Suggest me a pair of shoes

[Alessio]

Hi, I'm a boy of 24 years old,and I run regurarly 3-4 times for week for about 70 minutes. I've
heard that there are some type of shoes based on the weight, but I don't know where I can find this
information. I have to buy a new pair of shows, can you suggest something? Can you tell me where I
can find the table for the shoes based on the weight?

Thanks

I meant to add a useful link to the young boy. Go to www.penisenlargement.com They'll make a man
outta you.

Some shoes are more durable and they are recommended to heavier runners, but other than that, I
don't think weight is a big factor in shoe type.

A place I like to look at shoes is www.roadrunnersports.com. They have a shoe finder feature that
lets you enter things like your weight, mileage, type of surface you run on most, and then they give
shoe recommendations.

Shoes are primarily sold by "pronation type": "motion control" for overpronators, "stability" for
mild overpronator, "cushioning" for underpronators. You should look up these terms before you buy a
shoe, and make sure you know which one you are. I'm not sure whether you're talking about the weight
of the shoe or the weight of the runner -- shoes for heavier runners nead to be more durable but not
necessarily much heavier.

There are different durability/weight tradeoffs for shoes too. As has been posted in this thread
already, the roadrunnersports catalog includes the weight of each shoe (and it appears to be the
most complete running shoe catalog there
is)

I would suggest a shoe store. Gee, it seems like "a boy of 24 years old" would know that.

You're right, of course, but do you have to be so *boring* about it?

Also, the roadrunnersports catalog has (at least used to have) a pretty good explanation of the
terms Donovan has brought up. It is a good place to start. If you can't find one, I am sure you can
get one from their website www.roadrunnersports.com
