im going to start running again (so outta shape! geh) but the shoes i have are beat up and old and i dont think they make the same show anymore (its an old adidas shoe)

can anyone recommend me a good pair of running shoes? preferably something afforadable (nothing over $100, please! poor student. )

[pink1e]

I think a nice pair of New Balance is good for jogging and runing. I need one too >_< summer is coming so I finally have time to go running.

[Minnie J_*]

i think Nikes..
if you go to JC Pennys or Macys, they have like a clearance section. DSW has one too..and some running shoes there are pretty cheap: under $100 by like $30.00! Nikes are like the best running shoes..well in my opinon =]

[미소&눈물]

Haha I never run but I figured I should start...except I never wear sneakers and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on shoes I wouldn't wear much so I bought super super cheap running shoes at payless & they're really comfortable

[alicimoo]

ASICS! They're so light and they have great support.

[kkkkk]

asics are not very durable due to their weight. but i love asics.

i would say nike is a more 'safe' choice.

have fun running!

i recommend our old school NIKE.
to me, Nike is the one when it comes to jogging. the sole is very soft and cushioned and its slim & long shape really fits my feet. I've tried other brands like new balance, rebok and adidas, but nothing is as good as Nike. So, my advice is Nike. Try the jogging/running ones and avoid those 'fancy' & 'fashion' ones.

[pink1e]

tahahaha.. america's brainwashed on Nike. *applause advertising* ..
but Nike IS a good brand though. quite expensive for a nice pair though, since you don't want anything over $100.

[konayuki28]

i heard nike is good? :]

[x SaRaNg HaE x]

I love Asics. They're really comfortable.

asics are apparently the best jogging shoes. a bit on the expensive side though, so i got a pair of new balance ones instead. i know nike & whatever are supposed to be good sports brands blah blah but not when it comes to jogging i reckon. basketball? maybe. jogging? no.

[angela<3]

You should go to a running store to find out what type of shoe is right for you. It might be on the costy side but it's more beneficial. It should be less than $100.

[prechuz_azn]

Ok these are really vague answers people. SHe asked to recommend her
a good pair of running shoes not a good brand

Anyway in my opinion, like the person above me..try going to a running store
thatll fit you the shoe thats perfect for your type of foot or running style..

But in my opinion, since I have a rather high arch in my foot
I went for the Asics 2120 it's really durable and soft but can be a tad bit
on the heavy side but thats because I was use to my Puma Derby Trail Racers
which I wore for trail running and so were superlight.

IMO, asics are the best running shoe out there!

I asked a footlocker guy for running shoes and he showed me Nike.
I told him I didnt like Nike and I prefer Asics
and he told me, "Actually Asics are the best running shoe brand out there...

people just don't know that."

[exaggerasian]

I run in Nike Shox and they feel soo nice

[Fallencorruption]

Go to Champs, Chick's, Snail's Pace (if you live in So.Cali.), Sport Chalet, Lady's Foot Locker, etc. They have nice running shoes, and sometimes they're on sale. I got my $84.99 Nike Air Moto Max for about 50$. (:

Hm, for brands, you can get New Balance, Asics, Avia, Nike, Saucony..it depends on your running style, though. There's cushioning, neutral, support...@_@;

Ask the salespeople to help you (:

I agree. for some reason the toebox of the turb OH makes it look gigantic, and i personally think almost close to a wide side.

To the topic starter-I wouldnt worry so much about what other people mention as being good, just try on as many shoes as you can and pick the ones that are the most comfortable for you. Also, they should be comfortable as soon as you first put them on. Don't buy them if they are the wrong size and expect them to stretch or have to break them in.

[Bboy Stan]

I would go with Asics...I'm planning on getting a cheap pair myself.

[emysiu]

NIKEs aren't the best choice for running shoes. I've run several marathons and I can speak from not only my experience but several other runners that they wear down so easily. Trust me, your best bet is to go with either ASICs or New Balance. Nike is definitely geared more towards basketball.

I find Nike Shox give me good balance when i run good width u just feel so steady =)
