Near Philly?
if you are I can recommend a guy who'll fit you - it's worth it and he did a great job getting me into some nice shoes for nothing extra if you're not - look into getting yourself looked at by a pro |

You should really be running in new, quality, fitted shoes.

Go to a fleet feet, lukes locker type store where they sell actual running shoes. Have one of the associates watch you run and get a recommendation.
Nikes and Mizunos fit and feel the best for me, can't stand Brooks, Asics, or Sauconys. I always bought running shoes off of the shelf at Academy, not any more. |

I also use arch mold supports. The blue ones. My knee /back pain stopped when running. But losing 50+ lbs helped that lmao. Even after a bad injury (lower back) they help. They ain't sexy looking compared to other shoes but I tired running n new balance ...avia..Nike St..I tried on the other big name runners..but went with Brooks... Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Put some Dr. Scholl's active insoles in today & they did help. We'll see if they help long term.

Me and my brother both run in Hoka's. They have a extra extra thick and flexible sole. I had ankle pain and almost gave up running from joint pain but the ugly hoka's made it actually pain free. I still don't lik running but I do way better with the hoka's. I wore out a pair last year and just bought a new set.
It's kind of like running on a temperpedic mattress. Try to find a running store to test out a pair. http://www.amazon.com/Hoka-One-Stinson-Trail-Running/dp/B00E0M9ZDC/ref=sr_1_1?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1403580979&sr=1-1&keywords=hoka+stinson |

Go to a running store and get your gait analyzed.
You run for a bit on a treadmill and they film you. They look and can detect issues like excess pronation or supination. These issues affect body geometry and can make knees, shins, hips, or even your back hurt. If you have excess pronation or supination they can recommend several shoes with support to address these concerns. Then you can pick based on fit, comfort, weight, or even something as silly as brand. |

How long after you run is it before your knee begins to hurt?

Anyway, I was having issues with the ball of my right foot hurting. I decided I needed some shoes so i went to a local store that specializes in running. I did the whole treadmill analyzation and they showed me how my right ankle rolls in on my right foot while running. Made perfect since for the pain I was having. He recommended some shoes with a medium support and had me try on several pairs to see which felt the best while running. |

I did the running store thing and they put me in some bulky and heavy Nikes. Drank the minimalist koolaid and haven't looked back. Of course, after finally finding a shoe I really like; it's been discontinued.

I Like Altra... they have some interesting ideas that seem to make sense.
if you need stability they have built shoes just for that http://www.altrarunning.com/fitness/en/Altra/Men/repetition-mens |

I've been running in Nike Structures for a while. Probably gone through 10-11 pairs in the last few years. Since they changed them in the 16's I'm looking elsewhere. Too stiff, hard sole, less support. |

Was wondering which of the minimalist footwear got discontinued. The Samsons. This pair I'm holding together with shoe goo. Altra sent me another pair for $20 after I found out they were discontinuing them; but I'm trying to hold out from using them as long as possible. They said they will not be making any minimalist shoes for the foreseeable future; which is odd because that's one of the things they were really big on when they started their company. If I didn't already have this second pair; I'd probably try out the Merrell Vapor Glove. Seems similar but even lighter weight. |

The minimalist category is really shrinking. Im sure companies that started because of it are having a hard time with their margins. |

I think the problem for companies (good for the consumer) is that minimalist shoes last so much longer than the traditional cushioned variety. The typical saying is that you need to change your running shoes every 200 miles because the cushioning wears out. Minimalist it's wear them until they fall apart.

The typical saying is that you need to change your running shoes every 200 400-500 miles because the cushioning wears out. Minimalist it's wear them until they fall apart. Well, youre kinda close. Everyones different, and it depends on the type of minimalist footwear. I'd agree that they tend to last longer than traditional shoes, but only because of the form change and the biomechanical response from the body from the GRF. And durability has no bearing on sales. Minimalist footwear went from 10% of the market in Q1 2012, to 3% of the market in Q4 2013. The bigger companies were able to absorb their loses, the smaller ones that only existed because of the minimalist boom, not so much. |

I hope they keep making them. I'd hate having to try to go back to heavily cushioned.
