A good running shoe can mean the world to an athlete and their race. It all depends on whether the shoe is a right fit or just makes the runner feel good. There are many types of shoes out there to pick from. People with arch problems generally like to go with a shoe that has more support so they would go with the brand Saucony or Brooks because both of those shoes are known for there support.Here are some interviews from cross country runners and Coach Kelly Alexander and there feed back on why they think a good running shoe is so important.

“The right pair of running shoes could get rid of all the evils that happen whenyou are running.”
-Coach Alexander
