Best Cushioned Running Shoes For Women

best style of running shoes?

What would be the best style of running shoes for a woman that's slightly pigeon toed? cushion? stability? support?

You most definately need to invest in a solid pair of stability shoes. Having the extra support should lower the chance of common injuries such as shinsplints. Cushion is something that can be included in a stability shoe, but the extra support is more important than the cushion.

Two Awesome Running Shoes For People With High Arches

Runners with high arches have very unique needs. That is, they need shoes that are really flexible, yet provide support, but not too much support. As you can see, it can be quite difficult to find a shoe with all these features. However, here are two great shoes that fit the bill.

ADIDAS Response Cushion 18 - This is a long standing model with nearly two decades of technological advancements. The shoe is meant for heavier framed athletes with high arches, as it has a firm heel to provide superior arch support without any medial posting (good for medium arches but not necessary for for high arches). The shoe also has a very soft forefoot so that you'll get a nicely cushioned toe off. With a narrow heel and a medium sized toe box, it makes for a glove like fit that is not too tight nor not too sloppy. It's a light shoe, at 12 ounces in men's size 9 and 10.5 ounces in women's size 7. However, as light as it is, you can expect the support to last for several hundred miles.

Nike Air Pegasus 26 - Here's another shoe with a long standing history and huge following. Retailing at $85, the shoe gives its buyers one of the best values in the running shoe market. It is ideal for high arches as it has an ultra flexible midsole. However it does provide some support with a semi firm midsole foam. All this makes for an ultra smooth heel-toe transition. For medium framed runners, it is a great shoe for both short and long distances. Heavier framed runners will find it works best when limiting to middle distances. As much cushion as it has, it is quite a light weight shoe, weighing in at 11.4 ounces in men's size 9 and 9 ounces in women's size 7.
