Long List of Shoes! (Read 669 times)

I have been researching shoes on the net. I have found many shoes in my price range (>65$) that may be good for my high archs. Since I hae never really bought running shoes before I need some advice. If you can compare two on the list that would be great. I would just like to hear about your experiences. Of course once I narrow the list a little I will go try some on and see. Saucony grid ignition grid cohesion nx grid c2 roadster grid triumph 3 progrid trigon 5 ride Asics gel maverick 2 gel strike gel kanabarra 3 gel cumulus gel equation New Balance w881 w755 w754 w664 Adidas spectrum bounce + microbounce + spectrum fila providence II or III nike air refresh + Mizuno wave rider 10 ok so if you have any of these or have heard about them please help me.

Here's my advice: Go to a shoe store (I'd advocate a running shoe specialty store) and TRY SOME ON. Tell them how much you run, what your running plans are. Take a couple pairs of your old shoes so they can judge your stride/wear pattern. What Joe or Jane Doe may say fits out of that selection may not work at all for you. And if you are new to running: I wish you luck. You'll find lots of good info on this site. Watch for that dog, too.

Good advice by all......but I remember you to say the nearest running store is 500km....which in the US is just a little over 300 miles........so although good advice, it may a little tough for you to apply...... I cant compare because I havent used any of the shoes stated.........but I can only tell you that I'm a New Balance kind of guy (doesnt mean they are better then the others, just means I like NB) NB are a little heavier then some other brands, but most of the weight is in padding and I like as much padding as I can get..... I personally dont think you can go wrong with NB.......but pleny of others may say the same about other brands... You also may want to check out he NB 1223 - they will cost a little more, but I got some a few weeks ago and really like them.........
