Best jogging sneakers

I use Nike and New Balance. It really depends on your foot and the type of runner you are.

 

I've got a sensitive back, and the impact kills me. I went to runtex (local running specialty shoe shop) and got fitted. Sure, 100 clams, but well worth it. Not one bit sore after a 10K. Ended up with these Nike's. http://store.nike.com/index.jsp?country=US&lang_locale=en_US&l=shop,pdp,ctr-nikeid/pn-strTri120901/pbid-INSPI_89023_v9_0_20090105/piid-9152/mid-156865956/pid-239281/cid-1/mid-156970805

 

And then there is this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1170253/The-painful-truth-trainers-Are-expensive-running-shoes-waste-money.html

 

I always get fitted. There's a local running store and they look at your old shoes wear pattern as well as analyze your running gate and then give you a couple to try on.

 

i run somewhat seriously. right now im wearing sauconys... before that i wore asics. like said above, go to a running store and theyll hook you up. better to pay a little more than to have a crappy shoe

 

i like nike, but not for running. they are the only major footwear company that doesnt consult pediatrists when designing their shoes

 

I really like my Mizunos - ditto others, went to running store to get them, not cheap (approx $100) but well worth the money. http://www.mizunousa.com/equipment.nsf/productrun?openform&div=running&cat=footwear-womens

I currently like Nikes (previously have had runs of New Balance, Asics, Reebok). Lots of considerations--do you supinate, pronate, or run neutral? Is you foot wide or narrow? Arch low or high? Any previous injuries? Funny looking feet (hammer toes, etc.)?

You will need to determine what type of shoe you need (stability, neutral, cushion), the height and location of the arch support, the width of the toe box, the width of the heel cup, etc.

If you do some reading and get fitted by a specialized running store you might then be able to pick on your own, but until then get help. It may be that you have "ordinary average feet" in which case you'll have a lot of choices. Or you may not, and only one or two models may work well.

Unless you're talking about logging 1-2 miles once or twice a month, in which case you can probably use anything.

 

Asics make some good running shoes, along with some that Scotty mentioned.

 

nike air max+ 2009 with flywire technology also hooks up to your I-pod and keeps track of your running patterns etc. both the air max 360 and the +2009 are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

 

What's a "pediatrist"? Specialist in children's shoes?

Sorry...couldn't resist.

 

I like Nike .

 

Nike Air Max. Especially the Air Max 360.

 

I've got 200+ miles on a pair of Asics right now and no problems. I also got fitted at RunTex so my advice would be to find a run specific store that can fit you. Personally I'd never buy a pair of Nike's to run in.

 

Asics here. You can really put serious miles on Asics and they wear, in general, very long. Agreed to getting fitted. I have a wider foot, and the Asics are like a glove...and you get these at many big box shoe/sport stores; great value.

 

+1. LOVE the Asics that I bought after suffering a bout of shin splints a couple of years ago. Have had 3 pairs now, and will probably never run with anything else.

I could never imagine running with any form of Nike shoe - fashion first, IMO.

As aforementioned, get yourself fitted from your local running store. Permanent damage can be done to your feet / shins / knees / back without the correct shoes..

 

I have Asics and never feel fatigue. I do with Nike and New Balance.

Personal choice though, as with anything else.

 

I wear New Balance because they are available in multiple widths, D in my case. IMO the American made New Balance tend to fit better. Not being xenophobic, just my exerience.

 

For many years I have used New Balances specifically the 878, 879, 880, 881 then 882.
They replaced them with the 840 which was very uncomfortable and had the wrong build up angles for my feet. The 840v2 is not much better and I am on hunt for new shoes again as New Balance may have lost me after many years.

 

Asics Kayano 19 for me, my feet are in perfect condition after a marathon. Wish I could say the same for the rest of me!

I am wearing a now discontinued pair of Asics Gel-Excel 33s right now that I have had medium happiness with. I bought the newer version of them and handed them to my son after a month.

The next time I find a shoe I like, I will probably buy five pairs before they obsolete it.

 

Not sure what that means. Nike was founded by runner Phil Knight and coach Bill Bowerman in University of Oregon which is one of the running centers of the world.

Bowerman used to handmake shoes for his runners using waffle makers for the rubber sole. And Knight used to run 7 miles to work every morning. Nike works with runners (incl. olympic gold medalists) all the time. Knight is now of course a billionaire who has given hundreds of millions back to University of Oregon.

As for the OP, others here have provided answers recommending going to a good running shoe specialist store staffed by runners. Not just any Adidas or Nike store but a Running shoe store. Scotty's posts explained it.

Also Runner's world magazine always have shoe reviews tested by staff runners. Good info though everyone's feet, running style, distance etc are different.

Try Asics Gel Kayanos - I believe they're on Version 20 now -- the best runners I have ever owned - and I keep buying them every time
