They do work for running, especially if you have weaker ankles like myself. Teh high top basketball show will provide extra stability that you'll need while you're running.
Reply:no they are to heavy and high for running sneakers or tennis shoes are better and even better are track spikes. basket ball shoes are only good in basket ball because they have a flat bottom that grips onto the floor better on a rubber or cinder track you want to be able to push off better not stop and go and stop and go
Reply:BIG DIFFERNCE!! Basketball shoes will kill your feet and ankles. It will make you loose time durning the race. :]]
