I run in them...They usually just have a bit more traction. I actually love them in the winter, because they have less chance of all the snow and water getting in and soaking my feet.

I bought a pair of nikes for 60 bucks.  Great shoes to play basketball in. No need to pay over hundred dollars.  Just a waste of money.  You can buy good basketball shoes in the 40-70 dollar range

This sneaker is said to be good: New Balance 833\n\n"They have a generously round toe box, no elements to bother a bunion, and come in widths. They are very flexible and lightweight, yet with plenty of cushioning to see you through distances from 10K through the marathon."\n\nFor treatments here are some ideas: SILOPAD™ GEL BUNION\n-http://www.supportsusa.com/ankle/silipos/bunion.htm\n\nMost bunions can be treated at home. In some cases surgery is considered.\n\nNonsurgical treatment\n-Nonsurgical treatment usually is used to decrease pressure on the big toe and relieve pain. Treatment includes:\n\n* Wearing roomy shoes that have wide and deep toe boxes (the area that surrounds the toes), low or flat heels, and good arch supports. Avoid tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes that put pressure on the big toe joint. For more information, see:\n\nFinding the right footwear for your foot problem.\n* Using bunion pads, arch supports, or custom-made supports (orthotics) placed just behind the big toe joint on the bottom of your foot. They can help redistribute your weight while walking and take pressure off your big toe. Ask your health professional to help you choose the right kind of pads.\n\n* Using moleskin or felt patches over or around pressure areas to protect the bunion from being rubbed by your shoes.\n\n* Taking nonprescription medication to relieve pain and reduce swelling. Examples include acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or aspirin. If you have other health conditions, such as diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, or gastrointestinal problems such as gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), talk to your health professional about which pain reliever is best for you.\n\n* Using ice to relieve pain and reduce swelling. Apply ice to the joint for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, once or twice an hour as needed. Elevate your foot so that your toe is higher than your heart.\n\nIf your bunions are severe, your health professional may prescribe medication to reduce pain and inflammation, such as a corticosteroid injection.\n\nSurgical treatment\n-If nonsurgical treatment has failed to relieve toe pain and you aren't able to do normal daily activities, or if you have a severe bone deformity, you may want to consider surgical treatment. Bunion surgery is done to help restore normal alignment to the toe joint and relieve pain. For information on making the decision about surgery, see:\n\nShould I have surgery for bunions? \n-There are different types of bunion surgery—the best type of surgery for you depends on how severe your bunion is and your surgeon's experience. Look for a surgeon who does many different types of bunion surgery on a regular basis. Each bunion is different, and surgery needs to be tailored to each case.\n\nPrevent another bunion. Good luck!

Excellent!  There's absolutely no reason you can't do this.\n\nGet to a real running store, and have them fit you.  Some of the more sophisticated shops have a tool that will image your feet and strike patterns.  At the very least, they will watch you run.\n\nThe big key sometime hinges on stability control, pronation and supination.  Without knowing exactly what you do, it's pretty useless to recommend a specific shoe.\n\nHowever, I have excellent luck with New Balance shoes.  They seem to offer widths, and a wide range of products with and without stability control.  The Brooks Beast is a good shoe, if it fits you.\n\nIf you are running now, bring your old shoes with you.  This can be very helpful.  Do NOT go to a big retail chain.  It's rare to find a tech who knows anything about running shoes.\n\nThe salesperson will probably recommend going up one-half to a full size.  At high mileage your feet swell significantly.  It's more of a concern for a marathon, so a half size should do it.\n\nGood luck!

It's not the shoe that is important, it's the ipod sensor that is the important part. It is very accurate and I have only heard a few complaints. Mostly from people who don't like the some of the softwear. \n\nThere is no need to go buy new nike shoes if you already have a perfectly good pair of adidas or something else.  You can get just the ipod sensor and softwear that has a clip on the sensor that you attach to your laces and off you go.

I never noticed that until I saw my footprints in the snow.  Shoes with supports that are on the outside will help to push the direction inward.  Only wear them for a few hours a day until you get used to them, you don't want blisters.  You can put insoles in your shoes too, just take them out after a few hours and put them in the next day. Your feet aren't used to the new direction, yet.

