best running shoes gravel image
Ginger213
I run mostly outside on pavement or dirt/gravel, then occasionally on treadmills. I run about 2 to 3 miles / 6 days a week. Because I run outside should I look at trail shoes or go with a regular running shoe? Also, anyone have any suggestions on good brands to try?
Answer
Well it not only matters what type of ground you run on it is also about what your feet need. First you must find out what your arch type is, wet your foot and then go and walk on pavement or concrete and then if there is a small line between your heel and feet pads that means you have a high arch, if there a slightly larger line you have a low arch and anywhere between there you have a medium arch then go to this link at runnersworld.com to determine your shoe type and what shoe is best for you: http://www.runnersworld.com/cda/shoelabshoefinder/1,7154,s6-240-325-329-0-0-0-0-0,00.html
I hope this helps it did for mean! Happy running!

How do I choose the best athletic shoe?

I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and walk (3.5-4.5 miles) right now (mainly gravel and dirt roads, rain or shine, some early morning icing in the winter), but hope to begin a walk/run program soon.
I have heard cross- training shoes are not good for running, and that running shoes are not recommended for distance walking. Is there one type of shoe that would fit all my needs, or perhaps it would be best to buy two pair of shoes?
Answer
Cross trainers are more versatile -- it's sounds like you're not doing any intense running, so it will work fine for your walks. By the way, why not run? Anyway, if you buy a running shoe, just be knowledgable about your foot strike. Some people are pronators -- they tend to walk on the insides of their feet and others may be supponators -- walking on the outside. Stability shoes are made for pronators. Look at the wear on your current shoes and your foot strike should be evident.
