You might think it is ok or fine to wear your everyday tennis shoes while running. In theory yes, it is, but you might be doing more harm than good. To find out more about why you should invest in a pair of good running shoes just for that sole purpose visit this Footworks site.
Shoes: According to Heavy.com, here are a couple pairs of shoes that ranked as the best running shoes for men and women.
Men's: New Balance Men’s M890v4 Neutral Light Running Shoe (Price: $47.05 - $109.95)
Serious runners looking for a neutral pronation shoe that’s lightweight and comfortable should strongly consider the men’s New Balance 890v4. This shoe features a seamless FantomFit upper that comfortably conforms to feet without restricting their movement. A well-designed midfoot cradles the foot and provides just enough cushioning for neutral feet. If you prefer lightweight, springy shoes, you’ll love the REVlit platform, especially on harder pavement surfaces.

For Extra Support:
** For extra support, I always run with an orthotic insole in my shoe. It adds an extra support for my arch and actually helps to keep my knees and hips from any pain during and after my run. There are some that are soft, but you need to go with one that is tough enough and will last. My personal preference is Orthaheel. Click here to find out more about them.
