Looking for new running shoes?

I ususally run three or four times a week, and four or so miles at a time. Sometimes its on a treadmill, sometimes its on roads (both dirt and paved), and I'm looking for a really lightweight shoe with good arches that will last me to at least the end of the summer (for some reason I have a tendency to wear down shoes pretty quickly). I usually look to Adidas when I need shoes, so Adidas brand would be preferable, but it doesnt really matter. Does anybody have any suggestions for a good shoe?

Looking for new running shoes?
Mizuno makes some great lightweight shoes, but the lighter they are, more often than not, the faster they wear out. If you find a pair that you like, buy two and rotate them. 48 hours between use makes your shoes last longer. Take out the insoles after a run to encourage air through the foam and the decompressing. size them to a thumbwidth beyond your toes and buy them at a running store, not a general sports store. Running store staff are specifically trained by the shoe suppliers to know how to fit the shoe right. I go back to the same guy everytime because he just looks at my foot and knows what will fit, even though he makes me run on the treadmill in the store before I buy them. I like mizuno because I have a wide foot, so I don't like Saucony, they generally have narrower fits. you really have to try them all to know what fits well. keep in mind the rules of buying running shoes - new ones when your ankles or knees hurt, new ones after 800+/- kms (500 miles), and newer ones only for longer runs (over 20km). Hope that helps


(I have 4 pairs of good condition mizunos at any given time, always in rotation, 1 stays at work, just in case I want to run home. It's not because I can't help buying shoes, it's that I can make them last so much longer if I give a pair 4-6 days off)
Reply:I just bought some ASICS earlier today, they are my first running shoes ever and I really like them! I haven't even had a chance to break them in yet but they are really comfortable right out of the box!





Even though I'm a total running noob I would recommend ASICS brand shoes. ^_^
