Shoes made for running?

Right now, I just wear Pumas...I don't know if they are made for running but I want to know what is so special about "running" shoes...because I have gym class much more often now in highschool and i want to know if its a good idea to invest in a good pair of them. Please also tell me which one I should get...from your opinion.

You might be fine in those for gym.. unless your super serious about it. Like at our school we have a weight room and everything. If your not going to be running track etc. you'll be fine. People in my class would be in there w/ brand new air forces or Jordan's. If you are going to be working out/running on a regular basis i would suggest going to a running store. I would probably get brooks shoes since they are very comfortable. But you have to try some on and see which are best for you!
Reply:There isn't a specific running shoe that is the best. If you had a specific running shoe/attire store (i.e. Fleet Feet), I would go and talk to them about your activities and see if you truly need them. The advantage of any running-specific store is that they now everything about running shoes and will fit you into the correct shoe.
Reply:asics and mizuno are good, even some new balances or brooks.





nike's are crap, they have not had a good shoe for like 6 years.
