jtval 0 #8 June 20, 2002 do you run on your toes on your heel on the sides of your feet? thats why you should bring an old pair with you to a (wierd)"shoe specialist."Have fun, Live free, SKYDIVE!!http://community.webshots.com/user/jtval100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #18 June 20, 2002 You must make sure you have a smooth running style before you go buying high-performance running shoes. Quick turns in HP shoes can lead to serious injury, as they are made only for straight-line performance. Yes, I hear the Triathalon is a good all-around training shoe. Are you a Monkey or a Flunky?

Emmie 0 #20 June 20, 2002 Nike shox. They are expensive but totally worth it, great shock absorbers, plus they kind of bounce you right up, so you put less stress on your shins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #21 June 20, 2002 New Balance is one of the better all around shoes out there, actually. They make a few different styles and stuff for different feet and different kind of running. They're the only shoe I found that won't absofuckingly mess my feet up from running. Actually those and combat boots do well for running for me. *shrug* who knew.

pop 0 #22 June 20, 2002 ADIDAS, NIKE, and NEWBALANCE all make good running shoes. Ususally the good ones are priced well above $100. The trick to running shoes is this however. If you run 3 to 4 times a week you should buy new running shoes about every 3 to 4 months, as the absorbtion of the shock is practically worn out by the end of this time period. I have been into running for about 5 years now, and I never listened to anyone about the shoes. One knee surgery later, I do not go cheap on the shoes. You really do need to replace them often. Your knees and ankles will thank you.----------"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he doesn't exist!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #23 June 20, 2002 i hear they will make you run faster and jump higher tooserious, from what I hear as an average they say running shoes should last about 300-400miles. I SAY PLPLPLPL! I buy new ones when I NEED them 6 miles or six hundred!(your body will tell you! it all depends on the type of turf you run on etcHave fun, Live free, SKYDIVE!!http://community.webshots.com/user/jtval100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyhi 24 #24 June 20, 2002 I have had good luck with Road Runner Sports. They even have some geeked up site where their dog helps you pick out the right shoe for you. (You have to pick out the left one yourself.) You can find it Here.Hope it helps your pronating or supinating ways. flyhi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #25 June 20, 2002 Rhino,My wife runs all the time. She always buys Saucony. She's even ran a few marathons in them. To change the subject some, I really messed up my feet once. Maybe if I'd had the right shoes it wouldn't have happened. I had just received a new para-commander in the mail, back in the olden days. We decided we'd take it out para-sailing even though we'd never seen it done. We picked a hot sunny day with no wind (mistake number 1). I tied 150 feet of climbing rope behind a car and attached it to my new parachute. One of my drunken friends wanted to drive. (Mistake number 2). When all looked right he hit the gas. I'll bet I was running 50 miles per hour taking 20 foot strides before I fell over and got drug. The asphalt rubbed a huge raw spot off the side of one cheek. My heels were bruised so badly I could barely walk. And to top things off I had to send my brand new canopy to a Master rigger for some serious repair work. The moral of this story is not to try parasailing on a calm day. And always wear good running shoes when running in excess of 50 miles per hour.
