Answer
Best running shoes in general? There are two- pretty much a tie. Asics and Brooks. They both only run up to about $190( with most around the $80 range) so that's under $300. :) They last the longest, they give the best support, they have the lightest but still supportive and comfortable cushioning, and they have a reliable reputation. Brooks is a company made specifically for running, and Asics has a huge emphasis on running, so they are both very good brands on shoes and running clothes and stuff. I trust them 100%. I've been using them to run competitively for about 7 years. My first two years I tried Nike, Adidas, Puma, New Balance, Saucony, and Mizunos, but they just don't cut it. I recommend Brooks for training use- like regular/everyday running- and Asics for competition; this is just what I personally use them for. (I just like Asics spikes better than Brooks, personally, but they are both good for competition.) I only differentiate them for training and competition because they are both so good that I can't chose one to stick with. Asics training shoes are amazing and so are Brooks- just the spikes Asics make are a little more cushioned-while not too heavy- than Brooks. Honestly, if you go with either brand, you are in good hands. And, your shoes are your only equipment in running, your only contact with the ground(hopefully), so you should make sure you are getting the best-which you've shown by asking. :) And, there are so many models for each of the brands that are specifically designed for different types of runners and different types of feet- like high arches, normal feet, flat feet, etc.. You can tell if you have normal feet(arch wise) if when you walk or stand(barefoot makes it easier to tell) your ankles roll in just slightly- if they roll in a lot and your feet look flat when you're standing on them, then you have flat feet. If your ankles don't roll in at all or just a miniscule amount, you have high arches. And, the shoes will say if they are for a certain type of arch and if they don't then they are made to fit all kinds-but the specific kinds are better for your individual type of arch. And, different styles of running are also supported by both of these brands. So, just choose Asics or Brooks(or both like me) and you'll be glad you did. Good Luck with finding your perfect shoe!

Running shoes?
soccersobc
I just have a few questions about running shoes.
1 Is it really worth blowing a hundred dollars for a pair of running shoes?(I a 14 year old with little cash to spend on such expensive shoes)For example, has anyone bought cheap shoes and ended up being injured because of the shoes?
2 How often should a runner replace his/her shoes?(I usually run about 4 miles five days a week)
3 What is the running shoe for the money?
Answer
I work at a specialty running store in California and im also a competitive runner. I have worked with running shoes for years and know that brands like asics, brooks, new balance, nike, misuno, adidas, sacony and a few others have great long distance running shoes. It all depends on what type of shoe you need (neutral, stability and motion control) and how you want it to feel. If you over pronate (your feet and/or ankle role inward) than you need a shoe with some stability (stability=grey material on the inner arch of the shoe or with mizuno is more radical wave like on the Inspire) to support your foot so it can run neutrally. A neutral shoe has white all around the base and is for people who supinate (roll out while toeing off) or for people who donât over pronate. Motion control is for people who over pronate like crazy or for rare conditions like surgery on the foot.
Each brand caries all three types of shoes; they just feel different for each brand.
Asics and Brooks are two brands that have a happy medium feel where most of the population will buy a shoe from them so itâs safe to by from them and if you donât like them; try New Balance.
Fit:
This is a list of what foot type usually works with each brand (this is not always right, but it is most of the time).
Adidas: high arch
Sacony: high arch
Nike: normal to high arch
Asics: normal to high arch
Brooks: normal to low arch
Mizunno: normal to low arch
New Balance: low arch
Price:
When you buy a running shoe the price should be about $85 and up for a new style. If you go to an all-a-round sports store, the shoe should cost $65 and up unless youâre buying an Asics 2110 for $45. The shoes around $85 dollars and up usually are lighter and last longer. A good place to buy shoes is the running center or www.runningcenters.com
(all online orders are 10% off)
Shoe life:
Depending on your weight and how you run, the shoe should last about 400-500 miles until you need a new pair. Running on worn-out shoes is one of the best ways to get injured. I have see shoes last about 900, but donât chance it.
I have a high arch and a couple shoes work for me.
I currently run in asics (DS trainers), nike (Vomero), New Balance (1061) with a DS trainer liner. I race in adidas (adizero). I still want a pair of the new brooks (Adrenalin) and I know they work for me and feel good.
I use different shoes for different workouts; thatâs why I have so many (I also work at a running store so get a BIG discount and some are free for testing^_^).
