    Do you run? You need the shoes that suit your lifestyle.

    Don't buy your first pair of running shoes off the Internet. Go to a specialty running store and get fitted. If you put yourself in the wrong type of shoe, you risk injuring yourself.

    Yep bought my first pair of "running" shoes off the internet for $150 and they had me in so much pain for a week. Go to your local store. That's what they are there for.

    Definitely go to a running specialty store! They will do a tread analysis to see how you move your feet. I've been running for years, and I still go there to get retested for new shoes. And the new shoes will change from year to year. I used to wear Asics, now they have fitted me for Nike.

    personally me and all my running friends HATE running in Nikes. Asics and Brooks are some of the best running shoe brands IMO. Go to a running store, get fitted and shop there. Most places even recommend a half size too big in order to accomodate the foot swelling while running.

    def what is mentioned above... go to a local running store and they will fit you for the correct shoe. they look at how you walk and how your arch is, etc. and surprisingly aren't that pricey. I have bought a few pairs and all were $90 and under and have suited me well for many many miles
