Running Shoes that Are Right For You
Choosing a pair of running shoes can be tricky business, especially with the constant influx of new technology and the latest trends. Many websites, magazines and runners’ forums hesitate to make specific recommendations because purchasing a pair of running shoes is such a personal decision. Different shoes may be better for different feet, or for different running styles and needs. Choose your shoes based on your arch type (low, normal or high). And be sure to take into account any injuries or deformities you may have (weak knees, bunions, hammertoes, etc.). You should refer to recommendations for specific shoes only after considering your own feet and running needs.
National Geographic recently rated running shoes based on runner “types” (amateur, marathoner, etc.) and these are their picks:
For the experienced and competitive runner (The Racer), National Geographic picked the Pearl Izumi Streak. This athletic shoe was chosen for its first-rate cushioning that supports the foot without decreasing the foot’s responsiveness. This shoe is best for distances of 5k. For those of us who only hit the trail a couple of times a week (the Amateur), National Geographic recommends the Reebok Premier Bislett. This shoe is lightweight and provides cushioning and a smooth interior that should keep your feet comfortable. For people who struggle with over pronation (generally people with flat feet), try New Balance 1001. This shoe – like most shoes designed to limit pronation – provides your foot with motion control. Motion control shoes tend to be heavy, but National Geographic claims that the New Balance 1001 comes in nearly an ounce below average. Finally, for runners who like the latest in technological advances (the Innovator), National Geographic directs you towards the Newton Gravity. This high-tech shoe is designed so that you spend less energy on each step you take.
Runner’s World also carried out its own study, testing over 30 shoes with the help of 350 runners who wore the shoes for a month and then provided feedback. The Editor’s Choice was the Asic Gel-Kayano 15. The gel-filled heel provides first-rate impact protection. The shoe uses a new off-center lacing design, which, the Editor claims, provides for a “naturally snug” fit. The Best Buy award goes to the Mizuno Wave Nexus 3 (available to you at the price of $80). The Mizuno provides stability, a comfortable toe box with few frills or fuss.
For motion control, Runner’s World recommends the Etonic Minado 3 MC. This shoe offers the support and control of most motion control shoes but with a slightly less rigid sole and slightly more padding.
