Asic Running Shoes

Find out what your local running store is and go have them determine which shoe is best for you! Fleet Feet is a pretty common running store found in most major cities.

I wear aasics and they're amazing. I have a flat foot and put pressure on the inner ish part of my foot the most but i correct that with arch supports from the good feet store. it keeps the foot from rolling. i got the cheapest i could and it deff helps, but if you got a bit more to spend then deff go for it.

I wear Asics because I have a considerable pronation problem which can lead to a lot of foot pain. My ankles turn in so that my shoes wear quickly on the inner heels. I use the Asics Duomax which is a gray color on the arch area of the sole. I don't know if it would help, but there is a Dr. Scholl's display at Wal*Mart where you can check your feet for what type support you need. You don't have to buy the recommended inserts, but it might give you an idea of where you may need the most support when you try the shoes on. I like watching the specials at Famous Footwear when I can buy a pair and get a pair half off. Then I have a couple pair that I can rotate. They last longer and it is better for your feet. Asics are the most comfortable shoes I have been able to find. I live in them! As soon as you start feeling any foot discomfort, it is time to buy a new pair of running shoes.

Asics are my favorite brand!
Budgetwise me gets them at Big5.

Personally, I would say go into an actual store that provides advice from certified people. I know around my way there is a place called Fleet Feet that gives you advice based on arch and all that. They also watch you jog and run to help you pick a shoe.. It is an awesome store. Maybe there is one around you?

YEEAH! this is what i did. got some sweet asics. now i want more.

There is more to you're feet than being flat footed (or not). Three of the things you did not mention is your arch, instep and whether you are o r are not an overpronator. If you run a lot like I do, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Some real nice shoes are Nike LunarEclipse+ Shield and Mizuno Wave Rider 15. These are minimalist shoes. See the link for some suggestions http://www.fitsugar.com/2011-Running-Shoe-Styles-Reviewed-20910328?page=0,0,0

I have ran two half marathons and am training for a marathon, all with asics. I need arch support so these help! I'm pretty sure they were rated best running shoes by runners magazing but don't quote me!

I also recommend going to a shoe store that will analyze your gait and then make recommendations for you. The shoes are usually about the same price as those at any other shoe store! Also, I have a tendency to get shin splints too (you're shoes, your running ergonomics, and muscular anatomy all affect this) and I run with compression socks on. They're 40-60 dollars but last for a long time. I was able to train for and run a half marathon without getting shin splints!

As others have suggested, go to a store that specializes in running gear and have your gait analyzed, then try on several different pairs in the store and run in them (either on a treadmill or around the store) to see how they feel on - a pair of shoes may be great for a lot of people but all wrong for you and your foot/stride, so take the time to find the right pair up front - no advice on the web can take the place of in-person analysis and trying the shoes on. Spending the time is worth it - the right pair of shoes can help prevent injury, while the worng pair can set you up for injuries. If the prices are too high at the running store, find the right pair there and then go buy them somewhere else.
