Im a bit worried about my feet in the long term here.
I wear Nike Free v5.0 for my normal 4 day a week runs. They are usually 3-4 miles at a 8m/m pace. These shoes offer no support or control on the heel. They are the 'barefoot shoe' I have been using this style for about 5 years now.
I wear Nike Shocks for my sprint days since they offer a ton more support then the Frees. I only work on sprints 1 day a week, normally on a track type surface or blacktop.
For the Army I have to wear my boots during most PT, which could be on any type of surface.
Im working hard now to get ready for SFAS and Im a bit concerned about the condition of my feet. Anyone have any info / advice?
3 types of running shoes?
If you aren't having any pain (foot, knee, back, etc) then you are probably ok now. You can always check with a doctor (or better yet a sports medicine specialist) about getting insols that fit your needs as a runner.

Just bought new trail running shoes?
my feet are a size 7 (women's), but when i tried the size 7 running shoe (nike), it felt TOO perfect. so i ended up getting a size 7 1/2. they feel like they'd be more comfortable to run in because my toes aren't pushing up against the front of the shoe. they're not too perfect or too big, but did i make a mistake? should i have stuck with the TOO perfect 7's?

If your toes are butting up against the front of the shoe, then they don't fit correctly. Unfortunately, all manufacturers have different sizing parameters and different molds called "lasts", which is why some shoes may fit better for you at a 6 and a half and some fit better at a 7 and a half.
This is why you should take plenty of time at the store to try out a shoe. Wear them for 15-20 minutes while walking around the store, doing little sprints, and pressing them at different angles to get a feel for where the rough spots are. Also, try tying them in different ways to get the best fit as well.
You'll know soon enough if they're the right fit or not by how your feet are when running or walking in them.
Reply:You should have gone to a regular shoe store and got shoes fitted by a professional. Anytime you are buying shoes for running or jogging you should get fitted at a shoe store for the right TYPE of shoe and the proper size.

Best Running Shoes?
I'm a grade 8 100m sprinter
i couldnt participate in last year's track and field cuz of knee problems so im hopin to bounce back and try and run 13 seconds.
but wat kinda shoes would be best for me%26gt;
Best Running Shoes?
Your probably not gunna like this answer, but no one can pick your shoes for you. I suggest taking all the ones that people said they likes and using those as a list and go shopping for your shoes. This is because everyones feet are different and they all require different things out of there shoes. Racing shoes dont differ qutite as much from training shoes but they do and the only way to find one that YOU like is to go try them on and walk around in them to see if they fit snug, give you enough support (keep in mind, they wont have as much support as your trainer), and that they just feel comfortable. anyway good luck
Reply:The Nike Zoom Powercat is what all the pros wear... and they look pretty dang sweet too!
Reply:new balance sports is my favourite........................i think you will also like it .......................if u are cool %26amp; sexy!
Reply:well i would defenitely get Saucony. i tried nike and they feel good for the first couple of weeks but then they get worn out easily because nike uses cheap material on their running shoes. so i had to buy new shoes (saucony) and they have been the BEST shoes ive ever gotten. they are light and have much support
Reply:do you mean running spikes or trainers
Reply:NEW BALANCE are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:I would say New Balance. They are very nice.

Do you think that some running shoes train faster than others?
I have trained in Asics gel cushioning system for years, and recently received a pair of Nike. Asics have provided great stability and protection through the years and been great shoes especially the original GT-II. These Nike air cushioning system shoes seem to give me more spring and creates faster turnover and I find myself training at a faster pace. Ever heard of runners taking long runs with one brand and fartlek or tempo runs with another brand. Make any sense to anyone? Not talking about racing flats, just standard training shoes about the same weight. Anyone have favorite brands they trade off for different effects? Thanks in advance for your input.

Reply:air maxx are the best
Reply:Yes, cheap ones work better. I have spent hundreds on air max and Nike as well as other brands but the walmart 10$ specials last longer and seem to do more.

hii
yes, if you're feet are hurting it's probably time for new shoes.
FUNNN!
haha, but really.. you're statistically supposed to switch running shoes every 10 months...
hope i helped
Reply:yeah, pretty much. but if the knee/arch pain doesn't go away after ur new pair of shoes is worn in, then u need to talk to a trainer or a doctor, it culd turn out u have something wrong if the pain keeps comin.
Reply:Yes, get new shoes IMMEDIATELY. I have been out 4 weeks because of knee pain that I learned was tendenitis. As stated above, new shoes every 10 months or every 500 miles whichever comes first.
Reply:look into the nike structure traix 10 and 11

Are running shoes for various foot problems a good investment?
I've heard they cause more problems and that a good regular running shoe is best.
Are running shoes for various foot problems a good investment?
If your foot problems are bad enough to need a special shoe, you'd be better suited by just ponying up the extra cash and getting some custom-fit insoles. They'll work far better than any out-of-the-box so-called "specialty" shoes.
Reply:you can go to stores, best are family owned, that specialize in athletics/running. they will watch how you run, decide how you run(ie: you roll your ankles in or out, etc.), and find shoes that have extra support, lighter material, better shape, etc to meet your needs. they always help me, got rid of horrible pain by getting a good shoe. they may cost more that a regular shoe in say, big 5, but they are made better and its worth it, if it helps prevent/heal injuries.

Question about running shoes?
I have a really high arch. I have been running for about 3 weeks. I have been running with Nike Shocks. Since then my knees have been hurting. Does anyone recomend a light weight supportive shoe for someone with a high arch?
Question about running shoes?
Neutral Cushioning Shoes
A Neutral Cushioning shoe (Men's | Women's) is best for runners with a high arch who do not pronate effectively. These shoes do not have medial supports but are more concerned with midsole cushioning. The midsole will provide the extra shock absorption that the lack of pronation is missing. Along with a runner who does not overpronate, Neutral Cushioned shoes (Men's | Women's) also work well for midfoot and forefoot strikers.

this place helps you select your shoes based on your arch..and they allow returns if you are not happy
HOWEVER, I am a marathon runner and I suggest you go to a runner's store..they help you select your shoes...and do it with experience..most of them are runners too...
Reply:Asics are great running sneakers...
Try them.
Reply:New Balance has always been my first choice!
Reply:Asics are great shoes. I prefer them.
Reply:just get insoles
Reply:The 803 model is New Balance best rated running shoes. It is lightweight and soft. There had been a couple of reviews about its comfort especially in long stretches of running. It is also very durable; said to still be in excellent condition even after seeing considerable use. New Balance 803 is an old model though but surviving up to this era only signifies its quality.
Reply:Nike's run tight and are made for the masses, and Nike assumes the masses have narrow feet.
For long distance runs, I loved my Asics Gels. I have heard lots of good things about New Balance too, but haven't tried them out yet.
After years of hockey and inline skating, plus falling off a cliff, my knees aren't what they used to be, so now I ride my mountain bike or rollerblade. Less impact and jarring of running.
Reply:I have high arches too and love Asics Cumulus.
Reply:I had that problem with my trainers, so I went to a running shop and they gave me Nlock new balance trainers - they're a really big improvement, because they give me more support and they're much lighter. So either buy them or ask someone at a proper running shop. Hope this helps, keep the running up
