Sondra L. asked:I am lost without CCR. Where can we go to purchase running shoes in our area? I am aware of Dash up in Thomasville, but was wondering if any of you have recommendations for a store in Leon or Wakulla Counties.Jennifer H. replied:If CCR already fitted you in a shoe, you can maybe find it at Academy or Dick’s. Roadrunnersports.com has a great selection, free shipping, and 20% off if you become a VIP for $6 ish (if you can’t find your shoes locally).

Laura H. asked:I think I'm officially a convert form the road to the trail. I've now done Mile Run and Hyner and signed up for Rothrock. After Saturday I think it's time to invest in some trail shoes. I know there are TONS of opinions on what people prefer, but I know I'll need something with some stability- just the way I go. Any suggestions where to start? I currently run in Saucony Omni 13's. Been running saucony since high school.Laurie H. replied:I just order up the saucony peregrine every year from Road Runner. http://www.roadrunnersports.com. And you can send them back within 90 days if you don't like them! It's a great company if you're not familiar!

Jess O. asked:I need to have a gait analysis done before I buy new shoes. Does anybody have recommendations or know where the closest store that does this is? I'm hoping you all might know somewhere closer than Little Rock!Bruce O. replied:You can also get a foot analysis at the Batesville Walmart pharmacy section or Bryant's pharmacy -- they both have pressure plate setups for orthotic inserts (Dr Scholl's and such). You stand barefoot on the pressure plate and it reports whether you have a high, low or medium arch, which will give you an idea of what type of shoes to get. You can then also look at current athletic shoes and notice whether the wear pattern on the heel tends to angle toward the inside or outside or evenly down the middle, and whether the worst sole wear is at the heel or under the ball of your foot. Take all those answers and plug them into a shoe finder at the Web site of major brands or at roadrunnersports.com (See their "Shoe Dog" button). The finders will then suggest shoes that might suit and you can go shopping and try a few of the suggestions. The one that feels most like it's "not even there" is the one you want. Any little pinch or discomfort or "not quite rightness" will be amplified mile upon mile, so if you feel something in 10 seconds in a store, do NOT get that shoe. If you feel almost barefoot and great, get them and run (stop at the cash register to pay, please)!

Jenna J. asked:Hey to the experienced runners!! A few months ago, I went to 3 Sports in need of being fit for running shoes that supported myself & my feet, due to having issues with pain in my arches & tendons; well as of today, I still am having that same pain. Today I decided to follow advice of some other runners close to me and try Fleet Feet! And I must say, the manager there absolutely educated me!! The current shoe that I have from 3 Sports is the Asics Nimbus 16. According to the manager that I spoke with today at Fleet Feet, this shoe is 1) a half size to small for running, 2) does not support my wide upper foot area, and 3) does not support my foot where I need it to, and I am an extreme under pronator. This is very disappointing since shoes are not cheap. So, the man assisted me with some shoes to support my feet, and fit me for the Brooks Glycerin 12 and Hoka One One (which I think I will crack my ankles with) and explained to me why they would help me! So, today I didn't buy new shoes (because the asics are new) but I did buy some insoles for now. Does anyone have any suggestions on shoe hunting? I know it's a process! How long did it take you guys to find the right shoe? Anyone have the same issues?
Diane B. replied:My hubby gets all ours from roadrunnersports.com, but he has a VIP discount. So, our running shoes are much cheaper than my favorite running store.

Marissa J. asked:Does anyone have any good knowledge on shoe recommendations for different patients? I obviously have enough knowledge to made educated recommendations but I would like to learn more. Does anyone have a good website for finding specific shoes for specific needs? I find that I like the Asics brand myself and end up going on their website searching for something there (but that is a personal bias and I don't necessarily want that). I do know there is a page on the Runners World website where you can plug in some specifics for foot biomechanics and the type of runner and it will recommend shoes which is nice. I would like to know if there is anything else out there like this that anyone knows of? Or if anyone has any additional knowledge they want to share on specific shoes (brand and type) they found to really work for different common pathologies (plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, etc.) Thank you in advance, I would like to be better prepared to recommend various shoes to my patients!Dan H. replied:Roadrunnersports.com has a "Shoe Dog" feature that I have found helpful for running shoes specifically. Also, on runningwarehouse.com (as well as others though I'm not sure who) use Shoefitr which gives 2D and 3D comparisons of shoes.

Brandi F. asked:Running friends: I need suggestions for new running shoes. Thoughts?
Melissa B. replied:My favorite place to buy shoes is RoadRunnerSports.com-- it doesn't look like there's a location near you, but if there was, I'd recommend doing a custom fitting in their store. Once you've identified your favorite shoe, though, they're a great resource-- they'll match any price anywhere else, and if you pay for the VIP membership ($1.99/year), you get a 10% discount on everything year-round (20% once in a while during sales) and free shipping.

Run E. asked:Any advice for this runner? "Hello fellow runners -I'm looking for a bit of advice on shoes, I constantly have problems with heel blisters and my heels always wear a hole in the lining of my shoes in that area - I love Asics Kayano's because I have shin splint issues but have this heel problem always, I have tried a few other types but still have the same issue. I obviously have heels that stick out more than others!! does anyone else have this issue and if so can you recommend a shoe?"Susan D. replied:Get fitted at a running store to see what kind of shoes you need, then order your shoes from Roadrunnersports.com and join their VIP club (it's only 1.99 the first year). You can buy shoes, try them for 90 days and if they cause problems, return within the 90 day for a full refund. You can order 2 or 3 pairs, try them all for a while, see which ones you like, then return the others. They have great sales too!

I tried them on and ran on the treadmill in the store but honestly any of them would work great for me. Saying that I think I just need a good shoe that's a decent price.

Leah C. asked:Is anyone on here - or does anyone know of someone who is - a running coach? I've been running for a bit now but just started pushing myself further and trying to actually "train" for longer distance... and I'm having issues with my knee. I have talked to a few people and have an idea of what's going on but would like some more help in fixing it. Thanks in advance!Katie L. replied:How long have you had your current shoes? They should be replaced every 200-500 miles depending on the brand/type of shoe. How quickly were you ramping up the mileage? Most experts say do not increase more than 10% a week to avoid injuries and doing too much too soon. When I am increasing my long distance, I keep the short runs the same, and the long run I will add a mile. Try foam rolling, and make sure you are static stretching after runs. (http://www.runnersworld.com/health/foam-rolling-runners) Cross training and strengthening your whole body is a great idea too. Work on your core (which is your abs and your back, but also your hip flexors, glutes, abductors, and adductors too) Weak hips, and other areas of the core can contribute to knee pain as well. The folks at Runner's Lane are great, they can get you fitted into a pair that works for you! I also order shoes from www.roadrunnersports.com. You can wear your shoes for 90 days on any kind of terrain, and if they don't work, you can exchange them! They also have experts on hand to help guide you to the right shoe.
