Needing some new running shoes. Suggestions?

There's a great place called varsity sports that specializes in running shoes. You get to try the shoes on before you buy them which I think is a huge plus

Go to Varsity and get fitted

Mizuno wave inspire is what I’ve gone with over the past 5 years. Are these shoes for running or just wearing around?

Shoes are way to personal. And I've got 3 completely different pair of shoes that I run in (short, distance/race, distance/training). So when people suggest going to a place like Varsity, it isn't exactly because of an "expert", it's about you trying on to see what you like. And you may like different things for different types of running.

I don't ever wear my running shoes to do anything but run. Mostly because I buy my running shoes as cheap as possible since you need to swap out every 300-500 miles. And when you buy the cheapest, they are usually the ugly colors

I’ve put about 40 miles on the new levitate from brooks... I like em. They are not nearly as mushy when you run in them as they are when you walk in them. If that makes any sense.... I usually bounce b/w saucony and brooks. Just whatever feels right at the time. Mizuno is another good one. Asics are good, but I honestly don’t know anyone who runs in them. Stay away from Nike.

Go to Varsity and get fitted, running in the right kind of shoe helps. Good people in there.

New balance is the only thing that works with my plantar fascitis....I have the 1260v7
