Question : Best running shoes for cushion support? What to get?
It's a choice between Asics Gel Nimbus or Adidas Supernova Cushion 7s..... whats the best out of these two only?
Thanks!
Answer:
Honestly, I wouldn't listen to people's recommendations on here. Their footstrike is probably different than yours. Their foot shape could even be different. All of these things could effect what is good for you vs good for them. I would go to a running store and have them fit you with shoes. Try both on. And also, be open to possibly getting a different pair of shoes if neither one works out.

Question : What kind of running shoes should I buy?
My ankles are slightly pronated (they curve inwards) and tend to get sore after I exercise. Should I buy cushioned, stabilized, or lightweight, etc. running shoes?
Answer:
I don't know where you live, but where I live in Southern California, their are two shoe shops highly esteemed in my opinon: Fleet Feet, and A Snail's Pace. I suggest looking those stores up online and see if there are any locations near you. Anyways, they do a rigorous examination of your shoe, and then they choose the shoe they think is the best for you, you run around in them for 5-10 minutes, if you like them buy them, if you don't they pick another one. Usually they know which shoe is best for you. You might also want to do some research online and see if any shoes are specifically made for your case, because I know they make shoes with different support levels, and even shoes for flat feet. Also, before you buy them, make sure you run in them for a good 10 minutes around the store, walking up and down the aisle won't tell you whether they will hurt after a while or not. Hope this helps!

Question : Why is too much cushion in a running shoe bad?
I read somebody saying that Nike Shox sucked because they have too much cushion... but how is that bad in a running shoe.. wouldn't you want a lot of "shock" to absorm the impact? I know I would.. I currently have shinsplints in my left leg, and achilles tendinitis in my right heel.... I think cushion is a might fine idea.. lol
Answer:
You have to have a shoe that is best for you.
Some people need a soft shoe, the problem is if it has too much cushion you do not have as much control.
Meaning that your foot moves around, and if you have ankle problems you are more prone to injury.
Also if you have a foot plant problem you are not going to have the correct that was designed in the shoe if the cushion is too soft.

Question : I'm a high mileage runner and need a new stability/very cushioned running shoe. What do you suggest?
I need cushion on my forefoot and the rest of my foot. I run in Nike Equalon 2+ and they are too squishy and flatten out after just 50 miles. I loved the straight Nike Kantara and Nike Equalon+, but they are discontinued. Please help!
Answer:
Well since you know that you need a stability/ very cushioned running shoe, then you probably already know that the skylon is definitely not for you. Its a neutral shoe with medium cushioning.
Since you want a shoe with extra cushioning, the following would fall under what I like to call the Cadillac running shoes series: Asics Kayano, Nike Equalon, and the Brooks Infiniti. I highly recommend the Brooks Infiniti. It is definitely the most cushioned stability shoe on the market. And since its a Brooks Shoe, it is guaranteed to last you at least 350 miles before you start to feel the "bounce" diminish.
Hope that helps. Oh and I'm a collegiate runner who also works in a running specialty shop, so my suggestions aren't unfounded.

Question : Neutral cushioned running shoes?
I'm getting 2 new pairs of shoes to alternate. I have decided on the Asics Cumulus 9 for my first pair and am undecided on my second pair. I'm leaning towards the saucony progrid triumph or the nike air pegasus. I'm open to others though. I have medium to high arches.
Answer:
I have these Adidas shoes and I love them. They support my high arches very well. I run 2-3 miles a day, and my feet never hurt!!!!

Question : Impact protection vs. cushioning in running shoes?
Some shoes claim to have "superior cushioning", others "advanced impact protection." Difference?
Answer:
Marketing!
Too bad there are no accepted measures for impact reduction to allow such claims to be quantified.

my knees hurts before and now my heel too.
i gained weight,i need to cut weight on my upper body,so my lower body wont have too much pressure
i really need extreme cushioning.please help thank you
Answer:
I know how you feel. The most important aspect to me about a running shoe is the cushioning. I have always ran in assics and thought theses were the best, but I have not been impressed with how they have feeling lately. I just bought suconey triumph 4 and love them. They have the most cushion in a running shoe I have ever had. They have EXTREME CUSHIONING!
Good luck

Question : How Do I Wash My Running Shoes?
I have a pair of running shoes (not with spikes) and are white with 80% mesh. Is their any way i could wash them without damaging the cushion fibers advertised by the shoe. Will washing them in warm water no soap clean them ???
Answer:
If you don't want to damage the cushioning, I suggest that you wash only the exterior of the shoe by hand, using a liquid soap. Wipe the soap off with a wet cloth, and then dry them. I would try to not get the cushioning wet, and I would definitely not toss them in a washing machine.

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 : Is wearing "cushioned" running shoes alright for a neutral runner?
Is wearing "cushioned" running shoes alright for a neutral runner?
Answer:
Look you need to go to a specialty running store like Fleet Feet Sports. They size and get a good look at your feet. Then they put you on a tredmill and do a video analysis of oyur gait and feet to determine what type of sheo you should be wearing. But since you already know your a neutral runner a cushioned shoe is recommended. The thing is you need to try on different types of shoe to determine what fits you best. Since all feet are different all running shoe companies are different. And when you go up in price on a neutal shoe you are paying for more cushion. But i've seen people pick the cheaper shoe with less cushion without knowing the price because that is what feels good on your feet. So regaurdless if you're a neutral runner or someone who overpronates you just have to try different shoes out and the more you pay the more cushion the shoe is suppose to be depending on the feet.
