What recommendation do you have for running shoes that balance quality with affordability? I've just done W3D1.

Lots of tips there for looking after those feet and ankles, when you find the correct shoes for you:)

Shoes are such a personal thing but I would definitely recommend going to a good sports/running shop and take advice from staff. Avoid cheap / fashion brands. Good luck happy running

Go for gait analysis so you have the right shoes for your feet, ( & therefore for your legs too). 😄

Have a look at SportsDirect - they have their own very affordable Karrimor range as well New Balance at decent prices.

Asics and New Balance also have outlet stores online and at Outlet Villages - and very big discounts.

As for other retailers, look at StartFitness.co.uk , SportsShoes.com and Amazon.

But above all - try before you buy ,to see what suits you and then shop around.
