could I get your opinions on these running shoes?

You really shouldn't pick shoes without getting fitted for them. Just because they don't hurt your feet when you try them on doesn't mean they are right for your gait, stride, etc. Sorry!

Go to the store and get fitted anyway. If you buy from the shop, you can use the gift card to buy a second pair.

Do you need new running shoes right now? You could just get a pair of shoes to walk around in--I call them "Daily Drivers."

I got the Saucony Kinvaras to walk around in when I had a gift card...and I got the most bad ass color combo I could lol.

I guess I'm missing something. Why would you not buy a pair of your normal running shoes? Are they not working?

[texassmith]

To be blunt, you're just asking for an injury by running in shoes you weren't fitted for. If you really have only one running store around, go back and ask someone different to help you. Ask them to watch you run and help you pick the best shoe.

I don't love them. The toe box is too wide. This pair of Nikes have a more narrow toe box. 

Then go to runningwarehouse.com and find what kind of shoes they are (stability, neutral) and find something in that same pronation family.  You may still not like them even when you run in them which is why I like LRS since you can usually exchange them.  If you want to check your own pronation, you can use an online one at Brooks or Mizuno.  They gave me the same result as all LRS.
