Looking for new running shoes !!

This blog article was published on November 23, 2008

Hello everyone,

 

I'm looking for a new running shoe. So far I have run the lightweight trainer from New Balance and now I would like to go one step further, towards support-free running.

My dream shoe would have the following properties: it is very flat (little drop) and, as a neutral shoe, has no support properties. But it can still be used for daily training, with a few damping properties and it should last about 800km 😉

In the end a mix of competition and trainer shoes. My toes are quite wide at the front, and Adidas and other brands with very narrow cuts are unfortunately not available.

If you have suggestions, always bring them up, just go to "Comments" under the text and write in, just like that ...

thanks

  3. Hello Krelli,

    the difference in the numbers at Nike Free expresses the “barefoot authenticity”. Stupid word, but I can't describe it better. A 0.0 would mean that you run barefoot, the higher the number, the more the shoe changes the barefoot behavior ... that's why it is always advised to start with 7.0 and "work your way up" to the 3.0, which is now available.

    To my shoe tip:
    I am now a Puma fan myself. Run (in addition to other manufacturers, of course), among other things, 3 pairs of Puma shoes for different purposes:

    1. Puma Roadracer: competition shoe, super flat, super straight, bright yellow

    2. Puma Complete Eutopia: My newest of the three Pumas, middle thing of training and competition shoe, low heel, quite tight cushioning, no support, very high torsional ability, comfortable fit - not as narrow as other Pumas - how about the one for yours Purposes?

    3. Puma Complete Phasis IV: Shoe for long, quiet sessions, stronger cushioning, moderate drop, unfortunately very tight in the ball area, so that I still get blisters every now and then ...

    In order not to give the impression that I would work at Puma: In addition to the three shoes, I also run Asics and Adidas, but they don't match your profile 😉

    greetings

  4. Hi Dennis,

    Wow!! What kind of shoe cabinet do you have ??? I like the cougar from the middle section, I'll take a closer look at it.

    By the way, it wouldn't matter if you worked at Puma ... what about a shopping discount :)))

  5. Well, I upgraded it consistently after I first had an ITBS and then had an inflammation of the shinbones ... at the moment I actually run 3 pairs really regularly (2 Puma, 1 Asics).

    if i would really work at puma, you would be guaranteed the discount ... but unfortunately it is not so

  6. Dennis, apparently the good runners all run several pairs of shoes at the same time. I slowly have to do that too, I've only run a few so far, but I'm slowly getting problems ...
    greetings

  7. Well, I think the good runners actually all run several pairs of shoes ... Unfortunately that doesn't mean that all runners who run several pairs of shoes are also good runners 😉
    For me, running is the ultimate problem discipline. But with a little less injury and bad health, I should probably get that under control.

  9. Hi Michael

    Know your problem ... for a while I hardly thought about which shoe I walked in ... only had one pair. Until the problems began ... back then I ran the Asics nimbus ... much too heavy ... much too strong bounce ect ...

    Now only run light trainers or even competition kicks without supports. Currently 4 pairs in use.
    I can recommend the Asics Gel Speedstar. Neutral shoe, 290g light and not too tight at the front

    Came very well with it in marathon training even on the 35s.
    Check it out. Oh yes, and it is also relatively durable (-;

    Greetings,

    Daniel
