Whether they’re being shown off in women’s health publications or you’re actually looking for options in the mall, running shoes these days often average around the price of $100. But as pointed out in a study by the folks at Run Repeat, “expensive running shoes are not better than more affordable ones.

It is absurd to think you have to spend $100 or even $70 for a good pair of running shoes. Nike and the other big shoe companies jumped on the bandwagon and gouged us all when the American running craze took-off in the 1970's. And they did it with little regard for how their shoes effect our health and physiology. Many running gurus are now attributing the propensity of running-related injuries to those over-padded, over-cushioned, over-designed shoes. Theory goes: those super-padded heels encourage us to strike down with our hees first, and then roll the foot inward and forward. But see, the way nature intended us to run was to land on our forefoot, or even the balls of our feet.

I wonder how many people know that running injuries have actually increased over the past 10-15 years? And no, not because there are simply more runners out there; I'm talking, increased per capita! Thus, these overpriced running shoes have actually been messing with our physiology and natural gait.LOL--then riddle me this: why has Nike and Vibram and a bunch of other guys NOW come up with new "minimalist" shoes, which do away with all the bells and whistles? And they do this right when all this new info comes out about how their old shoes were pretty much detrimental to our health. Seems as if Nike et. al will just market whatever the wind blows. If this kinda stuff interests you, read Chris McDougal's great book "Born to Run" which basically blew the lid off all this stuff and started the new minimalist, or even barefoot running craze. He has a nice chapter in it about Nike and their manipulation throughout the years. Meanwhile, as long as you have no weight or gait issues, go ahead and run in any ol' comfortable pair of shoe.

And when you do go and buy some new ones, just go to Wal-Mart and find whatever feels good and not pay of $45. 5,019 posts, read 11,665,419 times 2,187 posts, read 5,868,291 times Go to your local running store around the time that the new shoe models come out. They will sold last seasons shoes at pretty high discounts. You can also go to running forums and many of them have discount codes that help lower the cost but be sure to check them out at the running store first. Your gait can change and more importantly, your arch so it is important to be evaluated. I know you can get some great deals on Amazon, and several online stores. Since I started running so much, I put aside $10 a week for my running expense and I don't worry about the cost of shoes, entry fees, running gear, etc. It is known as my running allowance! 9,398 posts, read 19,961,023 times Originally Posted by PinkString Beware of buying shoes from those options.

Just like clothes often are as well. It is best not to skimp on running shoes because you may end up paying for it in the end with injuries. If you can't find that particular model of shoe on the shoe website for the manufacturer, there is a reason. I have noticed a lot of great priced running shoes at Kohl's. Too bad they were made for Kohl's and not the same as the website. Not all running shoes are expensive and any good running store will recommend the shoe that is best for you...not best for their profit margin.
