what sneakers do you wear?

Hi- I'm a newbie after unsuccessfully trying running about 7 years ago. First week down and all good Anyway.... looking at all the new swanky sneakers on the market. I'm planning on going to a good running store in the area to get fitted but just wondering, what do you wear?

Hi! I am a New Balance Active Ambassador and I LOVE my NB 890s!! They are cute (mine are purple!) and super light. They also come in widths so you can find a size that fits you perfectly...I would def check them out!

Asics here too. I am currently using the Asics Gel Nimbus 12. Best shoes I've had ... no injuries or shin splints .. happy feet!

Mizuno. Bought them at the runner's shop. The SA picked 2 pairs after checking my anatomy on the treadmill with a video camera and the Mizuno-pair was the perfect shoe.

I don't buy brands but shapes/right support and let the SA choose the show. I just sit after the running on the treadmill and wait for him to pick the right choice. This makes shoe-shopping so easy and carefree.

I went to a local running store and got fitted for new shoes. I have a mild overpronation and a wide foot so they put me in a New Balance WR860. Not a pretty shoe, but it feels good.

Yayy for New Balance!

It took me awhile to get past trying to choose the cutest shoe...it will be worth it to have the right shoe for your body!

Re: what sneakers do you wear?

I just got Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11s last week. Evaluation at the fitting was that I had moderate over pronation, noteable ankle instability and a need for cushioning. The clerk brought me 4 models of shoes...Saucony (2 types), Brooks and Mizuno each for moderate stability and cushioning. For me, the Brooks were the most comfortable and have corrected problems I was having with knee pain. Highly recommend a good visual/video fitting.
