Not shox. I personally use the Asics Kayano, but it's a lot of preference..

I personally run 30 miles a week and I have always worn shox so they are great running shoes but it is all preference. Try on different shoes and see what you like as everyone's foot it different.

try this link, and select "Shoe recommendations"; it should open us an excel spreadsheet that lists attributes of a variety of running shoe options.

Just don't use basketball shoes! Your shins will hate you. There are so many good shoes available, and what works for other people may not for you.

If you go to a runners store, you will get a better fitting shoe, and you can walk around and make sure it isn't hard under the bridge too close to your toes, and that they aren't too heavy. Some stores check for pronation/supination also, and can recommend specific models that will greatly increase your comfort. Once you know what you like, then you can bargain shop. A bargain shoe that is unusable is no bargain.

I personally think lighter is better, so I get Mizuno and Adidas. Sometimes a really nice pair of Nike are on sale, and I like them also. My foot width is narrow and Nike/Mizuno tend to run narrow and small.

If you are +225, Nike Air Max 180 appear to me to be the models of choice at 5k and 10k road runs. They are heavy, though.

Since I can't help it, I will offer additional advice-

Always, always, always run so that you are facing oncoming traffic in your lane. You want to see what hits you!

Stretch your back, hams, and calves before and after.

Tank up on water 2 hours prior to running.

I tried shox and they were killing my feet so I went with a pair of Asics.

Agree with everything said here. Although more expensive, my wife always go to a running store to get a good fit for her overpronation.

For running I wouldn't use shocks, one of the guys I work with that runs a lot had a pair and said they were horrible for running. I use Asics for half-marathons (I have no arch and they are the comfiest for me), New Balance are good too, I don't think they're as comfy as Asics but seem to last longer, also Brooks is a good brand. If you want to start running, I would suggest going to a running shoe store, they analyze your stride and the way your foot hits the ground and then sell you the right shoe. It does make a huge difference having the right shoe for your foot and stride. Good luck!

Agree with somone else, what works for my feet may not work for u and vice versa, try em on at a local store , walk around a bit. if u like then order them

For the younger crowd or the ignorant.. it's all about image most of the time, and they will get Nike's over New Balance, Asics, and brooks..

I too was like this and never even considered the other brands. But try them on and you might be surprised at how much more comfortable they are compared to the more expensive nike brand.

yeah i use Asics for running
