, Brooks, Mizuno and Saucony. Normally Nike is not one of the best unless you're a sprinter or need a fast shoe for your racing purposes.

Answer 5

Asics arms down. Asics when you consider that they take advantage of long lasting shoe and for any variety of foot. I have not ever bought another shoe than Asics and I have not ever had disorders as of but. Nike is a well company, however they appear higher when you consider that they're mainstream and commercialized however Nike footwear furnish little surprise resistance after the primary a hundred and fifty miles. Saucony's are my moment option however Asics have simply labored for me and my complete go nation crew as good.

Answer 6

Adidas, Reebok & New Balance are the best brands providing performance based running shoes. You can get the best of the best running shoes from shoes.com, zappos.com, & onlineshoes.com.

They r the best bcoz these brands design the running shoes with well equipped technologies tat gives outstanding performance as well as comfort. For more information on the best brands of running shoes u can have a look at http://www.shoecapital.com/

Answer 7

It really depends on the type of running you do (sprints v/s distance) and the type of foot your have. Do you know if you over or underpronate? Are you right in the middle? How many miles do you plan to run per week? Do you run on your toes or do you plant your feet flatly?
Each brand has their high points and low points based on the above questions.
Personally, I love New Balance. They are a great type of shoe for what I do in them. They are durable and they breathe well.
I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for...GOOD New Balance shoes cost $100 and sometimes more.
I really suggest that you find a store that specializes in running shoes...not Footlocker, not the Finish Line. Those folks are just there to sell shoes. Find a specialty shop where they care about your feet and your comfort. They will ask tons of questions and have you try on tons of shoes and will help you find the right fit. They will also measure your feet, ask you to run in the shoes, watch your running form and make really good suggestions from there. I refuse to go to a chain store to buy my running shoes. I always go to my specialty store.
Good luck!

Answer 8

Ok this is my personal opinion, but I really like brooks running shoes for my trianing shoes. They are really comfortable and they can take a lot of miles. I were the brooks adrenalines which I can get for about 40 dollars but they will usually cost more like 80. I have been wearing brooks for about two years and they haven't failed me. The first place I would look for them in Eastbay online. They often have really good deals on running shoes.

Answer 9

I believe in Saucony, Asics, New Balance, Mizuno and Brooks. They have at least half century history in developing running shoes. I work for Saucony and they built shoes for Ironman. Our very own local hero Dr. Kua Harn Wei who did 10 ten days of Ironman believes in Saucony. It's a good running shoe with a reasonable price. I participated in long runs myself and I find it's a great running shoes without a heavy price tags as I wear of my shoes every 5 to 6 months.
