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.

Running Shoes: I am a podiatrist/reconstructive foot and ankle surgeon. I own a shoe store. You need a stable shoe. Saucony, asics, new balance are the best. Look for a pronation or motion control bar running through the center of the shoe. Barefoot running is a fad, and those shoes are bad for your feet. Barefoot running or minimilist running shoes cause stress fractures, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis...
