women running/tennis shoes?

Suz

i need a good pair that i can wear on my daily jog, but it also needs to work for when i'm playing tennis. they need to be comfy. i don't want anything past 80 dollars. any brand/look is fine, but i love shoes that have a slimer look.

Answer
go to a running shoe store, or just a shoe store, and try on as many pairs of shoes as you can. when looking for a shoe you want these things in order from most to least important; fit, support, comfortable, look good.
lets start with fit: there should be no more then 2 cm room in the front where your toes are and no less then about .75cm. you can tell if it is too tight just by walking around in the shoes.
support: look at the heel in the back, if it is very low then there isn't proper support, making you prone to overuse injuries and tiring you out more easily. also see if there are air holes in the front for breathing room. if there are hardly any then your feet will get all sweaty and shoes will stink.
comfortability: well you will be able to tell if the shoe is comfortable or not.
looking good: if you are stuck in between a few pairs of shoes and can't decide because they meet all of the above criteria, then pick the ones that look the best. like if you have many clothes that are a color you might want to pick a similar shoe color to match.

now remember everyone's feet are different sizes (wide, narrow long short.......) and people all have different opinions on what shoes to buy. that is why you must decide for yourself the shoe that is right for you. after you find the perfect shoe i highly suggest you buy it online on ebay or eastbay, unless that is you are made out of money, and dont care for spending an extra 30-60 dollars. all running shoes will be good for tennis. good luck with buying a shoe and i hope this helps

Running shoes?

Q. I have been jugging a lot lately, and my knees hurt, do you recommend a good brand of running shoes that will make it easier on the knees and ankles?

Answer
Running shoes are designed to absorb shock while you run. You may want to try the Adidas Megabounce + or the Nike Shox.

The pain or discomfort you are currently experiencing may not be solely indicative of a poor quality running shoe, but rather a more serious condition that would require medical attention. I would recommend you consult your physician to help determine the true cause of your discomfort.

Good luck!

what is the difference between running shoes and volleyball shoes?

nastassja

Answer
Running shoes are designed **only** for moving "forward", but volleyball shoes are designed to move in all directions, with much better lateral tracking and support, and can help you change direction within spit of a second.

Volleyball shoes are much lighter, can provide extra protection to you toes. If after two three hours of playing you feel sore in your toes, you know you would need a pair of volleyball shoes.

To make them lighter in weight, most volleyball shoes are made specifically for indoor play. They might have open vent under the arc, the sole, and/or at some other spots (if you can find a pair of volleyball shoes at your local store, remove the padding and you can see through from the bottom). Walking outside would also collect dirt into the out sole and affect tracking.
Make sure you don't wear them outside of the gym.

Have fun playing volleyball.
