I'm sure it is all individual but since I have been walking faster and trying to incorporate some jogging - I need a new pair of shoes. I do a majority of my walking/jogging on the beach and/or hiking type terrain, but am also on roads/sidewalks for some of the time.

Suggestions??

    You should really go into a running store and get them to fit you/try a bunch of pairs on. Everyone is different.

    ^This, there are lots of good shoes, but you want the ones that are good for you.

    Absolutely this. I just went to a running store and these are the best shoes EVER! Feels like walking/running on clouds. And they were no more expensive than if I'd gone to a normal shoe store.

    I love love LOVE my saucony's -- I went to a running store too and seriously, it has made ALL the difference!

    one day I grabbed the wrong pair of shoes - I think I have a new balance pair for just wearing - not for working out - but didn't want to go back home and decided oh well, I'll just run in them anyway...holy crap, I had shin splints and aches and pains for days after that run. never again...

    we all favour different brands and different models..don't be swayed by other people's preferences. go get your gait checked, and pick one that works for YOU..as you will be the one running in them!!
