I am in desperate need of some new running shoes (I've had mine for years now). I am finally getting serious about running and the ones I have now are starting to give me blisters.... not fun.

I need to stay at or below $100.

Anyone have any good ideas on good running shoes for women?

TIA!

    asics gels! I love mine. I also bought some saucony, but didn't like them as much- less arch support.

    My daughter runs in Brooks. Watch for sales - they get pricey but worth it

    Mines are Adidas with bubbles on the bottom. Feels like you are on a cloud. Got mines for about $60.

    There is a shoe store by me called Road Runner and they have you run on a treadmill without shoes on. After you can tell them about how much you want to spend and they will find you a shoe for your feet

    Maybe there is a store by you that has similar technology?

    Brooks are supposedly the best running shoes on the market.

    I personally wear nikes but the shoe that I've been running in for the past year is no longer made (running on my last pair!:grumble: )

    I've looked in to saucony but they're rather heavy, asics are good shoes for running but my toes are a little wide for that, I've heard that brooks are stiff - but I think i'm going to try those next.


    good luck!

    If you're serious about running, I'd suggest you go to a running store and have a professional evaluate you. They will watch you run and help determine what type of shoe you need -- stability, cushioning, etc. Is it important for you to get the shoe proper for your feet and running style. At the place I go to, they even allow me to run out in the parking lot to make sure the fit is good.

    I am best fitted in New Balance stability shoes but that is for my feet and running style. You may be quite different.

    That is what I just bought! Wore them the first time yesterday. I agree they were like running in a cloud!

    Thank you everyone for you great feedback!

    I might try and do some research on those type of stores that test out what shoe is good for you. I had no idea that even existed!

    I used to cheer and we wore asics. Those are pretty comfy. I will do a little more research and check out all the shoes you guys mentioned.

    Again, thanks so much! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
