Arch/knee pain? time for new running shoes?

lately i have been experiencing severe arch pain when we go on distance runs (on pavement) as well as knee pain. is this because of my shoes? i got them in mid january 08. i run approx. 3miles and week days at track practice and 6miles on saturdays, and i run in them in meets (yeah i know i should get some new racing shoes). these are just training shoes. i have brooks. should i get new ones?

Arch/knee pain? time for new running shoes?
hii


yes, if you%26#039;re feet are hurting it%26#039;s probably time for new shoes.


FUNNN!


haha, but really.. you%26#039;re statistically supposed to switch running shoes every 10 months...


hope i helped
Reply:yeah, pretty much. but if the knee/arch pain doesn%26#039;t go away after ur new pair of shoes is worn in, then u need to talk to a trainer or a doctor, it culd turn out u have something wrong if the pain keeps comin.
Reply:Yes, get new shoes IMMEDIATELY. I have been out 4 weeks because of knee pain that I learned was tendenitis. As stated above, new shoes every 10 months or every 500 miles whichever comes first.

Which training shoes are best for 50-meter indoor track sprinting?

Not really interested in racing shoes, but just overall training/practice ones that are in the $50-100 price range. This is for high school indoor track, btw. Thanks.

Which training shoes are best for 50-meter indoor track sprinting?
if you%26#039;re doing 50m sprints then you training should consist of resistance training, plyometrics and sprints.





If you already have sprinting spikes and are looking for suitable shoes for the gym then go for something with plenty of support like the asics gel kayano,





If you want something for indoor training on a wooden floor look for something more along the lines of a squash or basketball as the blow-molded outsole in most trainers performs poorly on wood.





Finally, if you are training on an indoor track regularly then you should be wearing spikes. (this is fine for sprinters but longer distances can get away with trainers out of competition) I wear asics hyper sprints which I find perfect for my needs, but you can probably find something suitable from any big manufacturer. Dont forget to sit down as do some ground stretches or something between sets of sprints (or even take the spikes off) for the first few sessions until your feet and legs get used to them.

What shoes do i get.?
Go to a running shoe store and see what fits your foot and feels good. There are racing flats and cross country spikes, what you get depends on the courses you will be running.





Ask your coach what you need. The brand doesn%26#039;t matter all major brands make good quality shoes, the only thing that matters is how the shoe feels to you.

Track shoes?

i need a pair of racing shoes- good quality, comfortable, light weight shoes for track. i have a meet this friday and i can%26#039;t use my trainers cause they%26#039;re way too heavy. any good brands you guy know of or have had experience with?

Track shoes?
I wear asics and I love them..light weight and comfortable
Reply:it really depends on your feet


I recommend asking one of the staff members at dick%26#039;s or wherever you%26#039;re buying the shoes to take a look at your feet


it%26#039;s really important that you have good shoes for running, because prolonged pounding on the hard track usually leads to shin splints and other stuff you would want to avoid

How to Identify Fake Puma Shoes?

Hi. I%26#039;m currently in China, and I ran into a street vendor the other day selling Puma shoes. I dont know much about Puma shoes (hence being here), but i thought they looked real. He is selling the ones made out of fabrics with really thin soles. Some carry car logos so i think they are car racing shoes (narrow on the toe side). They looked kinda dirty and sizes are on the plus side...maybe that%26#039;s the reason they ended up on the street.





My question is, are there any puma signatures that I can use to distinguish fake from real? Those shoes all had the puma logo just above the toe, and inside the flap there is a sign says made in China and with 2 different sizing numbers (one US standards and one something else). Since they had fabric finishes and the soles are thin, it was hard for me to determine if it%26#039;s real or not. I think they are these:

Has anyone ever heard of Hyatt Horse Racing, Polo shoes?

Yes. Horses prone to stumbling can benifit from them,as the lower outside rim gives nicer feel and grip. Some think it might even speed them up.. Its your money!


If it stumbls for no organic reason, give it a go.

Has anyone ever heard of Hyatt Horse Racing, Polo shoes?
A Polo shoe has an internal rim that is higher than the outside rim. This increases traction and allows for quick stops and turns at high speeds. Like other shoes, they have 8 holes but on a polo horse, the end 2 are never used because they reduce the capacity of hoof expansion.





Hyatt Hotels has a program that is similiar to airlines frequent flyer miles and credit card companies points programs.

What's the difference between boxing shoes and car racing shoes?

They both have flat, grippy rubber soles and ankle support..


I%26#039;m having a hard time distinguishing between the two types of shoes, I can%26#039;t ask the shoeshop person because I live in a foreign country and i dont speak the language

What%26#039;s the difference between boxing shoes and car racing shoes?
Adidas makes a shoe with a Goodyear soul on it, a really really good shoe, it was made for driving but is an excellent boxing shoe. There is no differences really other then the Adidas brand has a contoured soul %26amp; boxing shoes are flat, other then that they are practically the same shoe but these will probably the best boxing shoe you will ever buy. Enter on the net %26quot;adidas goodyear GD05%26quot; which is the style %26amp; code. They come in several colors. In California there is a store in Montclair that sells them.
Reply:racing shoes are fire retardant boxing shoes I am guessing are not although I am not 100% sure on that.

some sort of nike%26#039;s. they are such great shoes. but only if you like them and feel good.
Reply:The best thing you can do is go down the a Running Lab. In fact there%26#039;s a place by that name; %26quot;Running Lab.%26quot;





They will have you take off your shoes, watch you walk, and even take an imprint of your foot. After doing so, they will spend a few minutes analyzing everything. They will ask you a few questions about your running style and your level of running.





