The Myth of the Perfect Running Shoe


Buying a running shoe is like buying a computer: There’s no accurate answer to the question, “Which one is best?” The right question is, “Which one is best for me?” Like computer users, runners have different needs. I weigh less than 130 pounds and land with the greatest amount of force on my forefeet. That means I need a different kind of shoe than a heavier runner who lands with the most force in the heel, just like someone who does graphic design has different computer needs than an accountant.
