Looking for New Running Shoes

maroro123

I'm about to start training for a half marathon (woot!) and I'm looking for any good recommendations on new shoes.
I currently have a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS. I have bad ankles and flat feet so I usually go with shoes that offer a little more support, but I also use dr. schols active insoles because they help with my shin splints (they are like magic actually!).
Any recommendations would be appreciated!
Thanks

Have you been properly fitted at a running store? Where they analyse your gait for pronation and then find a shoe to support you based on that?

I'm not a pronator and have relatively wide feet. I have Asics Gel Nimbus and they are perfect for me.

I second a running store. plus they are frequently runners too and can have some good advice

Yes, head to a local running specialty store and get fitted. Road Runner Sports is a national chain that is very good. That being said, I need a "light" stability shoe and am loving my Adidas Sequence 7's. The 8 is out now but I haven't tried it yet. I have flat feet too.

Not really adding anything new to the conversation here, but what the heck, I like to hear myself type.
Definitely go to a specialty store and get properly analyzed and fitted. Aside from getting a personalized shoe, you'll enjoy the experience of someone in the retail business actually taking care of their customer. It's a novel experience. Good luck.

The Brooks Adrenaline is a great shoe. If it plus the insoles is working for you--don't mess with what works!

I agree running store!! I am in love with my new balances and my Dr. Schols. I tend to run landing on my side and had horrible shin splints they fit me to new shoes and they are awesome shin splints gone and I am now running like a champ.

Saucony Guide and Ride are the two styles I have and love them

Asics Kenyano 20 for me!! However all asics are good, also have New Balance which are satisfactory.

Running store or if you don't have one near there is a guide on Runner's World website. That is what I did my second half marathon! It really did helped me. I was using Nike's and switched to Mizuno's. My knees were happy campers after that! Good luck on your half! I love that distance! It will always be my favorite!
