Do men need different type shoes from women?
Yes and no. Most men’s and women’s shoes are made with average height and weight factors in mind. For example, if you are a taller woman with above-average shoe width, you may need a men’s type running shoe. Q: Should I get cross-trainers instead? A: I only recommend cross-trainers to those individuals that are going to be using the “running shoe” in a gym, walking on a treadmill or using a stationary bike. These shoes tend to be a little stiffer, and can sometimes cause foot pain in those individuals trying to run in them. Q: Do I need different shoes for walking and running? A: Yes and no. A good running shoe can typically provide the comfort and stability for every-day walking. I would recommend purchasing a running shoe for running and alternating that with a good walking shoe for all other activities. This should help you to get the most out of each shoe. Q: How often should I replace my running shoes? A: A typical running shoe can last 350 to 700 miles or 6 to 9 months depending
