Personally I’d recommend Hoka Speedgoat 🤣

Try them all first. I once tried a few pairs that were in £200 bracket, simply out of curiosity. None fitted well. Never rely on brands and marketing, always trust your own feeling of comfort. I've always loved the look of Nike and Adidas but have never found a single pair that would fit me. Asics seem to fit me well but not every pair. Then again, who cares what they are, you only need one pair to feel great.

Yes I will definitely try and go with what feels best :) I’m not fussed about brand or anything like that, I was simply going on recommendations from friends, and wondered if anyone on here had a preference to any in particular! :)

Whichever feel the best fit, the most supportive and comfortable.

Recommend you visit your local running shop. They are non-judgemental, analyse your gait & have plenty of advice with no pressure to purchase. Be openminded about the brand as it’s only about you & your comfort. Enjoy your running 😊👍
