Puma shoes because they are very light and confy. Also Nikie is good cause they support your foot better. They are not as light as Puma but they are still a very good shoe. So it depends on what you like while running.

The question about the best kind of running shoes to wear arises very often at our clinics and on our forum. It is really not easy for many runners and triathletes to make a proper choice in an ocean of information from the shoe making industry catalogues, ads, and press. The abundance of different designs around, all appealing to your eyes, makes the actual choice an almost unbearable suffering.





What kind of shoes are better for training? And for racing? For everyone at our clinics we recommend light weight shoes with thin soles. There is a certain philosophy behind this recommendation, which consists of several concepts:





1. The shoes should be light, so that their weight didn't deteriorate the feeling of the foot as a part of the leg. It means that the feeling of the foot wouldn't differ from the feeling of the whole leg, psychologically. Biomechanically it may affect the foot transfer in space and time: its speed, acceleration, and trajectory, which could all be deteriorated by heavy shoes. We can deliberately use heavy shoes for some special occasions of strength development, but not for a long time, and surely not permanently.





2. The shoes should have thin soles, with no cushioning at all. It reduces the weight, but this is not the main reason. First of all, it allows you to develop a very precise, refined feeling of interaction between the foot and the ground, while landing. Obviously, it is impossible to do this through a thick shoe sole. In a movement, when every hundredth of a second counts (the time of support in best runners is 0.15-0.20 sec.), the support time is a crucial thing for neuro-muscular coordination. When the signal for the foot to touch the ground reaches the muscles and makes them prepare for landing, it's already too late. And cushioning here is the factor which deteriorates timing and as a consequence, running technique, by increasing the time of support and due to this, loading of joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.





Second, a thick sole and cushioning increase the possibility of pronation or supination, if the runner has a tendency to it. Hence, it leads to injuries, and we'll talk about this separately.





Third, in Pose Method landing occurs on the ball of the foot, not on the heel, so the thick shoe heel structure doesn't make any sense. Even more, it reduces the freedom of the heel, and ankle movement and decreases the calf muscle stretching elasticity effect.
Reply:the best brand is of course nikes, my bro runs with his nike frees. i use the same
Reply:Air Max and Nike are good, but I think Adidas running shoes are best. Adidas running shoes have full-length EVA cushioning and a skeletal spike plate for lightness. They are really comfortable and support your ankle.





Make sure you get a running shoe that fits you well. Most athletes tend to say that getting a bigger running shoe size is best because it gives your feet a lot of room and space. But I think that having a running shoe that is perfect fit is better because with a bigger shoe your feet slide a lot and they tend to get a lot of blisters- eww. With a perfect size running shoe, your feet are more stable and you are more balanced when you run and your foot has direct contact with the shoe's supporting cushions.





Good running shoes cost about $80 to more than $100, but look around for good deals. A lot places have discounted good running shoes, such as Nordstrom Rack. Good and sometimes pricer running shoes always pay off in the end, unlike a lot of "good" cheaper shoes.





Well that's about all I could tell you about running shoes. Don't want to go on and on and bore you to death.. :) But I hope this helps ! Good luck in Cross Country !

Reply:When picking a running shoe the most important thing is that it is comfortable. How it looks doesn't matter. A good test is to take the shoes running up and down the aisles. If your feet don't get pinched or start aching they might be okay. You also want to go for light. Big clunky shoes are just going to slow you down and make running harder for you. If you aren't sure exactly what shoe to buy, you can always ask one of the employees. Some of them do know what they're talking about.
Reply:Pumas :D.
Reply:Mizuno's are the best running shoes I have ever had. I'm on my 5th pair. They have different kinds for the way you run. I went to a store called The Fort Worth running company and they put me on a treadmill to watch how my feet land when I run. And that's how they told me what the perfect pair of shoes were for me. They don't really cost that much more either.

Reply:I'd say light weight and definitely NOT board shoes those will give you cramps.
Reply:asics spikes are brill !!! comfortable, light weight, cool colours nd designs
Reply:actually, there isn't a "good" brand for cross country running shoes. you should go to a place like runners roost or some specialized running outfitter and they will look at your worn out shoes and have you run for them and they will pick the shoes for you. people on my cross country team own mainly asics actually, not because of looks (they are quite ugly in my opinion) but because of how well they work with and help your feet.





it's crazy how much it helps to actually go to one of these places. i really recommend it!








oh yeah, and i owned a pair of addidas and they blistered and made all my toes swollen, and they made my feet go numb, and it wasn't because they were too tight.





everyone's feet are different! go have someone tell you what you need! seriously!
Reply:I use Asics they are comfortable and lightweight. Good luck with your season!
