best running shoes heel strikers image
veronicque
I am trying to buy my husband running shoes but he's not here to tell me if he thinks there comfortable he's in iraq so any suggestions men?
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.

I run a couple miles a day and every shoe I get seems to have the heel deteriorate at the edge, How to prevent?

Should I purchase special shoes because I run on pavement mostly in my neighborhood. I have actually purchased real running shoes as well but they are still showing same signs.
Answer
Short answer, bad running form, do some research.
Longer answer, sounds like you are either over-pronating or supinating and a heel striker. Again, research what those mean and how to improve upon it. I am not an advocate of typical stability/motion control/etc overly padded running shoes, but if you go to an actual running store for a gait analysis, they will probably suggest that you are not wearing the proper shoe.
You might also consider looking into barefoot/minimalist running.
