Running Shoes

            Having good running shoes is an important part of running. If you don’t have good running shoes it can lead to possible injuries and even just make your experiences with running unenjoyable. Different running shoes work best with different people depending on your style of running and your feet so it can be a good idea to try different shoes until you find the ones that you think work the best for you.


            I have tried a couple different brands and have settled on Mizuno’s wave riders. I find my shoes to be comfortable and they don’t give me any injuries or blisters. Good running shoes can help you improve your running so it is important to find shoes that work for you. It is also important to make sure you are replacing your running shoes regularly especially if you put a lot of miles on your shoes. Even really good running shoes ware out eventually. I probably replace my running shoes twice a year.


            If you are not sure what shoes are good running shoes or what types of shoes would work best for you can go to a store that specializes in selling running shoes. When I need to buy new running shoes I always go to the store, Running Wild. One of my old assistant coaches used to work there and I think it is a great place to get your new running shoes. The staff helps you find good running shoes for you by watching you walk to see what kind of shoe would work best for your style. Running Wild also lets you run outside on the sidewalk or on a treadmill to see if you think the shoes are comfortable for running in.                       


            Another important thing to remember when you are buying shoes is it doesn’t matter what color or design your shoes are it is more important if they are comfortable and work well for you. The color or design of your shoes may factor in to your decision a little bit but it shouldn’t be the major deciding factor because your feet don’t really care what color of shoes they are wearing after a long run.


            Having new shoes is important to performing your best when you are running. You need to make sure you replace your warn out shoes and try to find the best shoe that works for you so you can try to avoid possible injuries.
