please give as much detail as possible.


Answer
Running shoes?

It's your running form that matters when it comes to running efficiency. For someone with a biomechanically perfect running form, shoes only need to protect the feet from broken glass and gravel.

But since those people are few and far between...running shoes are designed for people with 6 things in mind...
Is their footstrike, neutral, heel strike or forefoot strike -- and cushioning is provided in the appropriate place(s).
Does the person pronate, supinate or neutral with regard to arch stability. Again, cushioning is provided in the appropriate places.

So for example you could have a shoe designed for someone with a heel strike that supinates or pronates. (turns foot inside or outside when they run).

Running shoes are designed for about 6 types of runners with regard to foot striking and form. Then there's weight and terrain specific shoes --- e.g. ultra light racers and racing spikes or trail running shoes.

does anyone know if the nike shox turbo v+ is a good shoe because I'm buying new and I like that pair.


Answer
I would not reccomend the shox for running. It's more cosmetics than anything. If you want a good nike running shoe, first you need to figure out if you're foot strikes and pronates outward, inward, or neutral when you run. There are specific shoes for each of these types, I know the Nike Pegasus is for neutral, can't remember the others off the top of my head. But the Nike shoes that are good for running are the Elites, Pegasus, and Structure Triax. My foot is designed for the Structure Triax, and it's a great shoe that a lot of elite runners use.

If possible go to an actual Running Store, and if they are a decent store they will watch you run outside the store, then recomend the shoe for you.

Don't go with the shox though, they are not a good running shoe.
