Best running shoes for high arches?

I want to run a marathon, but I have high arches and don't want to wear shoes that will hurt me! Any suggestions?

Answer
The Saucony Grid Cohesion NX is a neutral cushioning shoe, good for runners with high arches and those who do not overpronate (feet naturally roll inward). Many consumers give it 5 stars, citing that this shoe is extremely comfortable, with a spacious forefoot that accommodates most widths, though it does come in two widths (for both men and women). Other great features of this running shoe is that it offers good traction, better than average heel cushioning and a breathable upper mesh for cooler feet. Whereas many shoes run $95 and up, this running shoe is more than a budget buy; it is a bargain at almost half that cost.

Here is some links to help you see the prices that these shoes go for:

GOOD running shoes for woman?

Hinda

i do alot of intense running and i need some help finding pairs of sneakers that are good for my feet/legs. any advice? please only if you know what your talking about

Answer
Well to every runner there's a different shoe, i can't tell you what shoe will be best for you, but you can if you go to a running shop, or see a peditrist. i recommend going to a running shop, (like dick's sporting goods, or another place like that) and talking to the specialist there, they can usually tell you a good shoe.
What matters in running are the width and the arch of your foot, some shoes have support for high arches, and less for low, or flat feet, all this will factor into a good shoe. As far a brands, nike asics, newbalance, adidas are all good brands, it just depends on the style you want and the arch of your foot.
good luck

What are some good running shoes for woman?

I have fairly high arches and some foot problems so extra cushioning would be a plus. Also, are those shoes that tone your body work at all? I have heard they put extra strain on your joints.

Answer
Ok...first things first. High arches indicates that you under-pronate meaning you need a cushioning shoe. My suggestions are the Asics 2150 & 2160 model, Asics Nimbus or Kayano. Brooks Adrenaline 10 or Ravenna, Nike Lunarfly and Lunar Glide.

Secondly...sorry to say, no there is absolutely no research to support that Sketchers Shape-Ups or Reebok's Easytone and Runtone shoes do anything in terms of muscle toning or enhance running performance in any way. The theory behind these shoes is that by landing on an unstable surface it sends a signal to the brain to contract more stabilizing muscles along the leg in order to maintain balance. Again, this is the theory and has not been subjected to testing by either shoe company. A woman came into Dick's Sporting Goods where I work as the "Running Specialist" with a broken Cuboid bone, a weight bearing bone in the foot, after exercising in a pair of Reebok Easytones.

There is however scientific studies conducted on the benefits of a more minimalistic approach. This however takes a lot of time and dedication to more to a more barefoot experience and something which I suggest with the warning of taking it slow. If you choose this route I'd suggest trying the Adizerio Sonic by Adidas or the Brooks Green Silence as transition shoes from a heel strike pattern to a forefoot striking pattern. One you can safely land on your forefoot for many miles I'd suggest trying something like Vibram Five Fingers.

Good luck and Happy Running

Where can I get shoes with high arch support under $100?

best running shoes high arches women image

freakygurl

I've worn flat shoes pretty much my whole life, converse, vans, and DC, I know I shouldn't. I want to start running but I know my DC shoes will just cause me pain when I run. I have really high arch's and cannot find running shoes under $100 online. My town only has a Walmart and shoe sensation so I will probably have to buy them online. When searching online most stores do not give the option to choose arch support so how do I know it has it? Are there specific brands that are known for arch support? Will I even find any shoes less than say $75 with these specifications?

Answer
Best comfort shoes for women for under $100-Merrell is far and away the most comfortable shoe you will ever wear on a daily basis.

I walked into my local plant store the other day and was just looking around when I noticed these interesting-looking shoes on one of the helpers. He said they were Merrells. I should have known. I have seen them on orderlies and doctors at the hospital. My internist was wearing a pair of the casual Merrells.

It seems that everyone's wearing these wonderful shoes, and for good reason. They are designed so well to meet the ordinary stresses of walking and standing.

About twenty years ago, almost the same scenario happened with Birkenstock. People all of a sudden had "discovered" them and you saw these shoes everywhere. Likewise, with Rockports and Eccos. So - do these brands just go through fads only to be replaced with newer fads? I don't really think so because I do still see these other brands all the time even though it seems that people might be buying and wearing the "newer" brands exclusively. I know that I bought Rockports for my son when he was a teenager because I knew how tough they were and how comfortable.

I looked into these more popular shoes worn by people who are on their feet a lot and found some details on these good, solid brands which have emphasized comfort for many years.

Rocport, Timberland, Ecco, and Easy Spirit are all time favorites. All of these as well as the currently popular Merrell offer high comfort and value at less than $100. Each brand has similarities: There are more styles which might cost more than $100, but each of these companies offers a tremendous selection of shoes for well under $100, and all have online sales as well. A real bonus is that many do not even charge for shipping, which can save you even more money.
