I run on pavement around my neighborhood. I try to do 3 miles a day. Maybe something with cushion/durability. What are some good mens running shoes?

Answer
My favorite running shoes are Asics, just as everyone else said, but they are not for everyone. There are different types of shoes for different types of runners. It all depends on how you move your feet when you run: do you pronate (turn your foot inward) or supinate (roll your foot outward)? How heavy are you? How often do you run? Are you prone to injury? These are all things to consider when selecting the appropriate running shoe.
The best thing to do is to go to a nearby running specialty store. A worker there should talk with you and watch you run and can reccomend the right type of shoe for you. Good luck with your running.

What are some running shoes for heavy runners?

I am a heavy runner who supinates and has an extremely high arch. Can anyone suggest a good cushioned running shoe?

Answer
I'm not sure if you have them in your area, but a store called Front Runner (or another one called Fleet Feet) will set you up with the best pair of shoes for your running style. They will watch you run for a little while and then give you a couple different options.

Mizuno has several pairs with support. Go to Mizuno.com and search on men's footwear - click on Support. Those will be what you are looking for. The Inspire is a good looking shoe and is lightweight.

Don't listen to people saying "quit running". It's great that you are being active. Running is the all time best calorie burning workout you can do. DEFINITELY get fitted or your knees will hurt.

What brand of running shoe should i buy?

I am currently using the adidas marathon 10 and they feel good but they are not providing enough cushion. After I finish running my right knee hurts a bit but ive had this problem for a while. I also noticed since my most recent run my left shin has been hurting a bit. Right now I am only running about 3 miles a day since im trying to get back in shape. I think it would be better to get running shoes with better cushion because I am planning on increasing mileage. I was thinking of asics but im not sure as their are different types. which would be the best shoe to buy for long runs

Answer
What ever shoe you want. Shoes are very personal, you can't have someone just tell you what to buy, because what works for them could spell disaster for you.
Go to a really good running store and get fitted for a type of shoe (stability, extra stability or no stability). Then try on different brands and buy the ones you find most comfortable.

You want to find a good shoe for you. Any shoe around $100 is going to have good cushion. You just have to keep track of the milage you put on your shoes and change them around mile 500. Always get new shoes at mile 500, no matter what. Your shoes may be worn out and that's why they don't have the injury prevention they once did.
No one shoe is better for milage. They all run out at mile 500, if you run more you just have to change them out more often.

I recommend that once a runner hits 20+ miles per week, get at least two pairs of shoes and alternate them. When you wear a pair of shoes the cushion gets worn down in them. If you run in them all week they get constantly pound in all week without a time long enough to really allow the cushion to expand back to it's normal size. Most people do their long runs at the end of the week... you can see why wearing a pair of shoes on a long run that have been compressed all week increases injury risk. So if you want to run a lot, get a couple of either the same exact shoe or shoes that have the same stability and alternate them out.

I personally love Asics. I haven't been able to buy any other brand, even though I've tried. They hug my foot perfectly and I've never had a problem with their quality. I just can't find a shoe that fits as perfectly. I really like the Keyano's, Gel Nimbus, and the 2100 Series.

What are good running shoes that will help prevent shin splints?

Cody

Need running shoes that have a lot of cushion.

Answer
Any shoes will do as long as they are new, or relatively new. But, in my opinion the best way to avoid shin splints is to make sure you rest often, and to increase the volume (mileage) and intensity (speed) of your training gradually in order to let your body adapt.
