After purchasing a new pair of running shoes.....?

Is it ok to run long distances in them right away, or should I break them in first?

Break them in. Just use them on a few short runs, 2-3 miles before you go wearing them on 5+ runs.
Reply:running long distances is breaking them in but if you start to get blisters stop you're fun a little early. Just make sure that you have gotten used to the feel and support of the shoe and that you like it before diving right into a race
Reply:You should ALWAYS 'break your shoes in' before you wear them for 'a long period of time' ... and especially if you are 'running long distances' ... if you get a 'blister' or a 'sore spot' when you are running a long distance, how would you 'deal with that' pain and damage?
Reply:Typically if the shoe fits, you really should not have a big issue with runs. But if you are a longer distance runner 1/2 and full marathons I usually recommend breaking them in over a week or two of short runs. You want to be sure that they are not going to problem.

Reply:breaking in shoes actually refers to the cracking of the factory glue that holds the shoe together. Do this before you run in them. Wearing them to work or school, to the store and around the house will help the process. Have you looked into an after market insole yet? They are medically proven to boost performance naturally. Train Smart, not Hard

but if u feel otherwise, wear the shoes to work or school for 2 days before running in them.
