Hello
I am not a runner but would like to start, slowly. I have no arch in my feet, they are completely flat. I started up running around the block twelve years ago for a short period and went to a running shop where I was able to try various styles of running shoe, I ended up with a pair of Brooks. I stopped running and threw them out. Today I visited the same running shop and tried on various styles and brands and found that Brooks were again the best fitting and support for me. The shoes cost £120 and although I believe in buying the best and 'you get what you pay for',I thought I would ask if anyone can suggest a cheaper alternative that is just as good?! My feet are awkward and will cause me pain in my shins if they are not supported correctly.
I also need a couple of sports bras,
running tights and a light jacket so already I'm looking at £200!
Any runners out there please tell me if i should buy the Brooks or if I should try your recommendations first.
