Although not bad shoes, they are obviously designed for tennis, which means support for quick side-to- side stopping and starting, primarily. I would say it's probably okay if you are a once-a-week very, very casual jogger - but even then, I'd feel better recommending a real running shoe. Your weight is also another sign that that would be a better plan as well. Certainly running is more enjoyable with the right gear. cheers, -- David (in Hamilton, ON) www.allfalldown.org "The most insecure people are the ones you see, putting other people down constantly." |

Re: running shoes...
Bob you numbnutz, You MUST buy running shoes if you wish to run. That is why they call them RUNNING
shoes and not TENNIS shoes. Look the meanings up if you are unsure. gusbob@webtv.net (Bob) wrote in message news:<19936-4040AD6B-44@storefull-3155.bay.webtv.net>... > All this recurring talk of good running shoes,so are newbalance tennis shoes considered ok?

Re: running shoes...
Who the hell wears tennis shoes to run in? Do you wear footy boots to play tennis in?

Re: running shoes...
. . . and to expand on David's recommendation below - I'm a 190# runner and have found that running
with the right shoes makes a HUGE difference for the health of your joints. If you use the wrong shoes you may wind-up with ankle, knee or hip pains that could have been avoided with a good pair of running shoes. Try some on at a good running store, not a Footlocker. I know that New Balance has stores around the country and their staff really know what you're type of style would need. They put me on a treadmill in the store and looked from behind at my pronation and recommended the right shoe for me. Good luck, - Tom C.
