They protect you
from injuries, which results in poor performance and doctor bills.

Which running shoes
do you need to buy?
o
They need to be for
distance running. You should not buy
them based upon their style or what someone else is wearing. They are very personal and what works great
for someone else might be very bad for you.
While at the store, you need to fully lace the shoes and go for a short run in order to make sure that they are comfortable.
