    Hey guys, slowly getting into this whole running thing, been going to the gym among other things for years so i always had a pair but they are wore to death so its time to invest in a decent pair

    i wear vibrams and the likes in the gym but i just dont like them for running.

    i was looking at new balance among others but there is literally 101 different variations and not entirely sure which to get.

    any thoughts or reccomendations are appreciated!!

    P.s i would like the runners to be pretty durable and not be in tatters after a year!

    Hi Mattyz69, the best thing to do is to get yourself to a proper running shoe store (Amphibian King, Runworx, Runways etc.) and have them recommend a pair of shoes suitable for you. Every shoe is as different as every person, so it is impossible to make blanket recommendations. A proper running shoe shop will examine your gait, establish your running patterns and make educated recommendations that suit your needs.

    Certainly if you're relatively new to running outdoors (off the treadmill) you may need a little more cushioning than the Vibrams will offer. Many runners do run outdoors with Vibrams, but it takes a prolonged period of gradual transition before you can move to minimalist footwear like that, without risking injury.
