It depends on track regulations where you are. If you run long distance on a track, you'll want regular, comfortable, padded running shoes. They're cheaper than flats or spikes and better for long distance on a track. Just get fairly light shoes so you're not weighed down too much.\n\nIf you're doing cross country, then consider spiked flats. Some flats now come with detachable spikes, the spikes for races where they're allowed, and the flats for when they're not, or when you're in a sprinting event.\n\nGood luck this season.

It depends on what type of foot you have and what type of running you do.  \n\nIf you have narrow feet, Nike work well -- use a size larger than your usual size since Nike's run small.\nIf you have wide feet, New Balance are the best running shoes and have a large selection of wide sizes.\n\nMake sure that the shoes have good arch support and either gel (New Balance or Asics -- they are really good shoes also) or air (Nike) in the heels.  Light-weight shoes are especially suited for running.\n\nIf you do most of your running on asphalt (streets or sidewalks) or on a track, use (normal) running shoes.  If you are going to be running on surfaces that may have small stones or dirt, buy cross-training shoes.\n\nI hope that helps you with your decision!

I would have to say either the Nike Breathe Free, Adidas Baricade 2, or the K-Swiss Ultrascendor.  Most advanced players claim you really can't go wrong with any of these three, so take your pick.

I have been a long distance runner for over twelve years. I started out in high school where I only wore Nike because I liked their styles the best. However, in the past six years I have tried a variety of brands (everything from Reebok to Asics to Saucony) to see if there was anything better out there. I have found New Balance to be the most comfortable and durable shoes that I have tried. They are the only running shoes that I wear. However, my girlfriend has flat feet and swears by Adidas.

For cross training, I would probably recommend Asics, it's a good running shoe, however, they average somewhere around 60-80 bucks. If you want to check different brands out there, you should check out www.zappos.com it is a really nifty online shoe store that offers free shipping and free returns. It also has a customer ratings/review site for a customer to tell how they like or dislike the shoe they bought. I prefer grey because it's easier to match with dark clothing and because I usually get my white shoes dirty ;)

Try 'em on with your shin guards and socks, then walk a few steps in the shop with them on.  Your feet will let you know which ones are best.  They're going to stretch some too, so keep that in mind.   Most expensive isn't always the best.

OMG....I'm so mad at the sneakers I just bought.  I narrowed it down to an Addidas running shoe and a Nike running shoe.  I ended up going with the Nike Impact Run sneaker.  I have never had a problem with Nike....but now, when I run....it sounds like an elephant is running.  I'm running correctly.  Not only that, but my right foot is not right after the run.  I'm glad I didn't thow out my old sneakers.

The Jordan XXI is awsome I have a black pair but will burn a hole in most peoples wallets.  But I would suggest an outlet mall to shop at you can get name brands for loads cheaper, but I would stick with Nikes, Jordans, addidas, AND 1, or Reeboks.  I had a pair of dada's last season but they made a sound when ever they blew out the air to make the spinners spin.

It's not a matter of favorites.  Different brands cater to different foot shapes and problems.  Do your feet roll in or out when you run?  Do you have knee problems or high arches?  A full-service athletic shoe store clerk should be able to help you find the type that will work best for your physical anatomy.

The best running shoe is most likly asic or mizzuo because they protect your feet.. nike just overprices everything and your shoe will come apart if you run to much.. if your are very interseted in running then go to a store where they look at your running style and see what shoe best fits your running stlye so you won't injure yourself badly

It may depend on what kind of tracks you'll be running on.  The different surfaces need different spikes.  But in any case, the lighter shoes the better.

I think the treadmill, walking is really good for you. I suppose if you do it alot and for a long time, running could get hard on your knees, but walking shouldn't. \n\nThe best model would be one that folds up for storage if you dont have much room for one. Sears or walmart have them, but Sears would be a much better quality of treadmill.

There are track shoes designed for all track races. But what you decide to wear depends on the surface and your own personal preference.\n\nIf you're running on an old cinder (dirt) track, spike are a must because in trainers, you'll slip or lose traction without the grip of spikes. Over a distance of 1600m, that could mean several yards you'll be giving up to the competition, not to mention the extra energy you'll have to expend. The spikes you would use for most tracks of this type would be 3/8", possibly 1/2", but that's a little long\n\nOn a mondo or all-weather track your footing is much better, but you can still slip. In this case, you could use trainers or racing flats if you choose, but spikes are still preferable for the best traction. The spikes you would use for most tracks of this type would be 1/4" ~ 3/8".

Well, i'd go to a specialty running shoe store. I've ran with brooks for distance, and they're really good.
