Hi, I need new running shoes. I buy a new pair about every year but I just need some new ones now.


Answer
Good shoes are absolutely key to avoiding injuries while running. Every person's foot is different, and if you pick the wrong shoe for your foot you're going to start seeing ankle, knee, calf, thigh, hip, and shin problems. Everybody runs differently and you need to find a shoe that matches your running style that's why I don't strongly suggest buying Adidas, New Balance, Nike, and especially Sketchers. Because even though the shoes look cool they are made with a one-size-fits-all format and have a very neutral sole, and also, just because a shoe is comfy doesn't mean its good for you. I suggest going with a minimalist shoe, if you don't know what that is picture a pair of track spikes without spikes, these shoes are very light and comply more with your natural running style helping you avoid any more leg injuries.

Try looking here: http://www.brooksrunning.com/mens-pureproject-shoes/mens-runningshoes-pure,default,sc.html

Selecting a good pair of running shoes comes down to pronation. This term simply refers to the degree your foot rotates toward the inside when you run. There are two kinds of runners: One who has too much pronation (whose foot rotates too much while running) and one who has insufficient pronation (whose foot barely rotates inward when running). The best way to get a pair that is right for you is by visiting a shoe store that emphasizes selling running shoes. These stores usually have a knowledgeable staff that will even let you try running around in the shoe. The employees at the stores are usually very helpful and knowledgeable and will help you pick out a shoe that is right for you. Hope that helps! Feel free to message me if you have anymore questions!

What is the best running shoe for an under pronator with high arches?

I am training for a marathon and plan to put a lot of miles on my shoes. I have trouble with my Achilles tendon occasionally, especially if my shoe doesn't have sufficient shock resistance. I also suffer from Plantar Fasciitis, which only bothers me in the morning when I wake up. The pain is less frequent when I have better running shoes. I don't want to spend a fortune but I am willing to spend up to $140. Thanks!

Shoes, with something about foot pronations. (Running Shoes)

Food for thought:

Information about some running shoes and spikes for hardcore runners:

Key for running shoes -

The better the shock absorption is the better the shoe is. Whenever possible, it is best to try them on before a purchase.

An ideal shoe will fit your foot like a slipper. Your running shoes are the key to staying injury free. Knowing how to use them will enhance your speed. You can wear any type of shoe you want for training in. But you should have a second pair of shoes just for racing in.

Oversize Trainers To Improve Your Speed -
The best type of trainer to wear is one that is either a half or full size too large for your feet. Buy a high quality cushion inset sole and place it in the shoe. This gives your feet added shock absorption protection. This could be a big help against Shine Splints. If one foot is longer than the other, buy the trainers based on the longest foot.
Except for hurdlers practicing their hurdle form, use this shoe for all of your running practices, including high speed sections. When you change shoes for races, you will find that your feet feel light and that your race time results are constantly on the speedy end of your speed range.

Shoes For Racing In:
A racing shoe (flats or spikes) that properly fits your foot and used for race purpose only, will enhance your speed. These shoes are normally very light but do not support your feet like trainers. You can make many brands of racing shoes feel very comfortable for use without soaks by placing a thin, soft cushion, flat insole in it. Replace the insoles when they begin to show signs of wear or when they are flat in your impact area. They can be bought in some grocery stores. If you use arch supports, place it in your racing shoe too. If one foot is longer than the other, buy this pair of shoes based on the shortest foot. However, if the toes on the longer foot are knuckling up in the shoe, then the shoes are too short - get a longer pair.

Hurdler shoe issue:
Shoes play a huge part of helping a hurdler be fast, especially in the short distance hurdles. This is not practical, but hurdlers need three pairs of track shoes. They need their proper foot fitting racing spikes, they need a pair of proper fitting running shoes for hurdle work practices only and, they need their oversize comfortable running shoes with extra cushion protection for all other running activities.

Wearing Spikes To Train In:
There are times when using spikes in a training section is very important to the athlete. Sprinters, hurdlers, pole vaulters, javelin throwers; long, triple and, high jumpers should wear their spikes when trying to calibrate their steps and starting block position. Once the measurements have been established with your spikes on, take them off and put on your trainers. Use your trainers to find the location of your established starting points. The order of finding your points should be with spikes first and then with trainers, never the other way around. This is because trainers vary too much in size, shape and, length for the same size foot - change your trainers and you change the deminsion of your foot. For this group of people, knowing how to find your precise starting points with your racing shoes on, assures you a consistent range of high end results for your discipline.

Can the wrong pair of running shoes cause hip pain?

Q. I just got a new pair of running shoes about a month ago, since then I have started getting intense Hip pain after my runs. I am a competitive distance runner and I cant afford to get hurt. I have upped my milage recently also. Also I am now having pain in my foot. Could it be the shoes, or am i just overworking myself?


Answer
The hip pain could be caused by either a change in shoes or too great an increase in mileage, or a combination of the two. Here are some questions for you:

How long have you been running? What is your injury history before you got your new shoes? How are your new shoes different from your old?

There are different types of shoes to match the different bio mechanics of runners. For example, a runner with a low arch will typically get a stiff shoe that has little cushioning, and is built to compensate for over pronation. A runner with a high arch will typically get a shoe that is flexible and well cushioned. Of course, there are shoes for extremes, and a range of shoes between the extremes. Getting a shoe that is wrong for your bio mechanics increases the likelihood of injury.

If you have been running injury free for some time, you should stick with the make and model-line of shoes you are used too. If that line has been discontinued, you should get shoes from a similar model-line.

How old were you old shoes before you replaced them? Going from highly worn shoes to new shoes can increase the chance of injury. Replace shoes before they get too worn. Some runners go through a transition period when they get new shoes: They do a little running in new shoes, and more running in old. They increase the weekly mileage in the new shoes, and decrease weekly mileage in the old.

How big an increase in weekly mileage do you have? Too large an increase can increase the risk of injury. One injury that isn't unusual with a sudden increase is a stress fracture. And, the neck of the femur, and other areas in or near the hip can be affected by this.

To avoid too large in increase, many runners follow "Higdon's Rule:" Find the total weekly mileage for each of the three most recent weeks. Pick the one with the most mileage. Multiply that by 110%. For the current week, do not exceed that result.

Why are my running shoes uncomfortable?

My doctor told me that I have flat feet (over pronator) and I need a running shoe that adjusts for this. I have tried many on, but all of them rub against a bone on my right foot only. It is the bone on the side of my foot (inside facing other foot) about half way between toes and heel. It obviously is from the extra arch that these over pronation shoes are providing. I know that I need stability for my type of feet, but the pain is not going away with the pair I bought. I don't know if I should just take them back and get the most comfortable pair, no matter what type of feet they are for?? Any suggestions, or recommendations for shoe brands appreciated.


Answer
You can not use shoes that hurt your feet.
If store bought corrective shoes do not fit,then you may need custom inserts from a podiatrist. You can buy neutral shoes if the custom inserts will work.
Any change in shoes or inserts will require a period of adjustment, but the doctor will explain that to you.

What type of running shoe would be best?

Hi, I am a 170 pound, 5'5 female who is starting a workout program. I did the wet test and I have normal to high arches in my foot. I suffered a serious ankle injury a year ago when I twisted it pretty badly while on an incline carrying a patient (Im an EMT). So I need something with ankle support, but is lightweight enough for a running shoe.

What do you guys suggest? Right now I am running in hiking boots, which I know cant be right.



Answer
it is not necessarily the brand of shoe you need to worry about (for sizing yes) but you should get a pair of shoes with good padding. this will mean that your shoes will be a little bulky (not like the boots!) but you will gain stability for your under-pronation (too much arch) and for your ankle. Any brand of shoe has multiple high-stability models, just go to your closest athletic shoe store and ask for stability running shoes.
