Best Running Shoes  

agree with you totallyundecided, nike's are expensive!!! lol!

i have a couple of nike's but ususally just for malling or chilling. i've never tried any of their running shoes but i'll try to next time i go shoe shopping. fila shoes, i've never had before but i'll check it out as well. yeah, fila is less expensive than the other brands out there.

thanks for participating!

cheers!!!

Have you seen shoes like the Newton running shoes and the New Balance 800? They have less heel to them so that you land midfoot like you would with barefoot running. I'm ordering a pair of the New Balance shoes.

I've heard good things about the Puma racing flats from people who run 5Ks in 16 or 17 minutes, but they don't run barefoot generally. Although, they usually wear these shoes on the track and during races, not all the time. I notice even wearing a relatively uncushioned shoe like the Nike Free sometimes my feet hurt considerably after running a long distance (err, long to me... only about 4 miles or so) on pavement. Which is why I went for the New Balance as my next shoes that I'll hopefully run the 10K in.

i have puma running shoes and i do feel comfortable running in them but i do think there are better running shoes out there. haven't tried nike cross-trainers and i doubt if i will.

never really thought of you as a jumper. although you do come across as a very sports-minded person. when you say 'jumper', what do you exactly mean? kindly elaborate.

cheers!!!

Aerobics and jump rope! I have been doing PX90 the past few weeks and that is by far one of the best fitness programs out there!

good for you. i know the program is doing great things to you.

keep it up!

cheers!!!

can u tell me what is the approx price of caterpillar shoes???

nike is expensive and i've looked at a couple of adidas models but i didn't fancy any. haven't really tried convers as well as the other brands you've mentioned but will do so next time i go shoe shopping.

thanks for participating.

cheers!!!

agree with you that there is no 'best shoe' around. i'll go to a shop in bonifacio high street that specializes in running shoes. they boast of a scientific way of taking your feet measurement and this guarantees maximum comfort when running. not so sure about the models available in the store but they do have a wide variety.

i'll check those ASICS as well. haven't had a chance to check that brand but i have heard good things about it.

thanks for sharing bart.

cheers!!!

i know what you mean pigglies. i'm going to one of the stores here in manila to get my foot measured the 'scientific' way and get the best shoes that would suit my feet.

haven't really ran in a trail but looking forward to do so since it offers different challenges rather than running in a paved jogging lane. i'll definitely check the nike shoes that you mentioned and see if it suits me.

cheers!!!

Thanks for the best response!

And now that I've run 50 miles in the New Balance shoes, I can tell you that they seem too cushioned for me. I have the New Balance 800 Midfoot Strike shoes. They're also a little on the wide side.

thanks for the additional info pigglies.

i'm currently saving up for the new nike running shoes. forgot how they call it but they're claiming that these are the lightest running shoes out there in the market. haven't run yet in the new year but have been going on a semi-diet to lose the pounds i got last holiday season. lol!

anyway, looking forward to a better running year this year. looking forward to joining my first half-marathon by end of the year.

cheers!!!

Oh are those the Flywire Zoom shoes?

Hope you do well on your half marathon! I've got one coming up next month.

thanks for participating saqibthe007.

do you have any particular model of adidas shoes in mind? i'd like to hear more about it. nice to know that there are members here in mylot who enjoy running as well.

cheers!!!
