If you haven’t had a gait analysis I do recommend to have that so they can put you in the right shoe either supportive or neutral runners need are very good or any other proper running shop not sports direct they don’t have an idea about trainers etc. So I have a pair of brooks ghost 11 the 12 are out now and the brooks Glycerin 16 are reduced and the ghost 11 are reduced you will get them in the £90 pound bracket 😉

I have saucony, they are great shoes, but you need to get fitted properly, because you can set your heart on a brand and they'll just be wrong for you. Saucony just happened to be a good fit for me. If there's a runners world near you, or runners need, they will sort you out.

I haven’t had gait analysis done in a shop but I work for a physio who did her own analysis when, for the first 4 weeks of c25k I suffered with terrible knee problems and general leg problems from the waist down! She said I overpronate and needed support running shoes. I bought the brooks adrenaline gts19 , they are brilliant but would recommend some form of analysis.
