Running shoes

I'm sure there's probably a thread on here somewhere about this but I can't find it. I have a pair of Nike Zoom Speed Rivals 5 and a pair of Under Armour Speedform Fortis and both are getting close to retirement. Looking at some Hokas as I've heard good things about them for road running. I don't run trails here as there isn't any mainly asphalt trails and sidewalks and the 10k here is on the street obviously. Anyone have any input for a good road shoe?

I use Asics, Saucony and Brooks. BUT - go to a good running shoe store and let them guide you.2

There's no running store near me here in Japan. Use to be a semi pro runner years ago fastest recorded 5k was 17:46 and 10k was 40:12. That was years ago and now I have had 2 surgeries on my ankle and a bad back thanks to a motorcycle wreck so my running has changed a lot.

What did you used to use?0

Check out the Hoka One One Clatons or Cliftons. They are great for road running. Also, Adidas Pure Boost are good as well.
Most companies will let you try there shoes for 30 days and if you are not happy with them you can send them back for a refund.1 -

It sounds pretty critical for you to get good shoes. I'd take the journey to go to a store where you can try them on. As you well know, they are always change the design. (Unnecessarily.)0

Oh yes that's exactly why I went away from asics that I use to wear. We have a sports store here that's where I bought my last 2 pair but the staff are just there for a paycheck and not knowledgeable whatsoever0 -

The Hola One is actually what I been looking at. Have you had experience with them? I hear they run about a half size smaller

This
is what has caused me such a set back in my running from years ago still only have about 50% range of motion1 -
Asics cumulus have always been my choice - they fit my foot shape well and offer me the support my feet need not to turn over on my ankles. I am lucky though as have small feet so I always buy boys instead of ladies which are cheaper. I did have my feet properly sized when I took up running and I think that's important.1

I like saucony and Nike best.
Also, that's some gnarly ankle work you had done!0 -
Gah! Ok, I change my recommendation to an imperitive: make the journey to a store and try the shoes on first. Also, you may want to wear an ankle support.

I have both. The Clayton's are my favorite of the two. I take 11 or 11 1/2. The Clayton's I can go with 11, but the Clifton 3's I had to go with 11 1/2.
Do you have an REI near you?
they may have them in stock and you can try them on.0 -
I have been wearing Asics Gel Venture for a long time and they work perfectly for me for trail runs. They upgraded from the 3 and now they are on the 6. I still have 3 pairs of the 5 though. Hope you get better and your range of motion improve.0

If you know what shoes you have now, maybe look at runningwarehouse.com and see if there's something similar? If you know what type of shoe you need, you can sort by pronation type and look at the brands they suggest.
They have an online gait analysis option too if you're not sure.... http://www.runningwarehouse.com/LearningCenter/gaitanalysis.html

Go to roadrunner or runningwarehouse and compare the shoes you have to the alternatives they offer. Do you wear support shoes or neutral shoes? How big is the drop? Do you want an every day shoe, a racing flat, or a shoe for long slow distance? If you are used to minimalist (zero to 5mm drop) shoes, then running in a built up shoe (10+ mm.) is going to affect different parts of your body. You can make the change, but you have to do it gradually or you will get injured.0

my husband loves Hoka Claytons, to the point that he has multiple pairs. Hoka also has a wonderful recovery slide. I don't like the fit of their running shoes, too bulky for me but their slides are amazing! I prefer Saucony Rides.0

I like running shoes with memory foam
they're like marshmallows on your feet
but I run on part grass/concrete/dirt
like this: https://www.amazon.com/Reebok-Womens-Zprint-Running-Shoes/dp/B019O03FLC/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1499622953&sr=8-10&keywords=reebok+running+shoes+memory+foam&th=1&psc=10 -
I wear Saucony Redeemers, but I have flat feet and circulation issues. They work for me. If you can't get to a running store, perhaps a podiatrist might give you some recommendations? At least, what to look for in a shoe, if not a specific brand?0

I live in Japan in the countryside so I don't have anything near me but a sports store and the staff are clueless about anything but location of products in the store lol0 -
So do the claytons run true to size? They don't sell the hoka brand here in Japan so I'll have to order them I wear a size 10bcalvanese wrote: »Waddellfitness wrote: »bcalvanese wrote: »Check out the Hoka One One Clatons or Cliftons.

They seem to run truer to size than the cliftons. I recommend ordering them from the hoka one one website. They give you 30 days to return them.0 -
Claytons my hubby wears are true to size Cliftons he has to go half a size up.0

I've worn Saucony, New Balance which I both liked but I absolutely love my On runners!
I also have two plates and ten screws in my ankle from an accident a year ago and I'm running again. My ROM is far less then you as well and the On runners are amazing.

Thank you, most helpful since you are in a similar situation as me. I checked out the On Runners and they look awesome. I think I want to try these out!! Do you use the quick laces or traditional tie laces?

Brooks Dyad 8's are good and stiff for better support. They allow me to run in spite of a big toe that can't bend, a tricky Achilles, and thinning tissue in my heels. Of course, slipping a pair of green Superfeet in them doesn't hurt, either!0

Nike Pegasus for me.
I definitely do NOT have Asics shape feet. Horrendous issues for one heel for me - weirdly not the one with the screw!
(Both ankles have rearranged tendons as well, the left one has some staples in to fuse some of the smaller joints.)1
