Rec your running shoes

[Deleted]

I'm finally dragging my ass to the gym and doing some running and my sneakers are killing my feet! I have a pair of Asics GT-1000 and just don't think they are right for my feet. Should I try a different type of Asics? I was looking at the Gels. Or should I try a different brand?

Recommend your favorite running shoes for me.

Ditto PP. Go to a local running store and have them properly fit you. The one here had me run on a treadmill and they were able to see my stride and which kind of shoe would work best for me.

I also recommend going to get fitted. Even within one brand, there are different shoes that offer different things depending on the shape of your foot, your arch, what you plan on doing with them, etc. I had Asics that didn't really work for me, even though they were the most expensive model, but I went and got fitted and bought a new pair of Asics that I really like. Good luck!

Go get fitted.  That is how I found out I overpronate.  Then after a year or two of running in pain, I went to a podiatrist and it turns out I overpronate so much I need orthotics.  Which I am now wearing.  But the bottom line is still, go get fitted.

Thanks all. Googling running stores now.

During your fitting, try allllll the brands and styles they give you regardless of price. It's honestly worth it to invest in good shoes to avoid injury!

Ditto others. When I got fitted, I was told Adidas are the best fit for me due to my over pronation and high arches. It made a world of difference, and this was 15+ years ago.

I wear Mizunos, but I ditto others that you need to get fitted. I got fitted once and bought the first pair from them, but now whenever I need new ones I buy the newer version of the same shoe online wherever I can find it the cheapest.

I am a huge fan of sauconys. But I don't have pain when I run so I don't think I have special foot needs. If you are having discomfort definitely go get fitted so they can tell you what's best for your feet.
