Do you run? I never could get into it, myself. Everytime I attempted it, I would get severe shin splints. I am sure that has something to do with my choice in shoes.
I guess I never followed the main rules:
Your foot should be securely locked into your shoe (think snug, not tight)
Beware pinches or pressure points
Shoes should move with you; if they don’t bend along the same line that your foot flexes, toss ‘em.
Watch for incorrectly placed arch support
Those fatty pads under your foot are a natural way of providing cushioning; a shoe with a molded footbed actually keeps the fat pads under your feet while you run so they can do their job.
A recent study suggests THIS is the only thing that matters for safe running shoes.

Run make us more healthy, unfortunately I have not much time to do it. Maybe sometime later when my little daughter grow older.

Little ones do keep us busy. I cannot use that excuse, mine are all grown now and live on their own.
