What would be a good running shoe to start off on?

Question

I've started preparing myself for running.

Usually, I just wear my converses when I go running, but now that I am getting serious I want to invest in some actual "Running" shoes.

What is the best type or brand? Are there specific things I need to know about choosing what running shoe to purchase?

Any help would be wonderful.

Answer 1

It will really depend on your foot type. Make sure you go to a store and try on as many models as you can.

I prefer New Balance because they provide the support I need on the insides of my arches.

Answer 2

spira shoes.

Answer 3

It depends on your feet, I like nike or asics personally  

Answer 4

go to athletes foot and get one specially. or get a crosstrainer or netball one

Answer 5

i like my nike shox :) but they were like 150

Answer 6

Saucony Cohesion, about $40 at Academy & Sports Authority.  Make sure you try them on afternoon or evening when your feet are larger.   Wear thick running socks.   Then stand with your weight on 1 foot and measure from your longest toe to the front of the shoe.  Should measure about 1 inch or the width of your thumb.

Good LUck

Answer 7

if you need some more support i would suggest a nike or a new balance but if your a real good cross country runner who doesn't need so much support i suggest pumas or Nike's xc series
