What are the best mid-priced running shoes for women?

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.

I wear Nike shox and last time I bought mine  i paid $110\n\nbut I run a lot.. so I guess it depends on how often you will use those shoes. I'd go cheaper if you dont workout as much.

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

There is no best shoe. You should buy a shoe that you know you can run in. A shoe that is comfortable to you. But in track meets you should have track spikes. Some are expensive and some are cheaper. Buy one that you think is a good fit and make sure it is a reliable brand.  I like brooks and saucony. :)

One of the best bargain for women's clubs are the Adams Idea set for women.  These are as good as the top brands but at a fraction of the price.  However, these are still not as cheap as those $200 sets.\n\nAnother option is the Callaway GES.  These have been discontinued, but they are truly excellent for female beginners.  You should still be able to find a set either online or in some stores.  They are extremely forgiving and will help beginners stay interested in the game rather than getting frustrated and quitting.  I would highly recommend the GES based on personal experience.\n\nThe Adams set comes with short irons, long hybrid irons, and woods.\n\nThe GES comes with 3 irons, 3 woods, a putter, and a bag.\n\nHope this is helpful!

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

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.

I have a pair of Adidas Supernova Classic, 2 months old,86.99\n\nA pair of Mizuno Inspire, 89.99 3 weeks old\n\nA pair of Adidas Supernova Trail $40 bucks  1.5 years old (eBay bargain)\n\nA pair of Adidas Supernova Classic 6 months old on the way out, to become my weight training shoes and then lawn mowers.\n\nI love my Adidas Supernova Classics, they are a stability shoe, and they wear like iron. Jury is out on the Mizunos, but they were great out of the box, no breaking in necessary.

Any specialty running store like Fleet Feet or the Running Room or a local running store.  If you don't have anything in your area, try the online store or catalog from Road Runner Sports http://www.roadrunnersports.com

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.

It depends on your foot shape and structure. Your best bet would be to go to a good running store and ask the person who works their. I personally prefer Sacony's, although they are a little bit heavier then other shoes they offer more padding for the front half of the foot and have a wide base.

Hey TopSpin, it really depends on what kind of foot you have. With that in mind I'll include a link to a similar question that was asked. You'll be able to find my answer and that might help a bit. But when it all comes down to it, the best shoes are the ones that you feel the best in. I play a lot and at one point I was going through a pair of shoes every month or two. I decided to give Wilson shoes a whirl because they have guarantees on most of their shoes. I wasn't a big fan because they were too heavy for my taste. For my foot I really like Nike--and especially their Air Zooms. I don't know if you remember the old Sampras shoes, but those were the greatest. It was like playing in my socks.\n\nIf you want shoes that aren't too expensive, then you can find good shoes in the Nike, Adidas and Wilson lines that aren't too pricey--and they all have shoes with guarantees, although the Nikes and Adidas with guarantees are a bit pricier.\n\nHere's an alternative that I use: I buy two pair of shoes. I buy a really nice pair and then I keep my eyes open for sales or a good less expensive, more durable pair. I then switch them off. I usually go to Tennis Warehouse and look for shoes on liquidation. Here's an example for you:\nI'd get a pair of the older Air Resolve (on liquidation; I'll add the link below) for $60 and then I'd keep my eyes open for other good deals on the liquidation list (you could also check out sites like Holibird Sports; I'll include a link to their close-out page). I have a pair of these Resolves. They've got a six-month guarantee on the outsole and they're pretty comfortable. Plus they've got a solid toe--you mentioned toe-dragging.\n\nGood luck. I know how hard it is to find a shoe that fits well.

Tennis Warehouse has a good selection of tennis gear, which can be grouped by manufacturer and women’s apparel.  You can also contact them for team discounted rates at (888)-466-1188 or at team@tennis-warehouse.com.\n \nHere is the listing for all the women’s wear by Adidas.\nhttp://www.tennis-warehouse.com/WAAdidas.html\n\nIf you scroll down there are a couple shirts which are white and navy blue (called dark indigo w/white):\nhttp://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpageWAADIDAS-AWTT2.html\n\nFor white w/ dark indigo:\nhttp://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpageWAADIDAS-ATCT.html\n\nI don’t know if they’re “cute” enough for what you are looking for, as I don’t know what you consider cute.  Best of luck! \n\np.s. I was also on my high school tennis team many years ago and captain my senior year.

I bought a pair of Nike Interines which is just a training shoe.  I suggest against this.  Defiantly go with a pair of Asics or Mizunos.  I've used them in the past and they make a good shoe.  The only problem is that I haven't found a good pair of Asics in my size outside the Internet so here's hoping you don't have as large feet.

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.
