Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

16 years ago 05/27/2008 8:11pm EDT

It's that time again, time for new shoes. I have been wearing the Asics 21XXs and the Mizuno Wave Riders for the last couple of years.

Problems:

Asics 21XXs hurt and feel really uncomfortable for the first few weeks, but then they are fine and last for a long time.

Mizuno Wave Riders are the best feel and support that I've had, but they only last for a couple of months (and I'm not doing any high mileage).

Considerations: I'm a toe striker so I need lots of the impact absorbtion under the forefoot instead of the heel.

re: sure

go to a running store so they can get you the shoe that's right for your feet

Ds trainer is basically the 2130 but with less cushioning. If you are >150 then I think it would work well.

i would second the notion of going to a running shop and getting fitted. The fact that you are wearing the 21xx which is a stability shoe and the mizuno wave rider which is a neutral shoe shows that you have no idea what you are doing.

I can run in several types of shoes with no problems, except motion control models.

That doesnt make them the right shoes. There is a difference between running in several different types of stability shoes and then transferring between neutral and stability shoes for every day training. If you train in a stability shoe and race in a neutral racer thats one thing but every day training is different.

Both those shoes are high-heeled bricks for joggers - does it really matter? Just pick up something that's cheap and go with it.
