heavy man running shoes image
sebscola
I am 34, have a slightly bad knee that has yet to be checked and I weigh a bit over 250 lbs. I want a good shoe for cushioning as well as minor stability. I don't do excessive distance, usually less than 3 miles but my knee can act up at times. (it swells for a few days) Not looking for medical advice just shoes please. Thanks.
Answer
Do you have flat feet/fallen arches man? or wide feet? I do, and I am into New Balance, for my money and for the shoe itself, I dont think Adidas or Nike compares.
Nikes tend to be a very narrow shoe.
Go with New Balance

Answer
Lot of factors to consider.
Is he going to actually run in them or is he looking for a fashion statement? His running style & his build. If you have an old pair of his running shoes try to check the bottom for how it is worn - if he used them a lot for walking also this may not show what you need to know. See if he is a heavy heel striker or runs on his toes more, check for if the wear is centered or say running from the rear outer edge to the front inner edge (this will indicate that he pronates, opposite of suppinatation). Basics- majority of shock absorption needs to go where he lands but too much can lead to instability, Different mid-sole designs especially in the transition area from the arch to the heel can help even out suppination/pronation. Heavier people need a firmer mid-sole that is not going to roll on them.
Easiest - bring a pair of his old shoes into a dedicated running/tri store, ask a salesperson to give you some ideas on what you are looking for.
