When running you definitely want the right pair of shoes on! Everyone has their own opinion on running shoes and what they like. I have used New Balance in the past and like them the best. They are light weight, yet stable when I run. I also have a pair of the Vibram 5 Finger shoes. Those are super light and fun to run in, but I had to change my running style when wearing those. Those shoes require you to land with a flat foot or even on the ball of your foot. You will hurt yourself if you have a heel strike in these type of minimalist shoes. When wearing the Vibram 5 Finger shoes, I am very concious of how i am landing when running. It's not a real "relaxing run" for me since I am constantly thinking about it. I try to land on the balls of my feet during the run. The next few days, however, my calves are VERY tight from running on the balls of my feet. They are fun shoes to run in, even though there is a lawsuit against them.
Do you have a favorite brand of shoes you prefer to run in? Let us know!
