Five Best Running Shoes for Big
Finding the Right Running Shoe for Your Body TypeLife isn't always easy if you're a bigger guy. Clothing doesn't always fit. Even if it does, it's not necessarily built for someone a little bigger or heavier, so it often doesn't last. Finding the best running shoes for big men can be a tricky thing, especially if you want something that will promote good joint health, last a long time, and not cost an arm and a leg.
As I see it, the challenge larger men face when running is twofold: you need to find a pair of shoes that will protect your health by offering sufficient support and shock resistance for your size and weight, and you need to find something that will fit and not fall apart after a short period of time. The best running shoes for big guys will be an intersection of these qualities, and it's not impossible to find.
This article will look at five of my favorite running shoes for big men available today. We'll review each pair and talk about what kind of running and what sort of physique each pair is best suited towards. We'll also touch briefly on a few of the health issues a larger man in search of good running shoes might face, and how to avoid such issues.
What to Watch ForBeyond pure sizing restrictions, there are other reasons why it makes sense to do your research. It's essentially mother nature's shock absorber it's how much your foot or ankle will roll when it hits the ground on each stride. Some people have a lot of pronation, while others hardly have any. When you're a large man, pronation is especially important because the wrong runners can enhance the shock to your knees and joints.
A good pair of running shoes for big men will provide a proper level of cushioning and support, and if you experience pronounced under or over pronation, it will help stabilize your gait and keep your knees healthy. Take a look at where your current runners are wearing down.
If it's on the outside edges, you have under pronation.
If it's on the inside edge, you have over pronation
If there is an S shaped wear pattern from heel to toe, you have a normal level of pronation.
If you have over pronation, you'll want a shoe with extra support and stabilization. If there's under pronation, you'll want extra shock absorption. For all others, a neutral runner is probably best. As a result, any good runners for large men will compensate for the lack of arch to prevent pain, discomfort, and joint pain.
Overall, you should probably be looking for a shoe that advertises itself as having support. I don't recommend 'barefoot' style shoes at all, as nice as they can be.
Saucony Progrid Guide 8The Progrid Guide 8 by Saucony is an ideal running shoe for large men for a number of reasons. As the name implies, the shoe is built to 'guide' your gait and provide a decent level of support in all aspects, making it ideal for anyone with over pronation or arch issues.
I'd still classify this shoe as a neutral runner, but it's got a good deal of support and it will be effective and comfortable for a wide range of people.
A great advantage of the Guide 8 is the fact that they are quite light just over 500 grams (around 10 ounces) for the pair. They also boast Saucony's Progrid sole construction which provide a good amount of support and shock absorption without draining energy from your stride.
The shoe makes use of memory foam technology to make sure it's ideally fitted to your feet, and they feel snug, secure but yet lightweight and cool. It's definitely a great running shoe for big men in a lot of ways.
New Balance Nike Air Max 2016 Womens M1260 V5New Balance is a company that has long understood how pronation works and that it affects a runner. They have a wonderful series of runners that I'd recommend to just about anyone.
This particular pair is a bit pricier, but well worth the money you'll invest. This is a great set of running shoes for big men because it combines comfort with big support and advanced technology.
The outer shell is perforated and provides a good amount of coolness while you run. The sole is flexible and has a lot of support, cushioning and shock absorptive qualities, especially if you opt to use the ABZORB cushioned insole.
It's definitely a shoe that's meant for anyone with mild to moderate overpronation, so if your ankle tends to roll somewhat with each stride, this may be one to consider to make running more comfortable. In any event, it's one of the best running shoes for heavy men or anyone who experiences pain as a result of low arches or pronation.
Mizuno Wave Inspire 11The Mizuno Wave Inspire 9 is an excellent example of the fact that a stability running shoe doesn't have to be big, heavy, or clunky.
This is a lightweight, practical, and fun shoe that's a dream to run in. It provides enough support that even those with moderate overpronation will likely experience great results.
It's definitely one of the better running shoes for heavy men, and it has a springy quality that boosts your overall experience, providing a sense of energy to each stride you take. The 'Wave' in the name refers to the midsole, and it allows such a sleek, lightweight shoe to have pretty great support and cushioning.
The traction is wonderful, and the carbonized rubber will stand up to a lot of punishment, meaning that you won't have to replace them for a while. It's a great running shoe for big guys that will encourage you to get out there and make use of them. This is definitely one to check out.
ASICS GT 2000 2This running shoe by ASICS is an extremely popular offering and it's got a lot going for it. You may already recognize ASICS, given that they're a big player in the running shoe business and they're well known for their famous GEL inserts and running shoe technology.
The GT 2000 is an update on the now famous 2170 system, and they've improved their technology quite a bit.
This runner sports the GEL cushioning technology too. As a result, they are light, fast, and very comfortable, as well as good for your joints. |
