confused
I really want good quality running shoes but I'm pretty picky.
Please provide pictures.
I'd like shoes that fit all the following criteria:
-cute
-narrow
-light weight
-not bulky just super compact
Answer
You're setting yourself up for injury and are a target for comission hungry sales weasles that will sell you the most expensive piece of ----- they've got. Ask them why Nike named a woman's shoe, INCUBUS -- after a demonic creature that rapes and kills women. Don't trust the sales weasels unless they're from a Mom and Pop store that relies on return business and all the sales reps are runners.
Go to a shoe store (DSW, Rack Room shoes, Dicks Sporting goods, etc.). Find the clearance section.
Put on a pair of running shoes and run the length of the store. If you feel ANY pressure points and I mean ANY -- on the toes, arch, sides of the feet, heel, ANYWHERE -- that can't be alleviated by adjusting the shoelaces slightly, then go to the next shoe.
Trust your feet -- don't trust the hype.
Once you find one that has a good fit, if its not the color you like at least you know which brand/model and there are usually 2 or 3 colors. I just get the cheapest.

Women's Running shoes!?
Michelle
I need to purchase new running shoes. I currently run 5-7 miles per day mainly on the treadmill. I have narrow feet and VERY high arches. My current pair are Asics to which I added poly sorb insoles, I love them now, but they were really hard to break in, they pushed down on my toes for a long time (no they are not too small, I always get my feet measured and the size has been the same for a long time). So ladies or men who REALLY know about women's running shoes, can anyone recommend a shoe for my foot type and need that will not take forever to break in? I would love to go to a specialty running store, but there is not one in my area.
BTW-I don't care about what is cute or trendy.

2 words: New Balance. They're great running and walking shoes.. They are very light weight and merciless on the balls of your feet... They are really comfortable... I ran track and I would slip them on after I ran and they are a good quality shoe.. pricy but good.
