You'll fuck your feet up if you have anything less than 50 dollars with bad form.

Learn how to barefoot run and you can literally run in any shoe. It's not as mechanically efficient for distance running though be warned.

Ideally you'll want to upgrade eventually, but there isn't a whole lot of harm in running in regular sneakers (providing you're doing short runs and not marathon training or whatever). I run in four year old Nike's that have no business on anyone's feet, but then I'm a poorfag too so you do what you can.

Also, can this be a /running/ general? My left foot pronates, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to fix it, or if it's just something I have to learn to put up with.

Aw man. I'll have to save up for a pair.

I forgot to mention that I have extensor tendinitis in one foot and really high arches. Are there special shoes for that??

Yes you will fuck up your feet

Go to a specialty store.

You can get inserts for high arches, but supposedly they break down very quickly.

your feet are supposed to pronate when you run

>>35277111
You can still do light jogs and distance walking with those shoes if you are looking to do some cardio. I know that brand and the sole is just to stiff. You'll end up hurting your joints.

Google "pose running" to find out what is anon talking about when he talks about form here >>35277056

And yes, there are special shoes for your condition but you would have to go to a store where they are going to charge you a lot more than 7 dollars for shoes.

Damn this is gonna be an expensive hobby for me.

>>35277171
Imma stick to jogs until I can get some better kicks. Bad joints don't sound fun.

>>35277151
But only one foot and not the other? Is this really supposed to be the case?

>Imma stick to jogs until I can get some better kicks.

Better than nothing m8. Best of lucks.

>>35277242
both of your feet are pronating. Are you saying that your left foot overpronates? Or supinates (underpronates)?

I've found over the years that good running shoes are one of the few "premium" items that are well and truly worth the money despite needing to be replaced every ~500 miles or so. Just make sure you go to a running store and get fit. Wearing the wrong size or wrong type can be just as bad wearing shitty shoes. Tying too tight or too loose can cause injuries.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOOOOOOOSE

I've run distances in worn out running shoes and it hurts. A good pair will usually run in the nature of $100, but they're worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. I have high arches and use power step orthotics. They're about $30 at most running stores or a pharmacy that carrys home health supplies. They wear out after like 6 months, but then again so do your shoes if you're a heavy runner.

I used to wear new balances, but I bought a pair of the first generation Brookes PurCadence and I've been a Brookes fan ever since. They're minimalist shoes, but they're posted (awesome arch support, especially with inserts). Very light, good support and super comfy. You need to go try on a few pairs. Different brands, styles, etc to find the right one for you. Any good shoe store will be able to help you with this.

I don't wanna get built yet, I wanna lose weight. Then get built.

I googled and found a running store in my city. They even have a treadmill to test out the shoes you want. :D

>>35279419
Thank you, I'll check out those orthotics.

Just run in what you've got mate. Down the track you should invest in some better shoes though.
