What's the difference between running shoes and weight lifting shoes?
I was looking online for some running shoes and came across weight lifting shoes and wanted to know what the difference was between the two. I run and weight and know that running shoes can better your performance by a ton when you run long distances but do weight lifting shoes do the same when lifting? If so how? Thanks to all who answered.
admin answers:
Running shoes help absorb the shock put on your muscles and joints when you run, where weightlifting shoes help your body position into a more natural and efficient weight lifting form.
P.s. Using the wrong shoes for running may injure you, but using the wrong shoes for weightlifting should not do any physical harm!

What brand and model of running shoes do you train in? What are your favourite running shoes?
Hi everyone :) I've been doing a bit of research, but I want to know what your opinion is. What running shoes do you run in: please specify brand and model. I run in Nike Air Zoom Elite 4 but am looking for a change, possibly to the Nike Air Pegasus or Asics Gel Kayano or DS Trainers. What have been your favourite running shoes and why? What are your suggestions? Thanks so much :) :) 10pts for best answer

HI. I've worn quite a lot of running shoes, mainly Nike, Puma, and Asics. I'd have to say i prefer asics the most. My current ones are Asics Gel - 105. I've also switched to Asics for footy boots too. I used to get real painful knee and achilles soreness, but since asics, they're not nearly as bad. There's players in The AFL (Australian Football League) who swear by asics. Tyson Stenglein, wears asics, despite Puma sponsoring his team, he just put the puma logo over them. Joel Selwood, an absolute gun, is a personally sponsored by Asics, and had severe shin splints when he was younger, and with asics, the pain was rapidly reduced. They certaintly don't make you any slower, and they're great for your feet and legs. Only shoe i know of reccomended by "Sports Medicine Australia". When i was younger, i tried to wear puma, as they sponsored my Favourite team, but they just werent that great, and i had to much pain. Since Asics, i havent looked back. Im always going to get Asic from now on. Hope this helps.
Linda asks…
What can running in shoes that are a little narrow do to the health of my feet?
The width of my feet are in between medium and wide. I just bought running shoes in medium width because they didn't have wides. They're a little tight but not that bad though they could stand to be a little roomier. I was curious to know what wearing shoes that are too narrow could do to my feet while running? Is it bad for my feet? What kind of problems could I run into?
admin answers:
Last year my girlfriend had shoes that were to narrow. After a month of wearing them she ended up with a bruised bone in her foot. The shoe was squeezing the bones near her toes together and cause the damage. These were not running shoes just everyday shoes. It took about 3 months to heal. I would suggest getting the size and shape you need.
Be Well!!

Are good running shoes supposed to make your feet feel like they are sticking to the ground?
I bought a pair of saucony running shoes today and when I tried them out on pavement it felt like every time i lifted my feet it took some effort to un-stick them from the ground. I found this kind of annoying so I took them off and debating returning them. Is this what all good running shoes should feel like?
admin answers:
How odd, Saucony are generally known to be some of the best shoes for running, although I never wore any, having instead had experience with Asics and Nike.
If a running shoe is good you should, generally speaking, not notice it, that is it shouldn't be too heavy and it should ergonomically aid your running in a way that does not harm your joints, tendons and ligaments, and it sounds like this is not what this shoe is doing for you.
If you feel the shoe is defective absolutely do take it back.
But if you're not sure you may want to try to search for other user's experiences with that shoe, maybe the sole needs to be worn a little, but it does sound weird.
It might also help to know what Saucony model you have purchased.
Donald asks…
What running shoes do you recommend for jogging?
Looking for a pair of running shoes for joggin. I would be jogging outdoors on grass, the track and sometimes pavement. I heard asics shoes are good but i dont know what model.
admin answers:
You have to get individually fitted in a running specialty shop. You're worried about things like fit and function first and foremost, not brand. What's best for you is going to vary with your individual arch, pronation, shape of your foot, etc.
Nobody else can truly recommend a model, or even brand, for you.
