Running shoes

[hog_down]

Also, some long distance runners buy their shoes 1/2 a size bigger, because supposedly the feet 'grow' a smidge. Just throwing that out there. Good, comfortable running socks are also a must too.

Another vote for On Running! I am not a big runner mostly jog but at 6'3" and 248lb my knees take a beating when I do. I have 2 pairs and love them both.

Brooks Launch here, I run 3-4 miles a day, 3-4 days a week. Mixed between treadmill at the gym or concrete around the neighborhood.

For those that were Asics. They have close outs on this past years shoes on their website. I was able to go $150 pair of gel nimbus 21s for $99.95 and you can use their promo code for an addition 25% off and comes with free shipping. Just passing it along. I like both Asics and Brooks and have heard good things about the Hoka brand from my coworkers at the hospital

Go to a run shop and get fitted before spending a lot on a new pair of running shoes.
I have supination, which means I walk and run on the outside edge of my feet and there are shoes specifically for that so I don't injure myself.
The run shop will take a look at your stride and can recommend various shoes if you supinate or pronate or even if you have flat feet.
I am partial to Brooks shoes and go through about 2 pair a year running roughly 600 miles per year.

What this guy said. Don't spend a dollar until you go to a dedicated running shop that will put you on a treadmill and take a video of your stride. They need to see if you pronate or not. Then they will match you to the proper shoe.

Brooks have been my favorite running shoes. Adrenaline for pronation. Great stability.

Hoka Bondi and Clifton 7 are great running shoes. After several years of not jogging due to feet issues these are the only ones I trust at the moment.

Brooks Adrenaline GTS are all I’ve worn for the last couple years and I love them. Super comfortable. I run anywhere from 2-3.5 miles a day, 5-6 days a week.

Teva trail running shoes were the best I’ve ever found. They are (or were, I’m not sure) the same parent company as Hoka. Something happened 4 or 5 years ago and the parent company sold some stuff off and changed some brands around. Haven’t found anything as good since then.

These days I’m in Aesics.

Asics for me.
I was running 3 time a week, but COVID now prevents us from leaving leaving the gate to exercise at lunch. So now run only on days I am off at a track.
I do 23 laps.
Walk 2
Walk curves and sprint the straights to equal 2 more laps
Walk another 2
Run 10 laps continuously
Walk 2 more
Walk 2 and run the straights backwards
And walk 5 more. Almost 7 miles total.
I use map my run app and music to keep me motivated.

I will toss in another vote for Hoka.

How many of you runners wear their hard type custom orthotics while running? I do.

I am going on my fifth pair of Brooks over the last three-four years. I do not miss many days so I go through them quickly jogging/walking off-road / streets. They are very comfortable to me and have never produced a blister.
