Comments on: Athletic shoes: What are "fashion athletic shoes" like Skechers? Can’t you still wear them to exercise? http://www.ramalhoshoes.com/athletic-shoes/athletic-shoes-what-are-fashion-athletic-shoes-like-skechers-cant-you-still-wear-them-to-exercise Wed, 24 Nov 2010 00:04:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Cool Guy http://www.ramalhoshoes.com/athletic-shoes/athletic-shoes-what-are-fashion-athletic-shoes-like-skechers-cant-you-still-wear-them-to-exercise/comment-page-1#comment-3690 Cool Guy Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:44:59 +0000 http://www.ramalhoshoes.com/athletic-shoes/athletic-shoes-what-are-fashion-athletic-shoes-like-skechers-cant-you-still-wear-them-to-exercise#comment-3690 I was doing three mile chip trail runs in some black slip-on sketchers for a few weeks because they were the lightest shoe I have ever come across. A few weeks later every morning, I began to get this tightening sensation on the bottom of my foot, almost like a cramping but not quite. I would stretch my foot via extending my toes and it went away a few days later. Started to use my New Balance shoes again (have moderate mileage on them) and the pain has never returned. In fact just did a 15k in my NB's and my feet never gave me any feedback! GREAT! Whatever you do buy what feels comfortable and what will encourage you to use them. Those Sketchers I was telling you about are still excellent shoes for all other things but running (for me).<br><b>References : </b><br>Past experience and huge fan of Sketchers and NB shoes.

Cheaply made. You want good quality shoes that are the right type for your feet. Good shoes are essential. Good support helps your back, knees, shins, and arches. Descent shoes are worth spending the extra money. If you are going to start running go with Asics. Or if you find you don't like Asics try brands like Saucony, New Balance or Brooks. Same thing for walking shoes. Nike's can also be a good choice depending on the model. The best thing you can do is to go to a store that specializes in running shoes. They carry a wide range of shoes from walking, cross training, running shoes, racing flats, racing spikes, triathlon shoes, etc. They will test your feet to see if you need a neutral shoe or a stability shoe. They will also look at your arches for you. You'll pay more than what you would for "Fashion" athletic shoes, but descent shoes are essential.<br><b>References : </b><br>I've been running and racing for years. DO NOT BUT SKETCHERS!

I'd recommend a pair of Asics: http://www.asics.co.uk/<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes they can be worn although I wouldn’t recommend it as they don’t have the right kind of padding and support that specially designed trainers do.
