The best racing shoes for a high school runner that competes in the 800m, mile, and sometimes the 2 mile.?

I%26#039;m looking for a light weight shoe to race in. If you would like just throw names out there because in know most of the shoes that are popular, but have no clue which shoe would be best for me. If it helps a run a 2:02 800m, 4:45 mile.

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!
Reply:Why don%26#039;t you look at this website. It%26#039;s pretty helpful.

It divides the different types of events with the shoe type.
