Protect your feet with quality shoes, not Nike Shox

New Balance will have almost equal cushioning on the bottom throughout the shoe.

Runners World, who has been the number one source of quality and breakthrough information about running for years, has a shoe guide on their website. The shoes mentioned there are Asics, Brooks, and the upper priced New Balance. In the runner's world, Nike Shox are a joke. Whether at Happy's Running Club or the Reindeer Run, both of these races are laid back and even then the appearance of Nike Shox will not be on the feet of someone in the front of the pack, if at all.

Perhaps the most obvious flaw in the Shox is the fact that there are gaps in the shoe; the elusive Air technology. Though Nike markets this as the genius of the shoe, it is absolutely absurd have air where support could be. That is the equivalent of taking the sole of a shoe, cutting a piece of it out, and then convincing runners that it is a better shoe.

Though young people might think the Shox are like the shocks on a car and will give them more spring, it is actually a shoe that contradicts the necessary technology to support an injury-free runner.

LSU students and runners alike can receive similar information at local running stores. Usually these stores employ people who have some experience with running and will never offer you Nike Shox for your ideal trainer shoe. Do a favor and convert all Nike Shox into rainy day school shoes. -source

That's surprising. Nike Shox is marketed for runners yet it's not good for running? At least there are other opetions like New Balance running shoes.
