And by extension, footwear too.
I put so many miles through these knees in cheap trainers, when I learned about actual running hooves from Brooks or New Balance, my world changed forever...
...or at least the shinsplints and impact pains went away!
I wouldn't suppose you could explain or post a link to those shoes?
Of course. I can only speak for brands that I've had good experience with, there's other manufacturers like Nike or On Running or Hoka or Asics or Saucony etc.
The Brooks Adrenaline range offered the best cushioning and support for my overpronation style of running (as in, I naturally land on the inside edge of my foot and roll out - Supination is landing on the outside edge of your foot and rolling in, and neutral is landing squarely) or the New Balance 680 range got me through my first half-marathon.
My advice would be to head to a local running store and see if they do gait analysis - basically they get you to run for fifteen or twenty seconds on a treadmill looking at a fixed point in front of you, and a camera records your footfall on the treadmill to see where you could benefit from cushioning (if at all), or take your old pair of trainers down and let them examine the wear pattern (only works if you specifically use the pair for running).
Secondly, don't bother buying the latest models of shoe unless you're an athlete or at least semi-pro - find out what model number the latest range is (for example in Feb 2026 the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 26 is being sold), and search for last season's model number to get them for a fair bit cheaper.
<3 Thanks!
