is the narrow good for running or is it a must to get the wide shoulder version?

It depends on your complexion but if you will be mostly running I suggest the wide or at least the running pads available at http://www.weightvest.com/running-pad-1520 . Now, this product is amazing but requires commitment. I suggest you try running with a rucksack first and see how that goes.

I have ran in the narrow. It was very comfortable. After using the narrow I don't think I could use the wide version. However, the wide may be more comfortable for running but you have better arm movement with the narrow. Better arm movement allows you to do more activities in the vest. The biggest factor is not overdoing it with the weight. But yes the narrow is comfortable and good for running. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any more questions you may have.

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

my shoulders got a little uncomfortable until I got used to the vest. you can always take out some of the weights and work your way up. I've found the padding in the shoulders to be adequate, but I don't jog or run with the vest on.

Hi, I live in New Zealand and am going to pick up mine from our sons' in America very soon - I can't comment on this exact model as I have not used it yet, however I have used similar ones before and have found them fantastic for going for walks. There was only one problem - my husband wasn't able to keep up with me! I have chosen this one from Amazon as it is the only one I've found after extensive searching to have wide tyres. We live at the beach and so I hope to be able to use it there. Good Luck :)

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....

I am not sure which would be better. What I can say is that there would be no way to loosen it up if it was snug, but if it is loose it wouldn't give the support either. I have a medium and I wear a size l in tops, I feel that I have fairly broad shoulders and I like the way mine feels. I also wear mine over my clothes and sometimes a sweatshirt. Hope this helps.

Hi, I would go with the standard, the backpack is light & by the time you put the ball, cleats, shin guards & maybe water, a little extra room will be appreciated.

This support runs small. I ordered a medium and had to return it and get a large. I would recommend get the medium and if it is to big return it and get a smaller size. Rememebr this shoulder support is adjustable.

I LOVE mine and I haven't even completely learned all of it's features. I chose it because my running coach (who also does tri's) has it and I knew that she could help me. I believe it would be a good choice, unless the mountain areas are poor GPS locations. Other than that, I recommend it!

I would say that I am on the Shorter size (5.6) and have broader shoulders than they rest. It seems to fit me well. Hope all works for you. Overall, it also it awesome. I wore mine today in fact. Terrible down pours, work shirt stayed dry as a bone.

Absolutely! Just adjust to get a good fit, and you'll be ready to go. The cord is a bit rigid, which could be a little annoying for gym use, but running would work!

I also have wide feet. When I purchased my Sloggers only EE was available. I find them to be a little snug but comfortable.

Well, depends. If You like a padded back support maybe this backpack isn't what you want, but if you looking for an anatomic product that fit tight with a lightweight and strong material this backpack have my approval.I think that is ilusion finding that only padding is better in avoid back problems because what matters is the proper weight distribution and anatomical way u dress. One other good thing of this is that when you jump and run with the intention of taking a bus, subway during rush hour for example, the devices inside the backpack are not picking their backs because they stay stuck.There must be many other good backpacks, but I have also had many other and found this very good and honest price.

If u r only running up to 4 miles a day a 40# vest may be too much. It's pretty heavy but works great. U will feel ready to run when u drop it. The problem is that adding 40 that ur not used to May give u shin splints. I'm used to heavy rucksacks so it was fine for me but maybe not for others. A great vest tho

Im the same as you and have the large/xl. Don't overfill the front pockets as you can chaff your arms on long runs (due to wear it sits on us larger ladies) but its very comfy and so much better than waist packs. Worth the investment!

The best for you is A2, because you have to have some room to move faster. Thanks.

I have pretty narrow feet, too, and this product works great for me. I have not used it in a couple of weeks now, and I need to begin again, because my old pain is back. The price is worth trying. Good luck.

Hello there, I haven't used a minimalist running shoe. However, I use the Nike Free 5.0 and it is a bit bulky, but not a deal breaker. It takes time to break in so it'll be somewhat of a pain in the early stages. My suggestion would be to break it in, wear it as much as you can before using it in the running shoe you plan on wearing. Wear it in the office, around the house, shopping etc. and it should be good to go. Hope this helps!
