Shoes that cost less than $100.00 Can someone please help me find good running shoes with my specifications. Please and Thank You:)
I prefer Nike but im open to other brands if they are good
Answer
If there is a specialized running store in your area (some better-known stores are known as Fleet Feet; just do a search on running stores), head there and get a gait analysis, and make sure it's more than having a saleperson simply watch you walk across the store in your socks. A decent store will have you on a treadmill where they can gauge your stride, footstrike, etc. Big box stores like Sports Authority, though they might have salespeople that are runners, are really not the place to get the right shoe for you if you have no idea what shoe to get.
Even though I technically have normal arches based on the wet test (dip your feet in water, step on a newspaper to see the imprint; if you see an arch, normal foot, flat foot or high arch), my feet are flat, I am an extreme heel-striker, and I am a severe overpronator. While I was in the correct group of shoes (stability), I needed a sturdier shoe.
You might find that your foot type may be wrong, or that depending on factors other than your build, like your age, weight, how long you have been running, where you run (pavement, trail), your average pace (fast runner or steady slow runner), and how many miles you plan to put on your shoes per week can determine your correct type of shoe.
A good store will not pressure you to buy their shoes, though some will do the gait analysis for free if you buy a shoe they have there. You can take their information and do a bit more research on the shoe(s) suggested and either purchase them through Ebay (they do have lots of new in box shoes, which is why I do all my shopping there). Many times online stores like runningwarehouse have sales on last season shoes, which are still new and often priced quite nicely. Be prepared to replace the shoes every 300 or so miles, since they will break down in the midsole even though the shoes look new. So be prepared to purchase several pairs over the span of a year. Trust me, there are few things more painful than running in a pair of shoes that are no longer good for running.
No one brand or style of shoe is better since everyone's feet are different. While I love my Asics Kayanos, many hate it and prefer something with even more cushioning, like the Brooks Trance. I started out on Nike Shox before I realized that these are pretty awful shoes - for me - though many like them. A good running store can at least narrow down for you types of shoes that you might like, and if you are willing to experiment (get two pairs of shoes and alternate them), you might find out that the one shoe you would never otherwise consider would be your shoe of choice. Minimalist shoes like the Vibrams are pretty close to running barefoot, and that is a specific choice - IF your feet can handle them. Only a lucky few seem to be able to run in them well. While I can understand the need to stay on a budget, I suggest getting the best shoe you can afford; technically, you can put yourself in $50 shoes marketed for running, but your feet might soon ache and/or be covered in blisters.
A good site to start your search on a shoe for you is on runnersworld.com; there is a link on the left side of the main page for shoe finder and reviews, and perhaps that can also help you.
