Pete Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 The dude is asking for advice on running shoes, not medical advice. The bigger question is more likely, why do YOU see a problem with this? Jesus. or handicapped parking spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 New Balance! I believe New Balance is the only sneaker made in America too. Not in some third world sweat shop Saucony is also made in the USA. I have been happy with their shoes. Here is some quick advice when getting back into running. Start off with short distances for a few weeks. Even with good shoes your shins will be in pain if you push too hard too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 NOVA did a special on if they could take non runners and train them to be marathon runners. There were 13 random people who stuck with the program and 12 of 13 completed the marathon after training. Here is the sight- they have info when episodes are gonna re-air, and there is lots of great training info, especially for beginners. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/marathon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 They aren't running shoes, but if you want a show that is quality and durable, Go with Lugz. I have had 3 pairs in the last 8 years and I wear them daily to work and everywhere I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Miner Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 The dude is asking for advice on running shoes, not medical advice. The bigger question is more likely, why do YOU see a problem with this? Jesus. Jesus is the answer. But probably not to that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardy Pyle Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 First step is to figure out if you are a overpronator, neutral, or underpronator? Then select shoes based on this, rather than on Brand. I think they are all pretty good, just depends on preference. My one advice is stretch, stretch and then stretch some more after workouts. An ounce of prevention........., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spun Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Nothing yet. My primary Dr. looked at it and referred my to a podiatrist. After talking to him and doing some research on it, it looks like surgery is the only way. I've had mine for about 6-8 months. Its not going to go away, I'm afraid. No, on the arch supports and orthotics. Its bothersom, but I keep procrastinating. I am going to check out a local Good Feet store about orthotics. I had a pair in the past but I wore them out and never bought new ones. Over the time that I injured my foot I stopped stretching. Did not stretching lead to the injury? I don't know but I am going to start some gentle stretching to see if it aids the healing. I have talked to a few runners who had doubts that the plantar fisciitis is chronic. On another topic, one asked why go to this board asking about running shoes, etc., well, by looking at how many people have TSW accounts (thousands) and all the varied backgrounds they represent, why not ask? There is a wealth of info on this wall along with some great entertainment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZC-Boston Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I blew out my Air Max 360s (which I absolutely loved) on a run over the weekend so I went to the local running store (Athlete's Foot) and they suggested the Nike Air Zoom Vomero. I tried them on and they felt great. I haven't run in them yet but I can't wait to get out tomorrow and see how they feel. I'll report back later.

Philly McButterpants Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 New Balance. They have shoes for in-steps and out-steps and all kinds of widths. They always have some sort of sale going on (Free Shipping, $10 off $75 purchase). I had a pair of New Balance running shoes last spring . . . the interior linng on the left shoe tore within 2 weeks and caused blisters on my heel . . . Not sure if that is worthy of condeming the entire brand, but I'll never buy NB running shoes again . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
