Any runners around?
-
Interested in running shoes and type. There are cushioning, motion control and many other variety...
I am not a regular runner, just perhaps 2 times a week, short distance.
To me, I don't really know what is the importance of having the right running shoes that fits my feet. I don't have flat foot, no experience of pain and stuff after run. -
No runner in here?

give the link to the article you post about running shoes laOriginally posted by seotiblizzard: -
well, u can go running lab, and have yr foot analysis.
It depends on what foot type you belong to. 3 kinds, normal arch, low and high arch, and of course, flat footed.
After u determine yr arch, then you will see which type of pronation you have. They have inner and outer pronation.
After which, you will determine which type of shoes are suitable for you. As the TS has mentioned, there are cushion, support, stability, etc...
On top of these, there are medium and high for each type
For brands, asics and mizuno are 2 of the more popular running shoes around. There are others like sacouny, NB, etc
the people in running lab, runs a free test for you, and they will recommend to you, which type of shoes are suitable for you. Then you can slowly decide on the brand...
hope that help -
running lab is at funan the it mall. you can visit the shop there for an analysis. or you can visit newbalance concept shop @ novena square, velocity. they do analysis for your feet as well.
just a easy guide, high arches normally go for cushioning shoes, as their feet arch is too hard and cannot collapse easily to absorb the impact.
normal arches can go for cushioning shoes as well.
low arches can go for stability shoes. this shoes prevents the feet from rolling inwards, hence reducing the chances of ankle/knee injuries.
flatfeet are advised to go for high stability/motion control shoes.
