Before we get on with the list know that I’ve combined all types of shoes; for fast runners, those who over pronate, have high arches or flat feet, womens & mens, etc. so the list is generalized. Also, please be sure when choosing a shoe for yourself that you take into consideration your own personal needs and be sure to try on quite a few different styles and brands. Lastly, for a general price range most begin at $100 - $125. (Know what shoes & size you need? Shop on-line at Zappos, great prices & free shipping) Here it is… the TOP 10 Running Shoes for 2011:
