Running Workout Shoes

Top Five Running Shoes Available In 2011

Recently people in the United States have started to become more aware of America's obesity problem. In the past five years I have noticed a dramatic increase in the amount of people running in and around my neighborhood.

Running is a great way to burn calories and tone the body at the same time allowing you to enjoy some fresh air. As more people run outside for exercise it is important that they choose the right running shoe.

Although running is a cheap and easy way to help keep in shape, there are some negatives to this activity. The hard ground can cause shin splints, aggravate knees, and even cause issues in the lower back.

Buying a proper pair of shoes can help keep these negative side effects to a minimum.  I have done some research and would like to share the top five best running shoes for 2001.

1.       Nike Air Zoom Vomero+2 ($120) - The toe, arch, and heel were specifically designed to help cut down on the amount of impact each step has on the ligaments around the knee cap.

 

2.       Brook Glycerin 6 ($125) - These shoes are extremely comfortable in that they hug the curves of your foot perfectly. Also , the breath-ability in the glycerin's is among the best of any running shoe on the market

 

3.       Reebok Zigtech ($109) – The Zigtechs have a soft sole that gives the runner a sense that there is a shock absorber on the bottom of their feet. This technology allows for longer runs with a lot less stress on the lower back, knees, and shins.

 

4.       Mizuno Wave Creation 11 ($134) – The Wave Creations also have a good shock absorbing sole that results in less stress in the knee's and back. Also, the rugged out-soles will help them last longer than the majority of comparable running shoes.

 

5.       Asics Gel-Ds Sky Speed ($105) – These shoes are some of the lightest running shoes on the market. At just over nine ounces these Asics will make it feel like you're running barefoot, but give you the confidence of knowing you have a top of the line running shoe.

 

There are many other shoes that are less money and will help support the foot when enduring a strenuous running workout. When determining which running shoe to buy, first consider the running route itself.

If you are going to be running outside through a dirt path you will want to get a harder sole that will last from wear and tear at the same time keeping your feet protected from rocks and debris.

If you plan to run primarily on a treadmill something light weight with a soft sole will work just fine. Also, being indoors you will want to get a pair of shoes that will let your feet breathe easier.

When determining the right pair of running shoes consider the route you will be running and how vigorously you plan to run.  Typically trying on multiple pairs of shoes will help discover which shoes are right for you. Also, a shoe salesman will also be able to guide you through different features to help the shopping process easier
