Recommend your running/walking shoes for women

[Anonymous]

I think I have Runner's Knees and I'm convinced part of the problem is the shoes I use for power walking. I've been power walking consistently for the past month, which is something I've never done before.

Go to a running shoe store and ask them to do an evaluation of your gait and recommend a good shoe for you. It is well worth it.

Asics.

I can't remember the exact name, but I love my Asics that were in the $100 range.

Ok thanks, i'll go check it out. What's the typical cost for consultation plus the shoe? I'm not familiar with running shoe stores. Didn't even know they existed.

Ditto. Get fitted properly.

I love Brooks. I've worn a few different models and they are just the right blend of firmness but with a spring to them. Get fitted for the right model, but they would be my recommendation!

Pacers, Fleet Feet or Road Runner Sports. The consultation will be free, but you should buy a pair of shoes from them afterward. After that, you can feel free to find them cheaper online.

I am flat footed like a duck and run only in Brooks for years. Love them..

I like Potomac River Running a lot. Fleet Feet is also good. Georgetown Running is also great (ask for Chris).

Don't go to a place like Foot Locker, Dicks, etc. They are just going to point to shoes and not know a lot about them.

Consultations are free. Shoes are MSRP, so it's courteous to buy from them.

I'm not a fan of Road Runner Sports. They are VERY pushy on upselling their "custom" orthotic insoles. I was warned ahead of time before I went (we had their VIP membership at the time) and it was still horrible saying "No, I don't want this" at least 5 times during the fitting.

Potomac River Running. They were so helpful.
