Consider this…
With the recent publication from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) about Selecting Running Shoes; there is finally some clarification and (some) agreement on what is important to look for. Comfort should also be on the list, as you should never let anyone sell you a shoe that doesn’t feel good on your foot. The ACSM states the flowing three important factors to consider when shoe shopping:
1) Minimal Heel-to-Toe drop (be careful with this one)
2) A Neutral Shoe
3) A lightweight Shoe
