Running Shoes for Beginners

[@jimmybondy9450]

The last sentence is by far the most important.

[@runninghack]

Go to a running store and get fitted. A good running store will have a treadmill and someone knowledgeable will tell you if you underpronate or overpronate. Based on this they can recommend a neutral shoe or a stability shoe and the major brands are probably going to have one for you.

[@damo8694]

Total gimmick for majority of population. What you expect from the shoe plus usage far outweighs this

[@333jjjjjj]

This is a good list if you want to play dress up as a social media runfluencer. If you're an actual beginner who doesn't know what speed work is and are just trying to run 3 miles without feeling like you're dying, don't completely cheap out but I would say spending around $70-150 is adequate. Most people can handle neutral shoes. If you are heavier look for shoes with more cushioning. Shoes in that range will be just fine, even for half and full marathon distance.

So which shoes would you recommend ?

[@soccerball12]

if you’re gonna play expert then give us some recommendations. this dude is clearly a runner and i’m not sure why you’re shitting on him

[@333jjjjjj]

@abiwhite25187 i don't dispute he's a runner, probably a better one than I am. I just don't agree with the recommendations. For beginners I recommend any of the following, as "do it all" shoes. You can experiment with rotations for different types of runs after you have some experience. Saucony: Kinvara, Ride, Triumph Nike: Pegasus (i agree with him here. these are fine all around shoes, I don't consider them bricks like some have said) Hoka: Clifton, Mach, Arahi, Bondi Asics: Gel Cumulus, Gel Nimbus, Novablast Brooks: Ghost, Adrenaline, Glycerine Puma: Deviate Nitro I don't have much direct experience with them but I think anything from New Balance or Adidas in the price range I mentioned is probably fine also.

[@skoojha5216]

It’s extremely important to get your gait analysis done and buy shoes for stability if you are overpronating or supinating. A wrong type of shoe will bring in heaps of injuries. I ran for over 8 months in a neutral shoe instead of stability shoes for overpronation. My knees always used to hurt, my shins were paining. Only after i switched the shoes i have started feeling much more comfortable and active. All the load that used to go to my knees and shins, now gets transferred to my quads, adductors and other muscles. and i feel relatively fresh after each run. Proper running shoes are as paramount as proper running form. Don’t get a shoe without gait analysis. You will thank yourself later.

[@playarabbit]

I like the Pegasus line because if you are a minimalist and you want a shoe that's all around it works. I hike, Run 10ks, Rap, travel & being a Dad I only need one shoe for each function but Reebok floatride, Hoka Mach 5 are also great alternatives But Alpha fly is my tested pick for "Only Race Day" & 1 mile Pace runs 🏃🏿‍♂️

[@ezracovarrubias9667]

Also, pick up some good orthotic inserts and see if they work for you. From my own experience they’ve helped soooo much.

[@klipklapklop3359]

Psa: do not get the superblast for easy runs it is priced as a supershoe but doesnt have any plates. Its a weird shoe not cheap enough as a daily not fast enough as a race

[@sjeffy5137]

I think the Endorphin has a lot going on for a new runner to be honest. When people are just getting into running I think they reap a lot of benefit from going with a more “boring” shoe like a Pegasus or a Ghost, something that they can work on their fundamentals in that won’t interfere with anything, no rockers or plates. I think the Pegasus is a good choice, but I’ll admit that I think there are much better options on the market at that price range. (Edit) very much appreciate you recommending new runners to go to a shoe store in person though. That’s the best shoe recommendation you can give.

