Running Shoes For Someone W/ Bad Back! |
Question:
I am looking for a pair of running
shoes for a guy in his mid-forties
who runs maybe 20 miles in a week.
I’ve been wearing Nike Airs
for about 10 years since a guy at
a shoe store recommended them to correct
a tendency to wear the outside of
the shoe much faster than the inside.
I’ve been pretty satisfied with
the Nikes but I started to develop
some back pain. Is there was anything
better out there? I recently visited
a couple of athletic shoe stores but
was unable to get any intelligent
advice from the stores’ clerks.
Will someone please offer some advice?
Answer:
I also pronate and have found the
Asics 2050s to be good for this. However,
the back pain is probably something
else. I now do back exercises most
days and have found this does help.
It would be very long and tedious
to try to describe these exercises
but I don’t know a web site
that shows them. Try surfing for ‘back
exercises’. If you like Nikes
you might want to consider the Nike
Air Structures. They’re a much
more stable and cushioned shoe than
the regular Nike Air.
