Question:
I'm gonna go back to exercising
again, so I am gonna invest in a
nice pair of cross trainers and/or
running shoes. I don't have a particular
price range, but something that's
very comfortable, good for the feet,
and if possible, also fashionable
as well!!
I know some of the latest styles
have been very stylish, but I'm
not sure how well they perform.
Also, in your recommendation, please
let me know what purpose (running,
walking, aerobics, x-training) they're
for.
Answer:
An important thing to note when
buying running shoes is that what's
right for one person is not necessarily
right for another, so don't get
shoes just because someone else
likes them.
If you are
in/around Michigan, you might want
to try stores like Running Fit,
Hanson's Running Shop, Total Runner,
etc. Go to runmichigan.com for directions.
And for running/excercise apparal,
you might want to try the Nike Dri-Fit
Tank Top (the thick strap one with
a built in bra) and Nike Dri-Fit
Shorts. I have had exetremely good
luck with these; they are awesome
for running/working out in hot weather,
and they are one of the few things
I actually like from the Nike line
(many runners tend to stay away
from Nike shoes because they are
built mostly for fashion and not
really for running).
I've tried
all sorts of expensive brand name
shoes but have found that the Nikes
work best for me. Your mileage will
almost certainly vary. Don't forget
the importance of truly comfortable
socks. For that, I do have a rec.:
Hanes World's Most Comfortable Socks.
I wear them inside out.
