Right shoes for heavy person who loves running?

My suggestion is to go to a running store and get properly fitted for a pair of shoes. Let them know your budget and they will work with you the best they can.

I know you said you cannot afford $100 shoes, but think of how much money you would pay for healthcare should you become injured from wearing improperly fitted or cheap shoes.

Um, what?

Yep. Been laid up 6 months now, and still have inflamed achilles tendons and plantar faciitis from running in cheap shoes. And I stopped as soon as I felt pain.

Judging by your posts, you are pretty much a troll. Get ready to be reported.

Agreed that it will be worth it to get fitted and pay the money. I did ONE run in cheap shoes when I first started running and fractured my foot.

Don't twist my words around, that is not what I said. I have run 12 marathons, 2 50 mile Ultramarathons and countless lesser distance races. I have qualified for and run the Boston Marathon 4 times, so I know what I am talking about.

Are you trained in gorilla warfare, too?

I agree 1st thing is to get fitted. There is a place near me that has a thing you step on and it reads your feet. Then gives you a print out of which shoes are best for you. Honestly those places have higher priced shoes usually unless they happen to have a pair on clearance. That that list and do some research online to find a more budget friendly pair. Academy always has good prices on running shoes.

Note: I'm heavy and I absolutely love Mizuno's. I pay a good bit for them but I also have seen them online for good prices if you buy previous years style.

Nice way to divert from the topic at hand, about which you clearly know nothing.

Proper running shoes are an investment. Don't buy cheap shoes, save up if you have to, it'll be worth it.

I am over 100 pounds overweight. I have lost 23 so far through hard work. During my journey to a healthy new me, I have found that I love running. I run in at lunchtime at work, over bridges, around the park, around my neighborhood. This is my "go to" cardio.
I just want to know if anyone can recommend a good sneaker for running that will both support my weight and not be too expensive. I tried looking on line and running shoes are over 100 bucks. I cant afford this right now. I need something more affordable.

Your feet are the main reasons to support your "love for running". If you are going to not support them with good fitted shoes (cheap or expensive doesn't matter) be prepared for consequences.

That being said if you do not want to invest in shoes have you thought about barefoot running. It is not easy initially but if you can go the route of barefoot running I think you may in long run avoid the expense of spending on shoes. Jus' a thought to think about.

Good Luck.

I was just giving you more opportunities to feel special, sorry.

Honestly you seem to be nice person and I have seen and read some good comments and response coming from you. Don't change that impression. Jus' saying. Choice is yours.

Last seasons top running shoes usually end up under $100, so its possible to get quality without spending too much.
