BehindHazelEyes i have a pair of Nike Shox and Pumas. I love my pumas because they let my feet breathe, but support on hard ground isnt that great. The Nikes are great because they provide support, but my feet get hot and sweaty. They dont let air in.

BehindHazelEyes Weekly Question: (including gear specialist) What type of shoes do you recommend for running? Are shock resistant or flat shoes best. Offer up all you shoe knowledge.
6/22/2011 6:36:39 PM | Report
kittycadet101 Nikes are also good for thin feet. But running experts say that really less is more. So maybe shoes with less of a sole may be better. It is also good to have a 10 min barefoot cooldown once a week to be sure to make your feet stronger.
7/7/2011 8:59:54 PM | Report
kittycadet101 I would go to a specialty running store and get fitted for shoes. Their experts will point you to the best ones for your type of feet. Asics have a large toe box and are very cushy. I run in Saucony because I have very thin and a high arches.
