Best gym trainers? Asics? Reebok?

[silverlinedclouds]

I've just started doing exercise again after 6 years of doing zilch.

I'm currently wearing Adidas trainers that I've had for maybe 8/9 years. As comfy as they are, they have no grip and I think it's time I got a new pair.

I'm serious about this exercise thing this time so I'm willing to invest in a decent pair.

I just don't know where to start!
Any tips?

Asics, definitely.

Have run marathons wearing ASICS, new balance and Nike shoes. To be honest I could not tell them apart, all very comfy and all had been fitted at a proper running shop. If you can afford to it is worth shelling out a bit more for something a bit above entry level shoes.

My last ones were Asics and my newest ones are Nike. I much prefer the Asics.

Best bet is to go and try a load on
