High quality running shoes?

New Balance, this was what was issued to me during boot camp in 1990. I took a pair with me to the Law Enforcement Academy and I still wear them. The tread seems to hold up longer than any other and I am rough on shoes.

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!

Check out Keen Footwear or Teva (see links below). They have some comfortable sandals that I've known people to wear on hikes of many thousands of miles!\n\nThere are also a lot of running shoes that are basically just mesh surrounding the foot. Asics makes a very lightweight, breathable running shoe, and Salomon has an "Amphibian" shoe that is completely made of mesh. Use a thin pair of socks (I recommend Wrightsocks) to help with the blisters.

Go out to your local running store and try some shoes out.  Generally, the cheaper a running shoe is, the "less shoe" you're going to get.\n\nFor Example, Racing flats are generally around $60, regular models are around $75-90, and motion-control and cushioneded shoes are $90-120.\n\nAs you go up that ladder, you are getting more cushion, motion-control and general 'technology.'\n\nTrying to buy cheap shoes to run in will only cause you to buy improper ones for your needs and you'll end up hurting yourself, or running in uncomfortable shoes.\n\nThe better way to go about buying running shoes is to go to a running store, and talk with the clerk (they're generally very very knowledgeable) about what you need out of your shoe, and they will pick the correct one for you.  It's worth the investment to shell out an extra $20 to keep your legs healthy.\n\nI hope this helps, good luck finding the right shoes.

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!

All running shoes are not the same. You should try on several pairs and see which are most comfortable for you. If you have a store near you that specializing in running shoes, go there and talk to a sales person. I was skeptical, but they can really help you find the best show for you. Also, may I suggest if you are running on roads, that you try trail running. Trail running is much easier on the joints, and your body will appreciate the lack of pounding that the pavement provides.

Actually any good shoe is OK.    But they must be the right size and width for your foot.   Never buy cheap shoes.

www.runnersworld.com has some great beginning running programs on their site ("training" link).  Like others have said, good shoes are a must or you'll just injure yourself.  Expect to pay a bunch for the first pair you get and buy them at a shoe store where you can test them out on a treadmill in the store.  Have the salespeople help you with different brands and types of cushioning until you find what works for you. After the first pair, you can find your next pair on sale or online after you know what you want.\n\nJust listen to your body and work gradually.  Avoid injury by training smartly.

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.

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.

This may seem like a dumb answer, how about Wal-Mart? I have seen it in my local one here in Florida. Look in sporting goods if they don't have it in the shoe dept.

Nike Shox are not the best support shoe if you plan on using them for running or any exercise involving running. There are better shoes out there that are better for you style of feet. They are best for a walking around shoe at most.

Nike are excellent for running in.  \n\nHowever buy a pair that are light weight, give good support and good cushioning try www.nike.com u can design your own pair there or even better try and find a company that sell Asics there excellent for distance running and are designed specifically for runners they are often priced around the same as most Nike trainers but as said are more specific to runners needs i own a few pairs and defiantly advise them.\n\nhttp://www.asicsamerica.com/
