Running shoes

[jess9395 5,448]

Any kind that is minimal in the sole. New Balance has good ones.. Had a lot of foot and shin pains previously and they went away after adjusting to a minimal sole (prior to surgery).

Lol see another example of different things working for different people! I recently tried a pair of mizuno racing flats w minimal soles and couldn't hack it! I like some cush/support.

Lots of running stores will have a 30 day or even 60 day return policy if the shoes don't work out

It takes awhile to get used to it, but its much like barefoot running.. a lot of people do not have adequate foot support from too much cushioning.

I run pretty much injury free in the shoes I wear now. Is there another reason I should switch?

Nah, if you are happy with what you have.

In the last month my ancient Adidas literally fell apart. And I bought some Sacony Hurricane running shoes. LOVE THEM!

Just got mine from Zappos. Black and Grey Asics Gel Venture 5 and Saucony Blue and Neon Green Echelon 5. Both feel super comfortable. I have a pair of the asics just like these already. They are great for working out in. They are comfortable because the sole and padding is so soft, but for that reason, they wear out quickly. At the rate I went through the first pair, I will probably go through 3 pairs in a year. Luckily, they are only 60.00. The Sauconys are much more expensive. I will save those for elliptical only days, or days when I wear blue. Have to match my shoes to my workout clothes.

Hoka running shoes have extra cushioning ( a lot more than any other shoe) and are great for beginners since they help protect your joints from the pounding we experience running on asphalt and cement. At 200 pounds, I still beat my legs up pretty bad, but the Hokas have made a vast difference in recovery and being able to increase distances without a great deal of added discomfort. They are expensive. In the 6 years since my surgery, the Hokas have been the biggest running benefit I have found. Game changers! You can try them at local running stores.
