Well I have been getting into running recently and I would like to continue running but, running on the road is killing my knees. I think it may be my shoes. What kind of shoes would you recommend for road running on harsh pavement?
Answer
Running shoes differ as much as each person's running style differs, so no-one can recommend a running shoe for you without knowing a lot more about your running style, weight, and the type of running that you wish to do.
Get along to a reputable running store, and ask them which shoes would suit you best.
Try on as many pairs as it takes for you to find a pair that you are happy with. Some shoes you'll know straight away, others you may need ot wear for a while.
Don't buy discounted shoes, they are almost certainly going to be old stock, and as the mid sole material that forms the cushioning will deteriorate with age, they may not last you very long.
If you start to run regularly, buy a second pair in a month or two, preferably a different brand to your first pair, and wear then alternately. The overall cost will be the same as wearing out a pair and then replacing them, but you'll be less prone to injuries. The slight difference between different brands will also help strengthen your legs, and again reduce the risk of injury.
One last point, try to do some of your running on grass, trails or other soft surfaces, as these will be gentler on the joints of your legs.

Honestly I have found that nike's supports system is not the greatest. Adida's has GREAT shoes, I jog and hike alot. I have the adidas response trail adiprene shoes. I now will only wear adidas when running. They have great support.When I wore my nike's my knee's would give more when running down hill. The adida's really grip the surface. I also know of a brand called 'brooks' shoes. They are an all activity shoe but they have great soles and have a great reputation. They also have brooks athletic shoes as well..My advice would be adidas or brooks. My grandpa wears them and he is VERY active
