My child is 10 years old; he runs on an indoor track. In summer I’m gonna bring him with me for outdoor running through the city.

Should I buy special running shoes for him, with more sufficient cushioning, for instance, as I run on concrete surfaces mainly?

Good afternoon!

I’d like to notice that there are also some restrictions in running duration for a 10-year-old child. In other words, at this age game-based trainings including elements of active games should prevail, not monotonic cyclic loads. It’s a good way to develop power and speed.

Running shoes with maximum protection should indeed be used for running on new and especially hard surfaces. So, I would highly recommend you to select running shoes suitable to meet the new challenges.

Running Shoes and Insoles For Flat Feet
Question:

Good afternoon, Oleg Sergeevich.

I have longitudinal flat feet, II grade. Usually, the doctors, of course, think I'm crazy because I run with a flat feet. But I know many people with the same diagnosis who run like me and don't have any problems.

I have two questions:

  1. Should I buy special running shoes which are considered as shoes for runners with hyperpronation? My experience tells me that such running shoes don't differ significantly from ones for neutral pronation.
  2. Where can I order insoles which could be used instead of usual insoles of running shoes in order to reduce potential harmful impact of running with flat feet?

Thank you!
