TK Maxx had some salomon trail jobbies in

It really does depend, as above are you running on or off road? How far and how often are you planning in running? From personal experience you can't really beat a good well fitted pair of running trainers, obviously this doesn't mean spending a fortune but if you can find somewhere that can test what type of runner you are it can make a huge difference. The likes of run4it and run and become are great shops however their trainers are often 100+ but they will study your technique, whereas I know some decathlon shops also have a basic technique tester which will give you a good idea and have a much wider range if trainer in your price range.

So to summarise you can buy some pretty good cheap trainers, or get some one to look at you run who suggests you can not possibly run in any trainer costing less than £100 hmm

I actually found run4it service and advice to be a bit shonky and generalised to be honest.

And we have the notion that a £30 "running shoe" will sort someone with running issues.

I really would recomend going to a decent running shop and getting them to analyse your gait so that they can suggest a suitable shoe. Running is one of the cheapest sports going, all you need is a decent pair of shoes to help prevent injury.

Many years ago I wrote [i]The role of footwear in minimizing lower limb injury [/i] see http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02640419408732180

A decent pair of shoes, suited to your running style are very good value for money once you think of how many injury free miles you can (hopefully) get from them 🙂

+1 for a proper running shop, especially if your trying to stop injuries.

I used to be able to run in any cheap trainer ( years ago ) but then got a pair that gave me blisters every time I ran any proper distance in them. This basically stopped me running, eventually I went out and spent the cash, at a proper running shop, never looked back.

Although now, knowing what shoes I need I stock up when I find them in a sale 🙂

Not at all if you go to the right shop. I went to Start Fitness in Durham, and they ended up recommending the cheapest of all the trainers they had in that would fit me. They were paying attention to the fit of the shoe on me rather than how much the shoe cost.

I can't recommend any shoes. What's comfy for me isn't necessarily going to be comfy for you.
Don't get too concerned about gait analysis, pronation control, and other things that tend to be mentioned as important when choosing shoes though. It's mostly bollocks and much of the recent research also confirms it's mostly bollocks.
That said there's nothing wrong with going to a shoe shop and asking their advice, and they're going to have a variety of shoes.

Sportsshoes.com are usually pretty good. Big discounts on some stuff.

I did the whole gait analysis thing and compared a few different shoes and ended up with K-Swiss California for about £90...these can now be found for not much more than £30 e.g. [url= http://www.startfitness.co.uk/product.asp?p_id=45580&gclid=CICNmeqPzrsCFYbHtAod2QkAoQ ]K-Swiss California[/url]

note - these offer some moderate motion control so may or may not be suitable for you

If you want cheap and you are prone to shin splints run on the beach.

Pay for advice if you can. Running it s cheap.
