Hey! I'm a female runner. About 40 pounds overweight. I currently run 3 miles every other day. I have a neutral gate. Any recommendations on running shoes? Thanks!

    I love my vibrams! I have both kso's and bikala's, and switch between the two, although I am natural a midfoot stricker, have been since I learnt to walk and run, so the transition to them from a more cushioned shoe was pure bliss. In the past, I did have a lot of luck in Saucony's though.

    Your best bet is to head to a running store for the best selection, and find what works best for your foot.

    I had the same problem with the shoe issue. I am currently wearing good ol champion runners from Payless! I had $250 sauconys and Im not going to that I love my champions wayyyy better and they only cost me $15 with all the discounts and stuff. Oh yeah I have extremely wide feet and they work well for me!

    I agree about going to a running store and trying on different shoes since everyone's feet are different.

    I'm also a neutral and I have Nike Air Pegasus+ 29 and I absolutely LOVE them! They are super comfortable and I haven't had any knee problems since switching to these shoes, even when running almost everyday.

    Here's a link to what they look like:
