I have recently started running again and i am trying to train for the princess half marathon. I have been wearing Nike free run and my knees are killing me. Can anyone recommend a good pair of running shoes that aren't going to set me back $200.![]()
The Free is an OK running shoe IF you are running correctly. Many of us tend to heel strike which is when you need a padded shoe. Look up Pose Running and barefoot running (no, you don't actually have to run barefoot!!) and learn to strike properly with the correct cadence. Then look at New Balance Minimus, Inov8s. I have minimalist mizunos with a little padding but they are not my favorites.
