    Folks have said some good stuff I'll only add...

    1.) Your running shoes are likely to be a half size to 1 size larger than the shoe size you normally wear. This is because your feet swell and room for your toes.
    2.) If you just started make sure you are taking days off inbetween. If you are running 3x a week, try to have a day of rest inbetween each day. Later you can add more and run consecutive, but in the beginning it's important to give your muscles/tendons etc. time to recover and strengthen on your rest days.

    Now that I think about it I'm not sure I've ever seen an actual running shoe from Reebok. I can't think of a single running store that carries them (out of 5 in my area).
