I was recently looking for new running sneakers, and was getting annoyed that I had to navigate to so many different websites to find ones that would work. So each post this week will feature a new "category" of running sneakers, who they're best for, when they should be worn, and a listing of sneakers that fit the description (there may be some errors... and I gave up on trying to classify K-Swiss and New Balance sneakers).
Some things that are helpful to know about your personal biomechanics when looking for shoes is (1) what type of arch you have and (2) if you pronate. You might also want to consider your personal racing/training goals. For example, there are many lightweight sneakers that are now available which maybe better suited for track/tempo workouts, as well as races. However, if you're going to be spending a lot of time on the single-track trails of Umstead, you might want to look into a pair of trail sneakers versus regular trainers. As always, it's best to go to The Athlete's Foot to make sure you're running in the right type of shoe. #20
