running shoe advice?

Question

I want a new pair of running shoes but I am very particular about syles. I like really unique and cool looking shoes. My question is: ARE TRAIL RUNNER SHOES ABOUT THE SAME AS REGULAR RUNNING SHOES? They are both for running so would it be a bad idea to get trail running shoes for regular running? And I'm buying them online so I can't try them on and test them out.

snvffy: I buy shoes shoes online and don't have any problems.... style is important to me because I'm a designer.... so I'm sorry if you have no eye for style and asthetics.... and I don't appreciate your rudeness.... *prick*

Answer 1

Trail running shoes can be used both for street running and trail running. They have basically the same make up as a normal running shoe, they just have a little more tread on the bottom. Sorry that that previous guy was rude...good luck with your search.

Answer 2

You're a really bad experience just waiting to happen. You've just stated for the world that you intend to make the worst decisions (in every category) regarding purchase of running shoes.

1. but I am very particular about syles.
2. ARE TRAIL RUNNER SHOES ABOUT THE SAME AS REGULAR RUNNING SHOES?
3. would it be a bad idea to get trail running shoes for regular running?
4. I'm buying them online so I can't try them on

MY ADVICE:

1. Forget style and color
2. Trail shoes are not the same
3. YES
4. DON'T


Get to a good running store and ask for a runner to assist you. Follow his or her advice.

Good Luck
