New and Need Shoes....Help!!


Hi all as a Newbie- fresh startin tommorow evening. I need good shoes for a big girl that has not run in a LONG time. I really want to stick with it and have fun ( I am doing it with a good friend ) but I know that my cross trainers that I have now are not going to stand up to the pounding of pavement.

What do you guys suggest??

Thanks to all-Nicol

Re: New and Need Shoes....Help!!
I do marathons, and am big (200 lbs) relative to the majority of runners in these races. I have found the Nike Zoom Vomero's to be the best cushioning shoe. I'm on my 3rd pair since I retire them every 500 miles or so.
