What I recommend is a gait analysis done at a specialist running shop, otherwise you take pot luck when you buy shoes.

What is perfect for one runner may be wholly unsuitable for you.

As lannodaTruffe says-- do yourself a huge favour and get yourself booked in for gait analysis, so that you get kitted out with a pair of shoes that suit your bodies mechanics and thereby help to ensure that you don't suffer from preventable aches, pains, & injuries down the line.

I went and had mine done two weeks ago and a absolutely over the moon with the results.

As above ! (Or below, depending on how your messages are set up 😂)

Gait analysis and then the correct shoes for you .

When I bought mine I had a name in mind and even the model,

I completely changed my mind and now have the ones that are right for ME.

Good luck 😁👍
