Run 4 It is a specialist running shoe shop that serves itself well to the purpose. This was the last place I bought my road running shoes, and I am happy that they have stopped this shin pain that I was getting from my last pair as they were worn out.
If looking for running shoes, don' let the eerily quite shop put you off, the staff are very knowledgeable. They will assess your gait by watching you walk up and down then a little jog, which is all done inside the shop, where they will then bring an assortment of different shoes for you to try, while they assess how you walk again. They will talk of things like pronation of the foot, as it is likely that everyone has a little of it. It is great to hear your condition explained to you. They give recommendations on brand for fit and your foot requirements. It was nice to know that they even recommended the cheapest pair of trainers which I was swithering over, so they are not money hungry corporate monsters that they could be.
Specialised running shoes are rather pricey, but they are so beneficial to your joints whether it is walking, road, or cross country running you would like to do. If you do have over pronation like me, there are different sorts of shoes you can buy too which will act as a sort of physiotherapy for your foot and strengthen your muscles. I didn't buy any or my bill would have been huge, but I am not saying I am not still thinking about it. Costs for the sorts of trainers on offer was about £65 - £110, you can't put a price on health. read more
