With the London Marathon looming and the race calender starting to take shape it’s definitely time to make sure that you have the correct shoes on your feet come the big day.
In our latest test we take a look at suitable shoes for running the marathon . These range from everyday running shoes to specifically designed marathon racing shoes . Just a quick word of forewarning, if you are not already used to wearing racing shoes it’s too late to consider wearing them for the London Marathon but if you have a later deadline then they are certainly worth giving a try.
The marathon distance does not suffer fools. Whereas over 5km or 10km you can “get away” with wearing ill fitting shoes the marathon distance will not allow such mistakes! And after the hours of preparation, blood, sweat and inevitable tears you don’t want your shoes to ruin you big day.

"Vacation starts January 15th," joked Keflezighi in a conference call from his home in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., where he has been training at altitude. Spending time with daughters Sara, Fiyori and Yohana, Keflizighi is in the taper phase of training, with the majority of work already having been completed in preparation for the January 14th race.
But when Keflezighi, who has run in two Olympic Trials Marathons before, takes to the streets of Houston, he will have completed an up and down journey since his last marathon -- a sixth place finish at the ING New York City Marathon on November 6th.
Soon after running his 2:09:13 personal best in New York, Keflezighi's left foot became infected. An irritation had developed after he mistakenly left his Breathe Right nasal strip (worn on the nose to decrease nasal congestion) in his shoe.
"I always wear a Breathe Right, and that's the last thing I take out of my shoe," he said, noting that he puts the strip in his racing shoes for safe keeping, making sure not to forget to put it on before taking the line.

I bought new underarmour shoes today from finishline, they are the new prototype running shoes. I am running the chicago marathon this year (2008) and i want to know if those shoes are good to run in. The associate at finish line said they would work
