It's time for me to get back in shape!!
I'm gonna hit the gym tonight, but going to the mall tomorrow to buy a pair of running shoes.
Thanks!

It really depends on your feet and your stride? Will you actually be running? Or doing other workouts?
-
I'd go to a running store for advice. PS- I love my Brooks, they fit me better than Nikes ever have, but they don't work for everyone.
-
I second what @lemondrop: said. A place like Fleet Feet or another store that specializes in running that watches you walk/run in the shoes can help you choose the best shoe for your foot type.
-
Yup, you want to get fitted. Mizunos work best for me.
-
It really depends. Runner's World has a good shoe advisor: http://www.runnersworld.com/shoeadvisor
It makes pretty solid recommendations, if you're completely honest. (For example: I went into my local shoe store without telling them which Mizunos I wore, and they recommended the same.) You can check whether you over/under pronate by checking which part of the soles of your favorite shoes wear out first.

I love Asics

I like Asics.

@cmomma17: just treadmill running!
-
Another Asics fan!
I overpronate and they totally cured my shin splint issues.

@lemondrop: @spaniellove: @MamaMoose: @theonewhere: thanks! I have a fleet feet close by so will check it out! haven't really worked out in years.. someone hold me!!
-
Another vote for going to a running store for professional advice. I prefer Asics.
-
@chopsuey: Correction...my husband says Fleet Feet might not do gait analysis (sorry!) and if you have a Road Runner Sports near you they're pretty good. Otherwise any independent running store will do it!
-
@chopsuey: We go to Big Peach Running to get measured. DH has bought at Road Runner too.
-
@spaniellove: hehe all good! Thanks for the rec!
@Smurfette: cool thanks!!! Will check them out next week!
