Meenzer 15865 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 OK. My no-brand German running shoes are finally giving up the ghost after several years of me giving them a damn good pounding, so I'm after a new pair (preferably with a tasty pre-/post-Christmas sales discount, but that's not vital). Only trouble is I don't think I've ever bought a pair of functional shoes in this country. Anyone got any recommendations? (I realise that these things are brutally subjective, foot-shape-specific and all the rest of it.) I'm not looking for serious running gear, more something that's suitable for the three-times-a-week jogger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hmm, I was going to ask this a while ago, but then realised I had no money so got some £3 trainers from Asda George and my feet got blistered to fuck... .... which is the real reason I only went jogging twice.. honest.

Howay 12496 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 New balance is a class make for running trainers they've got a canny range too so you should be able to find a decent pair for £30 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my shoes from a shop called Up and Running - I think they have branches all over - they cater for all levels of runners, think mine were about £50.
