Whilst running (treadmill or outside) I notice my feet/legs absolutely fucking kill me after about 15 or 20 minutes.
At the moment I wear some no name brand skate shoes, could this be the leading factor in this?
If so, what are some good brands/shops to get some from?
Full Version: Shoes
get runners asap..
Skate shoes aren't designed to give you support they are only for fashion. Goto your closest athlete's foot and get tested. Look at asics and brooks shoes, only brands I would go for.
Expect to pay from $150 upto $250, but pricing should for you body shouldn't come at a price.

Quick reply mate, cheers.
Yeah my shoes are a bit of a wank, havnt skated in about 6 years.
I've actually noticed myself using the bikes, cross trainers etc more than the treadys because hitting the rubber mat hurts too much.
I think I'll invest in some sneakers!

Skate shoes will be fucken useless for running on a treadmill, so heavy and bulky!!! Those would be up there with the latest faggot fad of those white slip on shoe things you'd wear to the Valley or something.
But yeah as said you can pick up a good shoe for just over $100. It doesn't have to be the very very best on offer but just look for how light they are, how strong and well made the shoe is, if it has good foot support and if it feels comfortable on you and you'll be set.

Go for the best shoes you can afford i use a orthoheel in my shoes as this gives support and helps to stop pro nation and super nation of the feet.if you have flat feet the insole helps reduce ground reaction forces.As said you cant put a price on comfort.

Other than off the net? Hmmm, there are some powerlifters in my gym who wear those shoes, I'll ask them see where they got them from.
Whats the diff? More support?

I read a newpaper article that detailed the evolution of the running shoe. I think it was Nike that came up with the first basic design for track runners at universities around the 60's or 70's if I remember the article correctly. Anyway, the article stated that with the increase in running shoe technology and design has came an increase in running related injuries. I think it said that this was because of the way the old shoes used to force the runner to run with their back straight where as now you run on a forward lean.
The listed evidence of studies from respected professionals that had found that there higher the cost of the running shoe, the greater the chance of an injury, claiming that there was a direct co-relation! WTF!
It cited the native long distance desert runners who run all day in nothing but a pair of flat rubber sandals made from an old tyre and how they have no injuries from it. Can't remember where this was, think it was in Mexico or South America. Was an interesting article anyway.
I do my cardio in a pair of Reeboks that I got for $50 from that fitness shop in the valley opposite Cash Converters.

Do you still have this article you read in the paper if so i would like to read it and can i see who reference it. Iam not a no it all but most of the problems while running or jogging is GRF or ground reaction forces,this starts in the heel strike first,The reason i think that desert runners don't have many issues is that they run on sand.This i have studied in biomecanics at uni a number of years ago.
But mate if it works for you keep doing it.
cheers.

Sorry mate, I don't still have it.
I'm sure it was an extended article that was in the glossy magazine that comes as part of the Saturday edition of the Courier Mail.
I agree with running on sand but from memory the article mentioned that the runners covered a lot of rocky terrain and different surfaces. It might have been the Mohave desert, it was about six months ago that I read it. I can't say exactly how credible the sources were but I'm sure it was professors at a particular university.
I'd like to read it again myself, maybe they could hook me up with a copy of it if I email them, I'll try to remember to chase it up.

The article you would be talking about was the first Nike shoe ever put on the market the Nike Waffle back in the early 70's.
Nike now have a shoe that has gone back intime and represents bare foot running but with the protection of not get glass and sticks in you feet, it is called "Nike Free's". There are many different versions of this shoe on the market.
I myself have been running in Nike Free's now for 3-4 years and have not had an injury in this time, but before this I had injuries all the time from running the other brand name shoes, mind you I was doing 160km a week, but have done this sort of mileage in the "free's" with no ill effect on me at all. If anything I have been able to cut down on the mileage by half and still able to run around the same times as I was before.
