New Trainers

[Davey S2]

Yes I know you have to try them on, they are all different etc but does anyone have any recommendations for some good new trainers?

I have had a pair of New Balance for about 6 years and while they are only worn in the gym and look brand new the cushioning has definately gone on them and I need a new pair.

They will be for general gym use with some running (running machine not ourdoors).

Happy to go up to around £125 ish.

Thanks

Nike free v3: click? Way under budget but v comfortable.
Little support, but that's a positive to me.

No need to spend £125 unless you're primarily after fashion.

If you're doing even a little running, get yourself down to a proper running shop, get your gait analysed, then choose a shoe from the selection they have on offer.

Ever since I went this route I've had considerably less in the way of leg/knee pain.

I'm currently running on these Saucony Omni 8's which I love. I had a proper fitting at a branch of Up & Running as I need really supportive trainers. They cost me about £85 about 18 months ago - almost ready for a replacement in fact.

Why do they all look like they've been designed by some blood/crip blinged up gangsta rapper?

Just replaced my ageing Asics with a pair of Brooks Ghost trainers. Very happy so far.

I'd go for the new Asics GT2170's. I've had the 2150/60's and I would reccomend them. They a great support trainer and last well. The only problem I had was with the mesh above my big toe, but that's specific to the way I run...I buy from here:

Alternatively, the Nike Lunarglide 3+. Again, fantastic trainer and they look a bit better than the classic running shoe.
Nike always have a clearance sale on, check it out:

Thanks all

Just bought some Nike Zoom Vomero +7's which felt great in the shop. Looking forward to breaking them in in the gym tomorrow.


I went for grey and yellow though.
