A Thing about Running Shoes
Running shoes are designed to provide extra cushion and shock absorption to help protect your joints. Like walking or hiking shoes, running shoes need to be durable, lightweight and supportive.

Styles
There are many categories of running shoes. If the shoes will be used only at an indoor gym, then you don't need to be concerned with extras such as waterproof material and flexible treads. If you need the shoes for outdoor use, like running a trail, then waterproof material and flexible treads are important characteristics.

Trail running shoes are specialized for the many obstacles involved with outdoor running. The tread needs to provide sturdy traction to help with moving over rocky, muddy or wet surfaces. The soles need to be flexible to aid in moving over flat, steep or uneven surfaces.

Regular running or jogging shoes focus more on cushioning and shock absorption than they do climbing and hiking concerns. The tread still needs to be sturdy enough to deal with water, mud or stones, but they probably won't be used for dashing up a rocky mountain.

Women's track and field shoes tend to be studded for events like hurdles, long jumps and pole vaults. The racing shoes are ultra-lightweight with serious traction for quick starts.

Shock Absorption
The amount of shock absorption is the biggest selling point for running shoes, since pounding the pavement can cause muscle and joint problems. Running without the proper support and cushioning can lead to shin splints, blisters and weakened joints.

Even average running shoes have some fancy designs when it comes to shock absorption methods. Some shoes have actual springs or gel balls in the heel to help cushion and protect your foot. Others have tread patterns that help funnel air under your foot, providing natural cushioning and protection. Other shoes have gel-filled pressure chambers in the sole that span the length of the foot, providing serious shock absorption.

Using a thick insole can help in reducing impact. Insoles can be foam, cloth, plastic and/or gel pockets. It all depends on what feels best to you, so try different insole types. The best insoles are built in, so the way the shoe fits in the store will be the way it fits at home. Insoles purchased separately can also work well, but they may cause the shoe to fit too tightly.

Pronation
It's important for the serious runner to make sure they fit their pronation with the proper style of running shoe. Your pronation, or how much you turn your foot when running, can be affected and compensated for with different styles of women's running shoes.

Fit
How a shoe fits should also an important concern, most particularly with running shoes. The shoe needs to curve around and support your entire foot without rubbing into it.

Arch supports need to be exactly under your arch, not pushing into your heel. Heels should never slip out of the shoe. Toes should be able to flex and curl without hindrance. They should never poke against the front or top of the shoe; otherwise, blistering can occur.

Make sure to wear the appropriate socks when trying on any running shoes for women, since style and thickness can affect overall fit. If you intend to alter the shoes, like changing shoelaces or adding insoles, try to sample those alterations when trying on the shoe. Even these very small changes can affect the overall fit.

Conclusion
Women should generally avoid using men's running shoes, since slight differences in natural weight distribution between men and women can make them unsuitable. Unisex running shoes can work for some, but, if you're a serious runner, stick with shoes as specific to your needs as possible.

When shopping for brand new shoes, never go for looks. Just because a running shoe looks chic doesn't mean it will fit or work for actual running. Women's shoes with the perfect fit, perfect support and perfect look are always a great find. But, if you have to choose, always take fit and support over style.
