Question 2

how often should i change .my running shoes?

Accepted Answer

Normally: Every 500 miles of running on average. However, excessive ware can occur, so check them regularly.

Question 3

how do i choose the right running shoes for me?

Accepted Answer

Running shoes: That depends on the type of running.  If you are speed training , then an inflare last is for you as it gets you in the power phase faster. For longer distances and aerobic training , a straight last is best.  Your podiatrist can tell you more as there isn't enough space for me to tell you everything !  good luck.

Question 4

do i need to change the way i run or my running shoes?

Accepted Answer

It depends...: Your question does not mention your problem, but the general rule for updating running shoes is every 300-500 miles, every 9-12 months or sooner if there is significant wear of the tread on the sole. Changing running style can include a shorter/longer stride, cadence (steps/minute), how you footstrike, etc. Consult with a sports medicine physician to help you answer these questions!

Question 5

i am going to start working out at a gym, so what shoes should i buy running shoes or training shoes?

Accepted Answer

Either or: If you are working out at a gym, there is no reason to get fancy running shoes. I would suggest purchasing a pair of shoes that feels the best on your feet, whether they be running shoes or "cross trainers". If you plan on doing some running outside of the gym, the i would get the most comfortable running shoes you can find. I am a runner and asics are my favorites. Very comfortable!

Question 6

i am running 42 k a week  my weight 72k . my question when to change my running shoes . i need detailed answers please due to importance?

Accepted Answer

On average: Every 500 miles. This can vary depending on the shoe and how much wear and tear you put on it. Even if outer sole looks good, midsole underneath can still be worn down. Every 500 miles is a good rule of thumb.

Question 7

are inserts recommended for running shoes if you're gonna be doing long distances?

Accepted Answer

I recommend them: Try them and then you can see if they help you or not.

Question 8

what are the best long distance running shoes for over pronation?

Accepted Answer

I would recommend : An orthotic to control the biomechanics and worry less on which exact sneaker.

Question 9

how do i cure sesamoiditis? tried orthotics; minimal running shoes helped a little.

Accepted Answer

Need MRI: Sesamoid pain can be caused by avn or atress fractures of the sesamoid. Best test to determine the cause of sasamoid pain unresponsive to orthotics is a mri. Severe cases of sesamoiditis may require wearing a short leg walking boot with pressure relief under the the 1st metatarsal head. Severe cases unresponsive to everything may require excising the sesamoid.

Question 10

was told i should wear running shoes cause that makes you walk fast and lose weight fast. true?

Accepted Answer

Not sure that : A running shoe makes you walk faster than a shoe unless your running........
Excercise helps you lose weight. This is usually more comfy in a sneaker than shoe. Watching what you eat is important. If you watch what you eat better in a sneaker than shoe, than by all means wear sneakers, but its the watching what you eat part not whats on your feet part that really matters.
