New Running Shoes?

Currently I am about one month way from my first 5K race ever. So, obviously I am in the process of training. Right now i train in shoes that i have been using for a year and a half. I am very comfortable in these shoes, however they are getting in very bad shape. The soles are really starting to wear and tear and are getting very thin. I still am very comfortable running in these, and fell absolutely no pain in my legs or feet (except for the normal running soreness after hard workouts)even with the bad shape they are in. I am considering getting new shoes sometime. Should I get them now and train in them and use them for the 5K or should I continue to use my current shoes for another month and use them for the race. If it makes any difference, the shoes are ascis and I train on pavement and all of my races are on pavement.

New Running Shoes?
The mistake that people make when they run a race is they use new shoes. Use your old shoes if you feel comfortable with then or train on your new shoes for they can lose up a little and for you can get comfortable with them. Just dont use your new shoes on the race because you need to use them first. Good Luck
Reply:u should probabily use the old ones in the race...from time to time...u should train in the new shoes...but do not run the race in the new shoes...use the comfortable ones..
Reply:First of all you should be getting new running shoes every two to three months... Second of all never run on worn out soles why?? because you dont want to be in the middle of the 5K and you get a hole... lastly i would say get the new Pearl Izumi Syncro Guide 2 very comfortable with outstanding Tech Specs and light weight
Reply:Go to a specialty running store- google %26quot;Specialty Running Store%26quot; and your state. They will watch you run and help determine what type of shoe you need- stability, cushioning, motion control. Do this right away! Get new shoes and start wearing them- once you have the CORRECT shoes and size, you can walk around in them a couple of days then get right out and run in them! Asics are terrific shoes! Remember- SPECIALTY running store, though- no large sporting goods stores!
