let's talk running shoes

Confession: currently, I'm running in a pair of New Balances that I have owned since approximately 2002 (I wish I was exaggerating)  I know it's terrible to run in them since they're that old, so I went on my lunch break over to the new balance store to get fitted and see if I had any issues I needed to know about.  I have a high arch, so they said I need something with a bit of support in that area.  What kind of shoes do you ladies have?

Sneakers have become so much lighter!!  seriously, the pair that I'm wearing now will feel like bricks now that I've tried on the new styles.  I didn't buy a pair today, I was nearly out of time on my break and I have commitment issues.

Re: let's talk running shoes

  • I run in Asics, because I have a high arch as well as having a wide instep. So a lot of the other brands pinch the front of my foot too much like Nike.  I just got them at DSW, the last pair came from Dicks. But I think I am going to try the running
  • I would have them recommend a pair or try a store like Fleet Feet that sell various brands and will guarantee the fit. Signed girl with a bunch of shoes that hurt her feet before she got smart.
  • My recent couple sneakers are asics. I used to wear new balance but they fit my arch weird. I feel like asics works best with my arch and I think they are comfy. 

    I pretty much just go to the store and try on everything. Then test it out at

  • Ah, Luckystar reminded me that I do wear a bigger size in my running shoes than I would in another shoe. So if you get fitted don't be weirded about if they suggest a bigger shoe either!
  • My sister has been a runner since high school, and she swears by her aasics. You definitely want running shoes. If you can, hit a running store and get some advice there.

  • Right now I'm running in a pair of old Adidas that I don't mind getting trashed at Color Me Rad. I figured since I was going to use them, I should train in them (though probably not ;). I'm thinking as my reward for finishing C25K and the race, I might go

  • yeah, once you know what works for you, you can just look for that style number online or in-store. Right now, I am wearing Asics but I am do for new shoes and I think I am going back to New Balances.

    As for messy 5Ks, I am doing the Dirty Girl

  • I'm running in a pair of Asics right now.  I would definitely recommend going to a running store and getting properly fitted! Don't just buy a random running shoe!

    I too am a big fan of elite runners and walkers.  They are kind too, and always get me the best running shoes...
