What are some good brands of running shoes? I'm really into jogging lightly at the moment till I can move my pace up faster. The shoes I have aren't good on my feet. I'm outside a lot now that its warmer chasing my toddler around.

    Look in your area for your local running store. They will measure your feet and fit you in the correct size shoe for the type of running you plan on doing. I prefer Brooks Ghost, as does my wife. My friend wears Mizuno and my Son wears Nike. It's all in the fit. Get the right shoes and you will run happy.

    I love my Brooks. I was fitted at a local Fleet Feet store, and they recommended several shoes to me based on my stride and foot.

    Definitely go get fit for shoes; they will evaluate your stride, gate, etc. I currently run in two pairs: one for the road and one for the trail. I have a high arch, but a neutral gate

    Road: Brooks Launch (Love, love, love these)
    Trail: Brooks Cascadia 7 (these have awesome tread for dirt and leaves off road)

    When I started running a friend of mine told me not to skimp on shoes. You need good shoes for support and so forth. Go to a running store and get fitted for a shoe that is for your foot. Then what you can do is purchase that same shoe at an athletic store after that. I used to be a New Balance girl. I love new balance. They are the only shoe I never had to "break-in". No blisters. That is the shoe I was fitted for at a running store, so after that I kept buying the same shoe but at a athletic store or on line at www.joesnewbalanceoutlet.com - they have some superb sales every now and then. After my new balance days I now like Saucony shoes, so I go back and forth from New Balance to Saucony. Every once in awhile you can find a pair of new balance that are still made in the USA. That is a plus! Good luck and happy running.
