on 9/14/2009 Great advice for a runner. Personally, I've invested in an expensive pair of sneakers and a great pair of inserts. My feet never felt so good when I run. Got em at Foot Solutions (and no I don't work for them in any way shape or form!). Thanks for great article. 5+

on 4/24/2009 Great advice. I am looking into investing in good running shoes, since I destroyed my knees last time I decided to become a runner. Will be more careful this time!

on 7/3/2008 I agree with calibrater. It is people who are not so adapted to running who often need the most protection. Finding the right shoe for you is more important than what it costs. Be careful of reading too much into sole wear as this often causes confusion. Wear on the outside of the heel is from landing and doesn't show your feet stay on the outside. There is a good guide to shoes and what different models are designed for at www.shoeguide.co.uk

on 6/19/2008 "Consider the amount of running you will be doing. This tells you whether you should buy an elite running shoe or a basic model. The more intense the running, the more money you'll want to spend on the shoes. "
Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but I think I disagree with this point. Newer model shoes tend to be a little more pricey than an older year, but that doesn't mean they are any better.
I would discourage anyone from buying a shoe based on price alone. In my opinion a (really) cheap shoe probably isn't worth getting, but neither is one with a lot of 'features'. A good, quality shoe that fits well is worth whatever it costs, but you can usually find them for not too much.

on 4/24/2008 I really didn't know what to look for in shoes. I think I can buy with confidence now.
