Believe me, tennis shoes are great for tennis, but they do not provide the type of stability needed for running. Running in Tennis shoes may be part of the cause of your injury.I will email you more information about where you can get a good pair of running shoes. Give it a try and then let me know how your foot feels. -- posted by Lynn » dean - Hi Lynn, I prefer to run in cross trainers because I don't al Hi Lynn,I prefer to run in cross trainers because I don't always stay on a track or path. I like to run on grassy hills in the park and I find that when I run around the SeaWall (in Stanley Park in Vancouver....10km), I have to side-step a lot of people who are walking. I guess I find that the cross trainer gives me better lateral movement. What are your thoughts on the cross trainer? My dad swears by Sauconys though. dean -- posted by dean » Lynn - Hi Dean.
