What are good running shoes for active teens?

best running shoes high arches image

Allison

I am a 13 year old girl that is moderately active. I weigh about 95 LBS. if that makes a difference, I run in 5ks and run about 6-7 miles a week. I started seriously running in August of 2012, and have loved it ever since. I have under pronating arches on my feet (high arches). I also do pointe (ballet) and regular dance so my feet are pretty ugly from that. I also play volleyball and are planning to do track. I run on pavement, but sometimes the 5ks are on trails. I had under armor running shoes, but they are seriously lacking cushion and stability. So, the question is: I need new tennis shoes, and based on the information above do you have any suggestions on running shoes I should get? My price range is about $80-$120, but there is room for increases. I would prefer Asics, but I am open to any brands. Thanks for reading this!!!

Answer
Personally, I dislike Nike shoes since they are kinda expensive and they seem rather flashy. :/
But, like Chloe was saying, Asics, Brooks, and Nike are the better and more popular brands out there. From what I have seen of people participating in Track/Cross Country, this is what they generally wear.

If you can, it helps to go to a store that is able to analyze the shoe that is best for you in the store itself. Some stores have treadmills where they analyze your pronation and from that, they go through their selections and find shoes that are best. I think that this would be the best route, being that they will be able to find what is best for you in store.

Price wise, most shoes are within that price range, with only the extremely nice ones being + $120

Good luck (:

What kind of running shoes should I buy?

Christine

I have pretty bad feet and I'm only in high school. I think I walk on the outside of my foot, which is probably a bad thing...high arches, bunions, and I think bunionettes. Is there a specific kind of running shoe that I should get? My current running shoes (New Balance) make my ankles hurt when I run.

Answer
Asics are great running shoes! I run track and cross country and they were super good shoes. Those are what I bought last year I bought pumas for this year they were like $110 and shoe guy said they were awsomes shoes. The asics were $120. But I dont have any bunyans or stuff like that so maybe you need something else. So talk to a shoe salesman.
