What's real good running shoes?

[Gymgurl]

Mizuno ,asics, saucony (sp)......all good. I prefer Nike because I have a narrow heal. They are all I will run or cycle in....

If you are considering getting into running then you should go to a store that specializes in running shoes.. Most stores check to see if you are an over or under pronator... very important... You should be fitted for the right shoe prior to any running to avoid torn ligaments etc:

Good advice here! I avoided Asics for years because of how ugly they were, and also because the one time I tried a pair on they felt horrible. Get fitted for the right shoe and you wont regret it. I have the Asics Cumulus 9 now and they rule so much I might just wear them to bed tonight.

ERM NO!

If Footlocker is anything like footlocker here, they specialise in FASHION shoes now.

Do an internet search or check the yellow pages for specialist running shops.

Make sure they have a treadmill. The last time I bought running shoes, they actually recorded me running in them on the tread mill and analysed the movement in different pairs.

Needless to say, I ended up with Asics Katanos, and a pair of New Balance.

Most GOOD running shoes are really freaking UGLY, I keep hoping they will make a nice looking pair, or some in black.

You're the only person I've ever hear that complained of New balance.

I've got a pair that are about 5 years old and besides being really dirty, they have little to no wear on them at all.

I hope you are not still running in them. Running shoes have a lifespan, it is usually x number of miles.

I often buy 2-3 pairs/year and rotate them for running.

After a year (depends how much I am running), I don't wear them for that anymore.

They may be comfortable and feel ok, but they would have LONG lost their ability to absorb the impact of running

+1. After a year get new shoes for running and wear the old ones for fashion. ONLY wearing your running shoes to run in. I'm partial to Asics GT-2xxx series, currently 2110.

Eastbay.com bro

I get all my running shoes there..........Asics are the best for running, as well as Mizuno and New Balance

New Balance or Mizuno are very good shoes, fuck Nike..they are overpriced pieces of shit the tear up way too quickly.

Yep, Nike make nice looking shoes but they're no good for a high mileage runner.

Do most of my running cross country through sandy pineapple and tapioca plantations or on jungle trails. Even well made shoes don't last long as the stitching tears up and the gluing comes away with the humidity. Average shoe lifespan is 4 months.

I've just ordered a pair of custom trail running shoes from these guys http://www.herseycustomshoe.com/

They're not cheap or a fashion statement by any stretch of the imagination but I bet they're like wearing silk slippers and they'll last.

If you do any type of long distance running then you need to go to a running shop and be fitted with the proper shoe... It depends on wheter you are an under or over pronator
