Choosing a pair of running shoes can be tricky business, especially with the constant influx of new technology and the latest trends. Many websites, magazines and runners’ forums hesitate to make specific recommendations because purchasing a pair of running shoes is such a personal decision. Different shoes may be better for different feet, or for different running styles and needs. Choose your shoes based on your arch type (low, normal or high). And be sure to take into account any injuries or deformities you may have (weak knees, bunions, hammertoes, etc.). You should refer to recommendations for specific shoes only after considering your own feet and running needs.
National Geographic recently rated running shoes based on runner “types” (amateur, marathoner, etc.) and these are their picks:
For the experienced and competitive runner (The Racer), National Geographic picked the Pearl Izumi Streak. This athletic shoe was chosen for its first-rate cushioning that supports the foot without decreasing the foot’s responsiveness. This shoe is best for distances of 5k.
For those of us who only hit the trail a couple of times a week (the Amateur), National Geographic recommends the Reebok Premier Bislett. This shoe is lightweight and provides cushioning and a smooth interior that should keep your feet comfortable.
