Top Comment: Everybody has different feet. Go to a running shoe store and get sized correctly. There are so many running brands out there, just go with a reputable brand. Avoid those cheap Amazon brands.

Top Comment: If you want to best set yourself up for success, I’d strongly encourage you to get fitted at a running shoe store, let them scan your feet, talk through your stride and gait. It’s worth it.
Good running shoes

Some context, I’m 6’3 330lbs I’m trying to get more in shape and I have two pairs of Reebok’s that I have had for years. Both don’t have much tread or grip. I’m looking for some decent runnings shoes that aren’t typical name brands like adidas, reebok, etc.
What would you all suggest (I’m also using them for yearly fitness tests)
Top Comment: Proper fit should be the highest priority. Try to get into a running store and try on 10+ different shoes from multiple brands. Go home with the pair(s) that fit like a glove. Edit to add: Replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of running will go a long way towards injury prevention.
Are Running Shoes Really Worth It?
Main Post:
Hey everyone,
I’m new to running and have been making great progress over the past few months. I started running in my Nike SB Force 58 skate shoes (not exactly designed for running, I know), but they’ve worked surprisingly well for me! I’ve gone from 14-minute miles to 7-minute miles and have completed several 5Ks and 10Ks in these shoes with no major issues.
That said, I always see other runners wearing fancy running shoes like Hoka or New Balance, and it’s got me wondering—should I invest in a pair of proper running shoes? Or is this just a trend that doesn’t make that big of a difference?
I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences. Thanks!
Top Comment: My running experience improved tremendously when I got a pair of running shoe

** I know you should replace shoes every year but thought that this sub would know of some better brands. what running/athletic shoe brands are durable, made of solid material, and made well?
Top Comment: You don't replace your shoes after a year. You replace your shoes after you've put enough miles on them. Maybe that's 300 miles, or 400, or whatever you decide. Don't go by the calendar, go by the odometer.
