The best running shoes??

I dont have a high arch, so I dont know anything about that. The Bikila LS and Speed Vibrams mention that they fit more instep hights, so they may be the styles you should check out .

Thanks! That gives me a good place to start researching.

Someone has probably already said this, but here goes. You should go to your local running store to be fit. That way you get the best for your feet.

This is true, and I was fitted at Fleet Feet, *but* they will/can only recommend shoes they sell. A lot of which will be great shoes, but they have no idea abot Vibrams. If you're curious I would go to a sport or outdoor shop that sells Vibrams and try them for yourself.

You can do research on you own, and ask your doctor or a cihropractor if you see one. My doctor says Vibrams are good, and my friend who is a chiropractor always recommends them (I don't have a chiropractor cause my back is ok at the moment).

Oh, if it's any help. I started running 3 weeks ago, from being a non-runner. I sometimes wear a light brace on my left knee, but I haven't had any shin splints, or foots problems. I have sore muscles, but that can't be avoided.

Oh, and mine are the Vibram Sprints- which are great, except for the off-road traction in wet weather. I am an outdoors runner so I am considering adding the TrekSport or Bikila LS to my wardrobe. Something to keep in mind if you are an outdoors exerciser.

i wear underarmor and love love love them. i have had three pairs and i never wanna run in anything but them i cant seem to find them anywhere but online so it can be a risk that way but for me totally worth it

If you have an Academy Sports and Outdoors store anywhere near you, they always have a pretty large quantity of Underarmour shoes there...
