best running shoes mizuno image
Jane
I was looking at this Mizuno running shoe chart thing, and the shoes are listed in columns labeled "maximum", "moderate", "performance", and "racing".
I think I know what the "racing" shoes are (flats, right?)
But why are the other shoes grouped as :maximum", "moderate" or "performance"?
Answer
Maximum refers to the amount of control the shoe has on the foot. Example, a flat foot with no arch needs more guidance because the foot will colapse when it hits the ground. Moderate shoes have a little less arch support and more cushioning, a performance shoe is light weight with less control in order to run faster or race. However, many people who need maximum control will race in performance shoes.

What running shoes offer good arch support?

I need a good arch support in my running shoes. What do you recommend that is light yet offers good support? I have been having pain in the arch of my foot for some time, especially when I get out of bed in the morning.
Answer
First of all you need to stretch your calves in the morning when you get up, a couple times during the day, and at night before you go to bed. The reason your arch hurts when you get up in the morning is most probably (like most people) your toes are pointed while you sleep. This causes your plantar fascia to contract for 6-8 hours. So stretching will help keep the PF limber and over time the pain will subside.
As for shoes. In a perfect world I would tell you to go see a podiatrist (who runs) and get fitted for custom orthotics (insoles fit to your feet that you can put in any shoes to give you the support you need). I've had good results with Brooks Trance, Brooks Adrenaline, Mizuno Wave Inspire, and a handful of New Balance shoes (but they only number their models and change the model numbers over time so I've lost track of which ones).
Go to a specialized running store and get fitted. (Not Sports Locker, Finish Line, Hibbits, Dicks, or any store that calls itself a "sporting good store").
