need affordable running shoes?




NightWolf


I know this has probably already been asked but I'm looking for some shoes I can wear just for running. Tend to wear down shoes I both run with and wear casually within a year. This is a question that has been asked but really looking for current opinion. Any good shoes that would be on clearance? I'm looking for function and anywhere from 30 to 40 dollars. There are good shoes out there that have lost some appeal on sales but are still good functionally I'm sure.


Answer
well, its rlly depends on what you are running. if your looking for that low, try some nikes.
if you maybe are willing to try expensive but very good quality running shoes, go to a store that will watch you feet and how you walk and wether you pronate (your foot turns in leaving the appearance of flat footedness) or if your feet are rlly actually flat.
if you don't get good quality shoes and you run a lot (like 2 miles or more), you will end up with shin splints, stress reactions, and stress fractures. thats what happened to me. what also happens is if you don't change your shoe once you hit the mileage on them, you will end up with these problems.
you should b okay with some cheaper shoes as long as you keep a lot of room for tear and they give you bounce. if you don't want expensive shoes, also maybe consider getting some soles.
good luck :)

Answer
Having the right running shoes is incredibly important for injury prevention - in fact, running in improperly fitted shoes is one of the leading causes of injuries among runners. The best shoe for one person may not be the best shoe for someone else, because we all have differently-shaped feet, different strides, different biomechanics, etc. That's why running shoes are typically fitted by pros at stores that specialize in running.

First, you need to find such a store in your area (not a big chain sporting goods store) & tell the clerk that you are in the market for a pair of running shoes and need a fitting. They should measure your foot in several different directions, watch you walk and run both barefoot and in shoes, and have you try on several different types of shoe. (If they don't do this, go somewhere else.) Don't worry about what the shoes look like or what brand they are - none of that matters. Go with the ones that feel the best on your feet.

You can expect to spend between $100 & $150 on a quality pair. I know it seems like a lot, but wearing the wrong shoes can end up costing much more in doctor and physical therapy bills & cost you training time. Shoes are really the only major expense when it comes to running, though, and having the right pair is incredibly important in terms of injury prevention, so don't skimp, on matter how much you may be tempted. (Alternatively, once you've been fitted and know what type & brand of shoe works the best for you, you can look for sales & bargains online - sometimes you can find a pair that are a little cheaper that way.)

Be sure to wear your shoes ONLY for running and no other activities. The trouble with using the same pair for both is that the motion involved in non-running activities can cause running shoes to break down faster, and you will have to replace your shoes much sooner. Finally, make sure to track how many miles you run in your shoes. Most pairs last around 300 - 500 miles, depending on the runner; after that, the midsoles wear out (even though the outer part of the shoe may look fine) and the shoe will no longer support your foot safely anymore when you run.

Hope that helps - best of luck! :)
