Hello, I started running last week, but the second-hand champion’s shoes hurt so much on my feet. What are your recommended shoes?
The budget is between €50 and €130, but if it lasts longer, you can give it more. The foot width is quite wide, and it is a bit of an O beriberi. I don’t think it’s flat feet. I want good sneakers for everyday use and running with ankle support. Thank you.
Running shoes are not the perfect pair for all.
It is recommended to take fitting at a running specialty store. In most stores, you can try on it.
Yes! This is the best answer. If you are a local running specialist, you will be fitting the shoes that best fit your stride. If you tell us your budget in advance, you will propose the perfect shoe.
Saucony may fit. It is slightly thick compared to lightweight running shoes, but it is a reliable stability shoe. Cushioning is not too soft, it is perfect for everyday running, it is also useful for O-legs. For support, ASICS GELKAYANO (slightly expensive) is also recommended. It fits a wide range of legs and has durability to withstand long-distance running.
Previously, when I was looking for a new shoe, I listed the candidates on the same budget. It may be helpful (link here). There are several other good options.
If possible, try fitting at a local running specialty store. You usually observe your stride and propose a model that balances comfort, support and durability. Even if you do not purchase it, the information makes online shopping much easier.
Go to the running shop and try the brand and style that best suits you. Personally, I love Brooks, and I often see my favorite running shoe (ghost) selling for nearly €100.
To be honest, there are many factors to consider. Foot width, O-legs, daily use, running style etc.
At a high price of more than $150, you’ll find very long-lasting shoes with excellent support and cushioning, but honestly for most people it’s more expensive than necessary. Shoes in the middle price range are Tamaishi mixed, some are excellent in durability, others feel immediately and narrowly. The low price range of 40 to 50 dollars is big, but personally I think this is the best price range for beginners. Especially at a stage where you don’t know what’s going to suit you, you don’t have to spend more money. Find a wide toe box with a toe, zero drop or low drop, and a lightweight cushion to prevent foot pain. Link shoes pretty close to your requirements. I hope it will be helpful!
Used shoes are the cause of the problem. Especially in the case of used shoes, it is already familiar to the feet of others, and it is very dangerous to wear when exercising. It can cause serious foot trouble and cost thousands of dollars in healthcare. Shoes should not be bought cheap.
The only shoes I buy second-hand are hard shoe soles like women’s high heels. Most of these are discarded only once and are virtually as new. Hard sole shoes like women’s heels are not familiar to the feet, like exercise shoes made mainly of foam material. Foam shoes start to fit your feet in a few hours.
Running shoes have large individual differences and do not exist in all sizes. Buy a 100-120 dollar model and move to a higher price zone if you’re still not comfortable. If the size matches, you can save by purchasing the old model. There is no problem if it is new and fit shoes.
Before jumping into a flashy model, let’s know what really matters. Explanation of fit, cushionability and stability, and tips to choose within budget are also introduced. This eliminates the pain in the foot.
Long distance runner for many years.
First, Champions is trash. Next, your budget is the retail price range for the finest running shoes.
The first leg is fitted in a specialized running shop, and it is recommended to check the appropriate size and running form (neutral cushion stability, etc.). Buy from the shop and then buy the old model online for a $30-50 discount after the new launch. New models are released every year, but usually only a few changes.
Personally, I needed stability shoes, and Brooks adrenaline was fitted. I am still running with Brooks’ new model, but I have tried other stable shoes. For your reference, ASICS KAYANO, HOKA ARAHI, SAUCONY GUIDE, NEW BALANCE 860 and MIZUNO INSPIRE were also satisfied.
As another saving tip, after wearing it at 300-500 miles (approx. 480-800 km), you can convert it to a gym or a regular walk.
I wish you the success of running!
Read Christopher McDougall’s Bone to Run before randomly throwing money into shoes.
The nonsense of running shoes made since 1985 is all created by the marketing department.
My favorite running shoe is Zero Speed Force 2, but if you don’t understand the Bone to Run, you probably won’t be satisfied.
It is the same opinion as you. We recommend going to a running shoe specialty store. Measure your feet, observe how to walk, and propose shoes according to the shape and arch of your feet.
Personally, it is the Cliftonian school of HOKA. I have a high arch and tried Brooks, Asics and Nike before going to a running specialty store. All my legs hurt. Since HOKA was recommended at the store, there has been no leg pain at all. CURREX insoles are also used for high arches.
Replace every 400 miles regardless of the type of shoe. Purchase new shoes before you wear them, and use them while changing until the new shoes become familiar.
Yeah, as others say, you can go to a running specialty store and get fitting. Most stores handle all major brands, and the biggest difference is how to fitting. The fit is completely different depending on the brand. There are some brands that have a strange cushioning nature, and it goes very well with some people, but it makes me very uncomfortable.
You should be able to respond well within the budget, especially if you choose the previous year model or color. Don’t hesitate to tell the clerk that you have a budget or are looking for clearance items. If you are selling expensive products, you might want to look for another store (I don’t have that experience personally).
Enjoy running!
It is recommended to go to a running specialty shop, try on various shoes, and listen to the opinions of experienced runners. If you find some shoes that fit you, or at least you know your favorite “specs,” you’ll know what to look for next. For example, for a wide foot, you should choose a size that is 0.5 to 1 size, a wide model, or an extra wide model. Try on everything at the store.
I usually buy on Amazon after the brand launches a new one. The old model is greatly reduced, and the model may also be targeted before. The ASICS GT-2000 11 was purchased for $60 a foot last year. Brands usually release new models in spring and autumn.
For deals, this site created by Reddit users is recommended, but please check the return policy of each site, read the review, try on if possible. This user of r/RunningShoeGeeks is also rated as a fair reviewer.
Added: Running shoes are easy to fail with Buy It From The LINK (BIFL). Comfort depends heavily on weight and walking pattern. Some have 1000 miles, but most are about 500 miles at most.
As you are saying, it is best to go to a good running specialty shop and consult.
I have tried various shoes such as Mizuno, Nike, Atom. I also tried wearing hoka, but it didn’t last as long as I thought. After all, it depends on what you want.
It is often said, “Do not ketch what is between the ground and yourself.”
I do not fully agree (I do not intend to pay tens of thousands of yen to the bed…), but I think it is reasonable.
Don’t do it too much (the budget is reasonable, and you should definitely find a good shoe in that range), but don’t get hurt by ketching shoes.
