As a runner, choosing the right kind of running shoe is most important to avoid injury and to provide the best cushion to your feet. There are several aspects like brand, quality, price, foot type, purpose etc. that you need to decide upon before you settle for the shoe that best suits you. Read on to get a better insight into the world of running footwear.
What is your foot type?
Even before you put on any shoes, the first thing you need to find out is whether you are flat footed, have high arches or your feet are neutral. If you are flat footed, most likely your feet could overpronate ie. Your feet roll inward when you run. In that case you need broad base shoes for motion control and stability. Some of the women fashion trends for your shoe choices can include Asics Gel that has a broad base for support; Mizuno Wave Alchemy that is good for small and medium foot types; Brooks Addiction that is ideal for severely flat feet and Saucony Grid Stabil with breathable mesh to keep your feet cool.
People who have high arches usually underpronate, ie. Their feet roll outward when they run. If you are an underpronator then you need cushioning shoes to protect your arches from excessive stretching and tearing. You should buy good shock absorber running shoes that will also keep your feet dry and blister free. Some good fashion trend choices in this category can be Asics Nimbus with comfort dry insole; Saucony Grid Shadow with rear foot grid to provide cushion and smoothness to the heel on impact; Nike Air Max with breathable mesh to prevent overheating; Mizuno Wave Rider that is lightweight and perfect for small and medium runners and New Balance running shoes with soft cushioning in the heels.
If your feet do not overpronate or underpronate, then you have neutral feet and are 
lucky to have a wide variety of choices from the latest fashion trends in running shoes. You have the advantage of buying shoes for neutral feet and can even wear shoes made for slightly high arches or flat feet. You can try Asics Nimbus and Adidas Supernova Cushion for healty cushioning; Mizuno Wave Creation with extra durability and Nike’s offerings of Air Pegasus, Air Vomero and Zoom Skylon. Asics GT is highly recommended as a sturdy trail shoe whereas the Brooks Mach 10 is great for marathons.
