As I have started my workout routine with Sara, I am trying to run at least three times a week. Well, after running for 2.5 miles yesterday, I have developed some serious blisters on my feet from my old & worn out kicks. Now that I am in the market for a new pair, rather than going down to Footlocker and picking out whichever one I think looks best, I would like to purchase a pair of running shoes that are actually purposeful. I have always had good experiences from Nike, so I will probably pick another pair of them up unless someone here disagrees. Basically, I will be running about 10 miles a week, indoors for now and when it gets nicer, outdoors too. In the spring I would also like to get back into a little b-ball and maybe tennis/racquetball. I was thinking of either Nike Men’s Air Coos or Nike Men’s Air Max Assail III. Again, I have no real experience and just picked them out because they are Nike, I think they look good, the descriptions on Nike’s website sounds good, and they are right at the top of my price range ($50-75). Any advice or comments?
back when I sold shoes at Oshmanns, the runners often bought Saucony and New Balance. The main thing is to get what feels light and comfortable as the light shoe allows more endurance and comfort, well thats self explanatory. In the end, spend the money as it is a purchase that will make the difference!
Just cut out the middle man and hire your own Fillipino kids to make you shoes
Vietnamese, thank you very much!
I too am looking for new shoes for tennins and running and came upon a nice pair of asics for 80 bucks. they were out of my size at the time but I am looking to buy them as they are comfortable as all get out and breathe well. Check out Asics GT2110 at Dicks Sporting goods. Asics always served me well in Volleyball so I trust that they will perform well in my new endeavors.
Look for lightness and good fit. I’ve had good experience with Nike running shoes in the past. My New Balance are good, but a little too narrow for my wide feet. That’s what I get for buying shoes that were on sale.
I’ve always found Nikes to be too narrow across the bridge of your toes
