Running shoes

[UGene]

Thanks a lot for all the replies, I'll definitely put your advise to good use. I'm liking what I've read about the NB shoes and I'm thinking of trying the New Balance 854s or the New Balance 805s. I'll probably stop by a Foot Locker or Sports Authority to see how they feel before I buy them online.

My boyfriend has a pair of the 805s's--which he really liked. My dad has the same pair too...he only buys New Balance because he has wide feet and no arch.

Cool, thanks for the info, I've got the same low-arch deal going for me too, I'm looking mostly at shoes for moderate pronators, NB seems to have a lot of street cred in this area.

If your serious about running, take a look at some Brooks. I run in Brooks' "The Beast" and love them.

shin splints-- prob not your shoes. I always get them running on pavement (esp hills). Stick to track/ trails...also a shot of cortazone helps.