Once they have finished they will direct you to a wall of shoes, that has ALL different brands of shoes on it and say something like; %26quot;These are what we recommend for you based on your foot%26#039;s shape, the way you run, where your foot actually impacts the ground and the width of slimness of your feet.





After they show you the selection, try a few pairs on, take them for a %26quot;test run%26quot; around the block and once you%26#039;ve found a pair that you like, then get them.





They are GREAT! My spouse has ran a marathon and we are training once again for another one coming up in May. We always go to the running lab. Oh...and the shoes, are sold at a great price too.





And there%26#039;s no extra charge for their services...it%26#039;s all part of what they do. So the whole process, from the moment you get in the door to the moment you select your shoes, is free.





I%26#039;ve personally used the Running Lab, along with my spouse and many others, they are FANTASTIC! And they have all kinds of different Brands of shoes. From Nike to New Balance. =)





Hope this helps...
Reply:If cost is no option, then I would go with the Nike Zoom Milers which are the lightest distance shoe out there, or perhaps the Asics Japan Thunder.
Reply:you would want a middle distance or a long distance track spike, depending on if you strike more with your heel or stay on your toes. the middle distance spike will have some cushion directly under the heel, but the long distance spike will have cushion under the whole foot. do not get a sprint spike, because they have no cushioning whatsoever. go to a dick%26#039;s sporting goods store near you to see what they have. they should have the nike zoom rival md as a middle distance spike, and various others by asics and adidas to suit your needs. good luck this year!

How much are my Rick Mears racing shoes worth?

I have a pair of Rick Mears autographed racing shoes with a letter from him detailing all of the tracks he wore them.

How much are my Rick Mears racing shoes worth?
Your letter from Mears which authenticates the racing shoes as his own and where he drove with them is invaluable to their marketability. If I were you, I%26#039;d look beyond ebay for selling them if that%26#039;s what you intend to do.





Remember, they%26#039;re only worth what someone is willing to pay...better increase your chances by marketing them to someone who is a HUGE Rick Mears fan. I%26#039;d buy them if I didn%26#039;t already have a full racing suit of his that he wore during the 1989 season. :)

Reply:Keep in mind that this question is in the Sports section. If you don%26#039;t know Rick Mears then you are a little young and unknowledgeable about racing. I%26#039;m not sure how much his shoes would be because he%26#039;s not a high-profile athelete.
Reply:I don%26#039;t know but that is a seriously cool piece of memorabilia. I would pay at least $1,000 if he was wearing them at any of his Indy wins. Try calling the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.





And to those of you who %26quot;answered%26quot; this question by asking who Rick Mears is, why respond at all if you don%26#039;t know? You%26#039;re just showing how ignorant you are by not recognizing one of the greatest drivers of all time.

What do you think of my poem "Racing Shoes?"?

--Racing Shoes





My old shoes are lovely


I carry them in a pillow case


When I feel lonely


I take them out and race





Sometimes I race against bikes


Sometimes against cars


With both of those I lose


But I always win with stars

Racing Shoes--Easy 10 points!?

Hello,


I am going to run in a track meet very soon. I%26#039;ll be running the 200 meter dash and the 4x100 relay. I was wondering what model of shoes I should buy. I am not allowed to use track spikes or any shoes that are made for spikes. I was wondering the New Balance 1001, the Asics Gel-Piranha, or the Adidas AdiZero PR? Basically I need a pair of racing flats best for shorter distances.





Thanks in advance! Easy 10 points!

Racing Shoes?

Are there any runners out there that can give me some pointers on finding a good racing shoe for cross country? This is my second year on varsity, but I was out with shin splints for much of last year%26#039;s season so I have no experience with racing flats.


Thanks =)

Racing Shoes?
What kind of shoes are better for training? And for racing? For everyone at our clinics we recommend light weight shoes with thin soles. There is a certain philosophy behind this recommendation, which consists of several concepts:





1. The shoes should be light, so that their weight didn%26#039;t deteriorate the feeling of the foot as a part of the leg. It means that the feeling of the foot wouldn%26#039;t differ from the feeling of the whole leg, psychologically. Biomechanically it may affect the foot transfer in space and time: its speed, acceleration, and trajectory, which could all be deteriorated by heavy shoes. We can deliberately use heavy shoes for some special occasions of strength development, but not for a long time, and surely not permanently.





2. The shoes should have thin soles, with no cushioning at all. It reduces the weight, but this is not the main reason. First of all, it allows you to develop a very precise, refined feeling of interaction between the foot and the ground, while landing. Obviously, it is impossible to do this through a thick shoe sole. In a movement, when every hundredth of a second counts (the time of support in best runners is 0.15-0.20 sec.), the support time is a crucial thing for neuro-muscular coordination. When the signal for the foot to touch the ground reaches the muscles and makes them prepare for landing, it%26#039;s already too late. And cushioning here is the factor which deteriorates timing and as a consequence, running technique, by increasing the time of support and due to this, loading of joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.





Second, a thick sole and cushioning increase the possibility of pronation or supination, if the runner has a tendency to it. Hence, it leads to injuries, and we%26#039;ll talk about this separately.





Third, in Pose Method landing occurs on the ball of the foot, not on the heel, so the thick shoe heel structure doesn%26#039;t make any sense. Even more, it reduces the freedom of the heel, and ankle movement and decreases the calf muscle stretching elasticity effect.
