There is an age old saying that the best thing about running is that you just need a pair of shoes. Well, the reality is that running shoes are expensive. That's just a fact no matter where you are.

The Monday Shakeout: Best Racing Shoes that Can Handle Orthotics?

This week we talk about whether super racing shoes and orthotics mix. While most do not (we explain why below), there are still some options out there for those that feel most comfortable or prefer to run with their orthotics. We want to remind you that racing shoes are not typically designed with orthotics in mind but as always we will try to provide some guidance on finding a solution.

Best Carbon Plated Running Shoes (2024)
Carbon Plated Running Shoes Resource Page
The current trend in racing shoes has been toward super foams and carbon fiber plates. Although plates have been used in the past, their popularity has surged. A new age of fast shoes has come about and now a variety of companies have released their products (some in small batches). For the first time (almost ever) there is an interest from the general public (and not just the competitive runners) in finding the fastest shoe to get them across the finish line. We at Doctors of Running thought it would be helpful to have a guide to all the current models to help you choose if and which one may be right for you.

A Guide to Running Shoe Terminology
A Guide to Running Shoe Terminology
By Matthew Klein
This week we have decided to define several terms that we use frequently but have begun to realize are not common language. As a group of clinicians and educators, our goal is to help people understand what they are putting on their feet or how they are training. This can include terms and jargon that we may take our understanding of for granted, so to help you along this journey of knowledge, we have laid out several below that we commonly use. This list will likely evolve and we may even move this to a more official page. For now, we hope this helps clarify our language!

Beginner's Guide to Running Shoes (Best Running Shoes for New Runners 2024)
The Best Running Shoes for Beginners: In-depth Guide to Choosing Your First Running Shoe
By the Doctors of Running Editorial Team
At Doctors of Running, we frequently get questions from new
runners or those who are interested in starting running about footwear.
There are so many companies and shoes that looking for a place to start
can be overwhelming. Additionally, the amount of marketing jargon and
advertising that is immediately thrown at any new runners can either
lead to decision paralysis or choosing an inappropriate shoe that causes
the person to end up in one of our offices.

The Best Stable Neutral Running Shoes (2024)
When we put together our Guide to Stability, we also helped define a segment of running shoes that we felt existed, but wasn't amplified. We ended up coining the term "stable neutral" to help put a name to the trend. Stable neutral shoes have steadily become a growing part of the industry in recent years. Especially as maximal cushioning as gone from a corner of running to the norm, companies have been working to balance these tall stack heights with a variety of design features to create stable platforms. In this feature, we further define stable neutral shoes and offer our current favorites in the market today.
