Running Shoes???

How do I know what running shoes to buy???


Im not worried about the cost I just need good shoes


I have collapsed arches and everytime I go into a store to buy shoes they all feel fine but when I run they dont always work. So how do I know which shoes? any good questions to ask the associates or any suggestions of shoes?

Running Shoes???
go to a specialized running store and ask a sales person to help you. explain to them your problem. they might give you a insertable thing called super feet. or you could go and get customized orthopedics.
Reply:this question is one of the most popular running questions that is good because shoes are a runner%26#039;s most important tool.








running shoes vary from person to person. they depend on running style, form of your foot,





I would recommend looking for a store called A Snail%26#039;s Pace Running Shop near you. They%26#039;ll analyze your foot form and type (arch width/length) and your stride (how you run). Usually, they make you step on a memory foam to see the shape of your footprint. They ask you what your plans are for running (trails, track, cement, long distance etc.) Then, they%26#039;ll recommend the best shoe for your needs.


Here%26#039;s a link to their page

you can also find a Road Runner. They%26#039;ll do pretty much the same thing.


what I like about Road Runner is that they%26#039;ll let you run on the shoes for a few minutes [no charge] to see how you feel them.





Here%26#039;s a link to a handout my XC coach made about Running Shoes. It%26#039;s really helpful.

good luck and happy runnin%26#039;





P.S: most running shoe stores will give you a 10% discount if you tell them you%26#039;re a student and shoes your school ID [esp. Road Runner]
