Running can be an addictive sport, but without the right shoe running can be a horrible experience. This review takes a look at 5 different men’s running shoes, their qualities (what makes them so good) and where to find them. As a runner I cannot stress the importance of a proper shoe as it is one of the most important factors in entering this sport.
1. Men’s New Balance 993
The New Balance 993 is the perfect fit for any runner looking for maximum support while still getting a light running shoe. This shoe sports resilient cushioning and durability throughout the entire shoe. New Balance has always made a great running shoe, I have used the 900 series in the past and loved it, and they lasted almost an entire year of cross country. This shoe can be found at www.roadrunnersports.com.
2. Nike Air Max Torch II
The Nike Air Max Torch II is a great men’s running shoe, which provides both support and breathability. This shoe features air cushion support in the heel which is clearly visible, and breathable mesh on the side for complete comfort while running. Breathability is a quality you want for long distance running, if your feet over heat it is very uncomfortable. This Nike shoe can be found at www.zappos.com.
3. Men’s ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 14
This lightweight running shoe is an amazing performer for runners who average less than 10 miles a day. They provide the support that runners need without sacrificing a heavier weighted shoe. This shoe is only 12.2 oz and comes in a variety of sizes. This product can be purchased at www.roadrunnersports.com.
4. Saucony Progrid Jazz 12
The Saucony shoe company always has a good reputation for their running shoes and this shoe is no different. This shoe is only 10.5 ounces and is good for neutral runners wanting support and lightness. I own a pair of these shoes; they offer incredible breathability via the mesh sides, and great cushioning on the heel. This shoe is great for runners running less than 10 miles a day; they provide great longevity and support. This men’s running shoe can be found at www.zappos.com.
5. New Balance MR883
The New Balance MR883 is an amazing cushioned shoe that provides full support for even the most hardened runners. The shoe sports a lace system that will not untie when there is bad weather or stressed performance. This shoe has great cushioning which helps even a flat foot runner (such as myself) perform optimally. This shoe is 12 ounces and can be bought from www.zappos.com.
