I’ve had these trainers for some weeks now and they are very comfy light weight and breathable and support for your arch they are Nike revolution 4 they were from sports direct at £35.00 now I like them and what other trainers do you recommend that are at budget price I’m not one for spending over £50.00 on a pair I’m not tight I’m just sensible when spending money 😉🏃🏻‍♂️

If your shoes are comfortable then they may be fine, but without a gait analysis you will not know whether they are giving appropriate support for your running style.

Hi Kev, the phone version is not showing any photos of your trainers, the photos might appear on other versions such as laptops.

Proper running shoes cost £100 or more, running is not a cheap sport. 😊 🏃

How much lol I like a bargain if I find a reduced pair maybe then I will get a pair 😉 so you can’t put pics on here with your phone I’ve looked but doesn’t seem possible laptop like you say then will do it tomorrow as I’m going out to a brewery party so hopefully if I have a clear head tomorrow I’ll go for a run 😉🏃🏻‍♂️💦🍺

The reviews online describe them as a 'neutral' so I'm not sure about the arch support. It is just my world-view, but I would always chose to buy 'last year's model' of a more technical running shoe from an independent running store, rather than the latest entry-level shoe from a sports fashion warehouse. In my experience the independents always have some unexpected bargains if you go in and are honest about your budget.

I’ve found a proper running shop and it’s in my town centre and they just specialise in running and they have big discount off trainers 😉🏃🏻‍♂️

I need a pair and I'm worried about the price...but I'm heading to Decathlon tomorrow to see if any of their own brand are suitable until I'm in a better financial situation....my 3 children just don't stop growing and needing stuff.

Not what you're looking for?
