Hi I am a 31 year old male from the United States. Kansas to be exact. I like the superstar brand of shoes because they are extremely comfortable and seem to fit my foot perfectly. I am very physically active so shoes are important. I got introduced to the superstars line of shoes about one year ago with a pair I bought off of Ebay. I was very sad to find it was going to be difficult to replace that style but I am not giving up yet. I hope to find the answer to a question I posted in custom forum. Pleased to meet you all.

Welcome along. I have to say, your request is rather unusual. Superstars have come/do come with a variety of insoles. Is there a particular reason why youre looking for a particular type?

Yeah - if you care about your long term health, do not run long distances in soops.

They might feel great now, but the damage you'll be doing to your legs will really show later in life due to lack of cushioning in the heel etc, theres a reason for running specific trainers.

Wasn't there a tv doc a month or so back that showed that needing certain shoes/clothes/drinks for sports was all a load of bollocks???

No idea, and it probably mostly is tbh. For everyone person who says its needed blah blah blah, someone else will say its a pile of crap.
IMO certain apparel and drinks will give you "performance" benefits, but a good cushioned shoe is a prerequisite for running in my eyes.

For the most part, the drinks are useless. Unless you're running long distances, water is just fine. Anything longer than an hour or so you might benefit from a sports drink, especially if it's hot. Personally, I find running with a drinks bottle (especially a belt of them strapped around your waist) is a sign of immense weakness. Plus, you look like an idiot.
Performance apparel, as I've found out this summer, does make a big difference to your comfort. Moisture wicking shirts are much better than cotton, but if you're only running 5km at a time, it's not a big deal.
Finally, shoes are essential. I don't care what anyone says - unless you're genetically blessed, a shoe designed for your specific running style/gait/size, etc. will make a world of difference. Maybe not during the run, but definitely after. I once (drunkenly) ran 3km in a pair of Stan Smiths and my legs felt it for days.
