What is the Best Running Shoe?
The answer is, to be honest, there isn't a best
running shoe per say.
Every runner has his own needs and preferences.
For example, the best shoe for me might be the worst shoe for you.
However, from my experience testing shoes, fitting customers, and
receiving feedback, I've come up with a list of favorites.
I've categorized them in the three major
categories of running shoes, neutral, stability, and motion control.
Whenever possible, I add the following
notations where appropriate to help you get your ideal fit.
- Standard - for people weighing under 150
pounds.
- Advanced - for people weighing over 150 pounds.
- Performance - for speed workouts and
racing. The more you weigh the shorter the distance you should be
running in these types of shoes.
- Trail - for off road running (i.e. through
dirt, loose gravel, mud, water, etc.).
If you don't know what type of shoe you should
be wearing, I highly recommend that you
