Most peole talk about walking in Europe etc. Is this shoe good for treadmill, eliptical, light running?

It wouldn't be bad, I would stick to running or cross trainer for that tho. These shoes are more rigid and better used for outside. You don't want to wear out your good hikers inside on a treadmill....

Hi - I purchased these shoes several months and love them. I use them for cross training, hiking and walks with my dog, so i would say, yes, to the treadmill and eliptical. Hope this helps!

running on it everyday will wear it out very quickly. this treadmill is great, but not for serious runners. may be a little too flimsy for what you need.

I wear a size 10 1/2 EEEE Adidas running shoe and it fits me. There is a design problem which I find and that is when walking the first part of the shoe to hit the ground is the back of the heel - this part does not come into contact with the treckers so if you hit an especially slippery ice patch the forward foot can slip up instead of rocking forward. this can result in a fall. Knowing this one can walk flat footed over obvious slippery spots, but you have to conciously change your normal walking gait.

I use them for extreme hiking - Cliffs, Ice, Frozen rivers Etc... You should probably look at a pair of good running shoes with spikes if the conditions call for it to be icy. I would not use these in a Marathon.

Not so much on the age of the wearer, it depend more on its intention. I don't think it is suitable for all day usage as it may be difficult to have a tightness to accommodate all sort of activities. I would recommend it for runs or walks

I used this to walk all around Europe on cobbled stone streets and sidewalks. It worked great.

They run very true to size. I wear a size 9 which is a 42. Do not go big! Any EUR to USA CONVERSION CHART will work. It is an exccellet shoe.

In my experience and other service member experience, you have to be careful with that bit of rubber in the middle of the sole that connects the springs to the studs and the two rubber bits at the toe. This was just with running. I would not recommend them for hiking, but would stick to something with chains.

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running. Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

I just do a fast-paced walk on treadmills...not brave enough to run. It seems to be OK for my "speed"Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Not really. It's good for walking on an incline but I'd look around for a better one. This one seems to be weak in the rear for running.

I love the shoe.and i will say I wore then alot and they are still maintaining....they are a lil heavy but wearing them outside is all good.. they are better then timberlands.

Don't bother!!!! I would buy Alegria shoes or a good quality shoe that realigns your feet, I used those orthotics but they don't work and for a few more dollars u can buy a nice pair of shoes!!

The narrow will probably be better for running than the wide. However, the wide isn't bad for running.

I would say it's excellent in that regard. The deck has a slight flexibility with your foot fall, and I find it very comfortable to run on for extended periods. Over the years we have had several treadmills, and we agree this LifeSpan TR 1200i is the best we have ever owned. I can't see any downside to this equipment. However, you should know that the on-off toggle switch is located at floor level on the front of the treadmill necessitating a stretch to turn it on and off. Not a problem for me...still, the switch could have been located on the 'dashboard' for ease of use. This is an excellent treadmill. 5 star recommendation here.

They are not so confortable. If looking for something to walk you may see a better product. For pedaling thoose are great shoes.

I have been wearing it for martial arts, its definitely light, you wont even notice its there practically. But the only thing is the plastic bar does dig into the knee a little bit. I dont know why Genu Train hasn't fixed this issue yet.
