What are good running shoes for active teens?

best running shoes for $80 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 (:

Where can I find inexpensive running shoes?

My friend is interested in running track in the NCAA for his Division 3 college, but he can't afford to spend $80-100 on running shoes. He looked into the Nike, Brooks, and New Balance wear testing programs, but they don't allow NCAA athletes to participate. I was wondering whether there's any chance someone knows of other relatively inexpensive options. Thanks.

Answer
Try places like Kohls and JC Penny (these would be best--as a college athlete i've gotten plenty of shoes from here that have lasted me many of miles), maybe marshalls or like a tjmax (they usually have slim pickings though) and you can get good quality shoes for less. Check the clearance racks at places like sports authority and dicks.

Also, if you can shop online you should try eastbay.com they usually have really good deals.
