Brooks ghost are supposed to be good but it depends on your gait. You should get fitted really.

Very difficult in lockdown. The best shoes for you might not be the same as the best shoes for me. You really need to try a few and possibly have your gait analysed. If you read all the advice and still decide to go for it, try the sale section of sportsshoes.com. Some very good deals and reliable service.

Your size and age are irrelevant really.

The best shoes are the ones you find most comfortable. Try LOTS on and go from there. Take your time and don't be tempted to spend more than £70... it really isn't necessary.

Good luck!