Try to find Asics 2100s. They have a newer model out, the 2200s I think but, the 2100s are better. See if you can find those somewhere. They are good because they have a good arch support, the mid-foot hugs, and there is room in the toe box. This is a mid-stability shoe designed for mild overpronators, which most people are. This is the best shoe on the market for high arches. I've had this shoe a few times. Currently I'm using the Adidas Supernova classic. It is a neutral shoe without much arch support, but I love the way it hugs my foot. Good luck.

Good Question\n\nThe bottom of tennis shoes, for court use only, have great bottoms for lateral movement. Whereas plain sneakers might not have as good as support. Also, you can sprain your ankle with running shoes. Almost everybody who has worn those has fallen or twisted their ankle in some way. When your thinking about buying shoes, they this website. \nhttp://www.tennis-warehouse.com \np.s. I use prince shoes and they have a great guarantee on them.

It's been a few years since I was heavily involved with the sport, but I used two brands. Mizzuno and Nike, both of which were very good and supportive. I'd go with Mizzuno slightly over Nike because a) they're more specialized to the sport and b) Nike's tended to run a little smaller and invariably caused some discomfort the first few times you wore them. If you were to go with Nike's, I'd recommend breaking them in practice for about a week before you wore them in a game. Good luck!

You should start out walking, then add running intervals, and work towards running the whole time or distance.  A good beginner program that uses increasing running intervals is the couch to 5K program: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml\n\nA book that you might like is The Courage to Start by John "The Penguin" Bingham.\n\nOh, and definitely buy good running shoes.  Go to a local running store (not a mall store like Foot Locker) and ask for help getting the right shoes for your feet.  If you don't have a local store, try http://www.roadrunnersports.com and use the "shoe dog."  Shoe dog will suggest shoes based on your answers about your foot type, weight, how much you run, etc.

Actually I heard they arent that great. If you really want them go try them on.  I bought a pair of Nike Hurrache Elites and they are prolly the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned.

Yeah I agree, especially with the Nikes.  They are great because they are so light, but I defintley noticed a lack of support, and had two teamates who had similiar Nikes and had foot injuries the entire season.  I switched to the heavier but much more solid predator, and I was very happy after that.

when u run ur feet must land on the ground  at the balls of your feet and the toes.landing on ur heel causes injuries(serious ones).also avoid running on tarred roads(asphalt).they are bad for ur knees.And before u start running do a few excercises (streching)etc to heat up your body and also to improve circulation.if u start runnin (especially in the morning) without proper streching it will hurt u(physically)

its like driving a shitty rusted ford tempo or a brand new sleek ferrari. which would u choose?i have 3 pairs of jordans one pair being a prototype never been realesed that cost me over 700$ alone. and when im in a new pair of jordans and see people in geeky brooks i laugh.stop drinking the jordan hater-ade.why do women spend thousands on a dior (or add any fashion na,me brand) handbags when a grocery bag is probaly more spacious and cheaper?they like the name,prestige and quality of the more expensive brand names.and whether they are made in sweat shops means nothing.i have never had a pair fall apart.i guess there little malnourished child fingers can get right in there and sew that shoe good.does them making 5 cents a day bother me while im playing a game in my nice kicks?no not really.if nike didnt give them the 5 cents they would lounge around in trash all day anyways.

If u want style then go with the bronsl but if you want decent B-ball shoes then U gotta to go with Kobe's. They are very light and they got good ankle support. The T-macs are terrible and they weigh a ton compared to other shoes.

What's your long run like?  If your long run is round 10 miles you'll probably be fine.  What's your goal,  just to finish or do you have a PR in mind?\n\nIf you have other forms of exercise and are in good shape, you'll be fine. Other wise I would bump up my mileage over the next few weeks, and then taper for the race.  Try and do at least one 13 mile run a few weeks before you half.

Ben Wallace does wear AND1, but I am not sure which ones he is wearing right now, I couldnt find them anywhere. But if you like those, you would probably like the Air Jordan Retro 4.