[@biscaynesupercars]

Just bought the Nike Pegasus 41. I want to be able to run the Miami Marathon next year. Wish me luck

[@GagePruittXC]

The best trainer I have ever used is the invincible 3. I have 410 miles in one of my pairs right now and they still run fine. My other 2 pairs have moderate mileage and they are amazing. Best track workout shoe is the streakfly. Best road workout shoe is the Vaporfly 2 or 3. Best shoe for versatility is the Tempo next %. Best race day shoe for half < Vaporfly 3 or alphafly 2. Best for marathon is alphafly 3. Notice they are all Nike because they are undoubtedly leading the shoe game right now. Do not get Pegasus!! Shin splints will occur after 50 miles or less and they are awful after that. If you prefer other brands the novablast 4 or the newest brooks ghost are about it for trainers. Sauconys cushion doesn’t keep up with other brands and every shoe feels like pegasus

[@anthonyolivieri413]

When somebody recommends the Peg as the best shoe for beginners I know Nike paid them

[@Steven82736]

Why please explain I’m getting into running and I am looking to buy running shoes that i can just use for any running training.

[@daveinacave]

@@Steven82736there’s nothing inherently wrong with the Pegasus, I used to wear them as my daily trainer, but the Pegasus has had a TON of advertising recently, and sometimes Nike can really go hard on its ad campaigns so I kinda see the original commenter’s point. But that doesn’t mean this video was a paid sponsorship, and if you want them, go for it! But I would recommend getting fitted at a running store and being able to talk to a sales rep about what you are looking for and they should be able to point you in the right direction. But ultimately, running is a simple pleasure! It’s fun, and having the gear can be fun too, but don’t let not having the “right” shoes stop you! Plenty of shoes work, and until you find what you like, there’s nothin wrong with putting on something that fits with some cushion and doesn’t break the bank and going for it! As long as you don’t hurt yourself, you can really run in anything you’d like!

I’ve had the Pegasus 35, 36, 37, and 39. It really is a well rounded shoe that works for a large range of dynamics. I would definitely recommend for beginners. When I was struggling with a hip alignment issue the peg 37 was the only one of my shoes I could stand to run in. Before the 40s came out I picked up the 39s for 75 bucks.

Superblast has Asics' top tier foam: FFTurbo. Novablast has FFblast+ which is EVA. FFTurbo is bouncy but doesn't last long and expensive, FFblast+ is more durable and costs less. Superblast is for recovery runs since it is a max cushioned shoe, Novablast is a daily workhorse.

[@soul-gt7dl]

@@mycroftholmes8261 Plated shoes are running shoes that have a carbon or different material plate in between the sole and the outsole. It is used to return energy to runners more efficiently than just traditional foam running shoes. I believe nike was the first introduce a plated shoe with the most popular Nike Zoomx Vaporfly Next %, there have been 3 releases of that shoe, and additionally the Nike Alphafly Next % which was the shoe that helped legendary marathon runner Eluid Kipchoge run a sub 2 hour marathon for the Nike project 159. Nowadays all major shoe brands produce what they call a super shoe or “race day” shoe that is generally comprised of the brands best quality foam, along with a carbon plate, and extremely light uppers. This makes for a shoe that is extremely fast and has outstanding energy return allowing for fast runners to run fast for even longer. The issues with plated shoes is that most of them (the ones for race day or super shoes) is that they wear out quickly in comparison to normal trainers, and are quite expensive generally $250+ from most major running brands. Now there are plated training shoes such as saucony endorphin speed or nike zoomx tempo but there are a lot of conflicting ideologies where some people think plated shoes should be saved for races and others think you benefit from the recovery while still being able to exert more effort. Me personally, I run 10 miles per day. If I am running on the road or similar terrain I am normally using zoomx tempo, speed 3, or new balance supercomp trainer, all plated shoes. But for my long runs (10 miles +) or for treadmill miles or just slow miles in general (slower than 7:30 minutes per mile) I will use non plated daily trainers like NB Rebel v3 or Endorphin shift. But truth be told, if someone isn’t in the shape to run at a fast enough pace or for long enough (beginners) the benefit of a plated shoe isn’t really going to be in play, nor is it going to work for someone with bad running form, which again, is 99% of beginner runners. That’s why most people don’t recommend plated shoes or super shoes for beginners.
