Is it harmful to feet to run in cheap shoes?

Could be: This is hard to answer. As rule in my office, the better the shoes and support, the less the problems. Running injuries are a combination of four factors: 1 training errors(too much, too hard, etc), 2 foot structure/function, 3 shoe gear(wrong type, worn out, new?) and 4 surfaces you train on. Usually, it is a combination of several. Visit a good running store and discuss options for shoes. Dr l.

It can be: If you are running in cheap shoes without good support, you need to make sure that you are using an orthotic to support and cushion your foot.

YES: I personally think so. If you are going to run, you should invest in a name-brand shoe. It will be more expensive, but prevent injury in the future. Regards, Dr. Latva
