Question : I want to open a running shoe store. Are there distributors who sell shoes only to retail stores?
I want to open a running shoe store. I will start as an oline retailer with the hope to open a neighborhood store soon. I am looking to buy shoes from 1 company who already has relationships with all of the running shoe stores. What companies do this. I've been searching on-line and cant find anything.
Answer:
contact a store in Jackson, Michigan called Step One. They have been in the exact business you are asking about. I don't have the phone number, but they probably have a web site. They are experts and have been in business for over 25 years.

Question : Will running in actual running shoes help me go faster and make running easier compared to basketball shoes?
Does running shoes compared to basketball shoes make running easier and make me go faster?
Answer:
they probably feel more comfortable when you are getting up and down the court, but basketball shoes are more supportive, have better grip (running shoes slide around way too much), more protection ( you don't want to risk a serious injury) and offer better side to side and lateral movement while running shoes offer better forward motion.
If your basketball shoes are bothering you, you should buy more comfortable basketball shoes that are lightweight and flexible. If you don't like mids or highs that grip your ankle , you should buy lows because they offer better traction and support that ordinary running shoes don't have. Plus they are lighter than mids or high basketball shoes.
Hope this helps!

Question : What are good mens running shoes to buy?
I run on pavement around my neighborhood. I try to do 3 miles a day. Maybe something with cushion/durability. What are some good mens running shoes?
Answer:
My favorite running shoes are Asics, just as everyone else said, but they are not for everyone. There are different types of shoes for different types of runners. It all depends on how you move your feet when you run: do you pronate (turn your foot inward) or supinate (roll your foot outward)? How heavy are you? How often do you run? Are you prone to injury? These are all things to consider when selecting the appropriate running shoe.
The best thing to do is to go to a nearby running specialty store. A worker there should talk with you and watch you run and can reccomend the right type of shoe for you. Good luck with your running.

Question : Where is a good place to buy running shoes in Taipei, Taiwan?
I am running in the marathon at Tarko Gorge in November. I need to pick up another pair of running shoes, but I have no idea where to go. I've been in Taiwan for 2 months so I know where to get shoes at night markets etc., but I need quality running shoes. It would be nice if there was a shoe or running specific store. It would also be nice if the store has people that speak English and could fit me for quality running shoes. Price is really not an issue.
Answer:
If you are wear it for the competition,don't but it at night markets.
You should buy it at department stores, sports wear store...etc.
In Taipei, go to Gongguan (公館) very close to Taiwan university, there are some sports wear shops there, price are resonable,quality is also good.
Every year from October in Taiwan, time for department store's on sale, buy everything ,they always has discount better than regular time.

check out this link. it shows you what kind of arch you have, which means it is easier to pick the perfect shoe for you! If you need arch support, I pretty much suggest shoes from asics. they are very comfortable! if you are looking for clothing, then I suggest these for shorts:http://www.anacondasports.com/ProductDisplay/10551/10201/173434/173409/139411.htm

Question : How long should I wear new running shoes before they're broken in enough to run a 5k?
I am running my first 5k in a few weeks and have been training in old running shoes. I want some new ones before the race, but am wondering how long I have to wear them before they're broken in enough. I know it probably depends on the shoe, but am wondering if there is a general rule of thumb.
Answer:
I remember the old days when running shoes needed 10 or 20 miles to loosen up. But nowadays, if the shoe fits, I never get blisters anymore.
Also a 5k is pretty short, you'd have a hard time getting blisters anyway unless the shoes were a bad fit.
So maybe one or two short runs should be enough.

Question : What are the best running shoes that promote forefoot running?
I heard forefoot running is the best and most efficient way to run. I saw these Newton shoes which were $175. Any other good runing shoes?
Answer:
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Forefoot running is how humans are made to run. Period.
Your knee is a shock absorber. Your ankle is a shock absorber. We've been babied into thinking that it's ok to heal strike - it's not. Heal striking sends a shockwave through your entire body and is the cause of most running injuries.
Secondly, $80 is the minimum MSRP (retail price though you may get them cheaper at outlets) for a good running shoe. Anything under $80 full retail is crap. Running Times did a search a year or two ago of stores like Kohls and Target for a decent off-brand running shoe and found 1 that was just ok.
Brooks makes some models, like the Glycerin, that have relatively small amounts of heal lift. Low heal lift makes forefoot running easier.

Question : What are some good running shoes that are cheap? And any tips on track running?
I'm looking for running shoes that aren't over $30. And any running tips that will help with endurance and gaining speed would be great!
Answer:
There are many good racing flats available for under $30, but be careful. Unless you are a very efficient runner used to running in minimal shoes you could be setting yourself up for an injury with them. Best bet - check out a local running store and have them recommend a shoe based on your footstrike. Most running stores will have shoes on clearance that they offer at deep discounts.
