The Adidas shoe which has a microchip in it.\n\nIt is priced a bit high for a shoe because it changes its cushioning for different uses.

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 ;)

depends on how much money you got.  i assume that you want to know whether it is best for your running gait to constantly use new shoes rather than some old (but comfortable) run over shoes.  i say, if you're running a marathon go with what feels best to your feet!

A specialty running store would be the best place.  Fleet Feet or the running room are 2 chains of running stores.  If you don't have any local running specialty stores, Road Runner Sports is a good catalog and online store for running shoes.

It depends on how your feet hit the floor.\nLook at your shoes, how do you wear them out.\ndo you have pain when you run, in your heels, shins, back?\ninside shin, outside shin?\n\nThe 3 main component of running shoes are stability, cushioning and arch support.\n\nWhat I did is go to a top shelf running shoe shop  like a "Foot Locker" where they sell shoes. tell the salesman what your specific needs are and he should prescribe a shoe thats best for your feet and running style.\n\n--you dont buy the shoes there - too expensive, you just get your education there. I sugeest you go to 2 stores to make sure the salesman isnt trying to sell you their special of the week. Then go to the internet and search for the best price.

Good running shoes won't really improve your running times, but you are risking injury by running in poor shoes.  Make sure you get good shoes before venturing off the treadmill.\n\nWhen you first start running outside, you will initially find it harder and will likely run slower.  But try not to be discouraged because running outside is harder.\n\nTo really improve your times, you will need to do some speed play, run longer sometimes, and run hills.

Try a local running store, not a shoe store, but a store where runners and athletes get their shoes.  They will examine your foot, measure it, tell you what type of arch you have and give you shoes to fit your style of foot.  Asics makes the best running and walking shoes along with Brooks.  Stay away from Nike and such seeimg how they are just a name brand.  But I hope this has helped you in some way.

Like most other things in life, there is no best, there's only best for you\n\nDon't shop for a brand, shop for a fit.\n\nGo to a shoe store that specializes in running shoes and try on several brands. Don't buy something because you like the color. Tell the salesperson the activities you are going to be doing.  Walk around the store. If the store has a treadmill, try them on the treadmill. Find out if the person who is recommending the shoe is a runner. \n\nDon't forget to take a pair of your own socks, the style you always wear for workouts. Stores will have a supply of socks, but you can't count on them to have the style and thickness that you like.\n\nJust a note, most running shoes are not build to take lateral stress. If you are going to participate in activities that require hard side-to-side action, such at basketball or tennis, make sure that your shoe is built to take it.

There are several good ones. I personally like the Titleist SoLo and the Nike SuperSoft. A lot of people like the Maxfli Noodle. All of these have a soft feel and good distance.

Yes... Save your knees!!!!! Running shoes are the most important training tool a runner can have. Heavier shoes can put stress on your ligaments and joints. Running shoes are designed to take the stress and properly support your feet and legs during running. \n\nafter a while the spring will be pounded out of your running shoes. even though you will still have more cushion than running barefoot, the stress on your knees can be great enough to cause damage over time.  Ideally you should change your shoes every 3 months or 300 miles depending on your training volume. realistically if you can update your shoes twice a year you will probably be alright. But make sure you buy the right shoe for the terrain. I wouldn't recommend using a trail running shoe for a track or road race.\nbest of luck to you.

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!

Nike Zoom Air Huarache's. They are by far the most comfortable and light on your feet. Check them out.

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!
