Going to start doing a bit of cardio because muh heart
Are flat minimalist running shoes the way to go for someone who hasn't run in his life?

Well there's a good start. What you have pictured has enough of a cushion on the heel to ensure you won't destroy your knees in the first two weeks.
If you're starting running, might as well learn to do it the right way.
>>35310850
can you not run with normal shoes?
do you need special shoes to walk?
>>35310850
If you go to a running shoes store they can examine your (nonexistent because new but they should still be able to help) gait and recommend some shoes.

You don't really need shoes at all to be perfectly honest, but the road to bare foot running begins with baby steps.
I'm in year 2 of my transition and I can finally run unlimited distances without straining my previously dormant muscle groups.

This is someone who doesn't run regularly.
If you want some of the best at an okay price, shop Brooks. Solid shoes with real support and aren't shitty meme shoes.

Minimal shoes might trash your achilles if you don't have the ankle flexibility. If I were you I'd get fit at a specialty running shop (and then buy online)
Never run in Nike shoes. They are shit for running. Buy some Brooks, New Balance etc.
Hmmmmm ok
I have really bad flexibility in my hammies and calves, I'm talking I can barely even touch my toes
Been stretching multiple times a day, things are improving slowly
I guess I'll consult a running shoe store and go from there

marathon runner here
those shoes are the fucking worst for running
just buy some asics shoes theyre the best quality running shoes
what's the best sort of shoes to wear if you walk on concrete all day long? i mean walking like nonstop, not just standing around and shit.
currently wearing typical newbalances and using two sets of insoles, one for plantar fascia and one gel to replace the shitty foam.

Asics, Saucony, New Balance. Find a proper running shoe store who will give your foot the type of shoe it needs.
Running in those Nikes will make you want to end yourself.
>>35310850
running with these. Nike flyknit 3.0. they nice. The less padding on the heel the better. Learn to land on your forefoot.
If you want minimalist running shoes, go Saucony. Ignitions are good and cheap. Otherwise, Saucony, Brooks, Asics all know more about making traditional running shoes than Nike. New Balance is good if you have wide feet.
>>35310850
I literally have those shoes. I wouldnt use them for running.

Sketchers go ride shoes

buy into this barefoot meme, op. it's perfectly healthy as all experienced runners will tell you.
What about Metcon1's, doug?

Everyone who talks shoes to me tells me either lunarglides or anything asics
>>35310850
yeah go for barefoot shoes. i started out running as a 300 lb fat shit in addition to playing rugby. your feet will be ungodly sore for the first 2 weeks or so, but once that gets better barefoot running feels incredibly easy and freeing compared to padded "running" shoes. do barefoot sprints to figure out what proper forefoot running feels like.

Girls who wear Nike Free's are sexy as fuck. It's practically the fucking uniform for hot chicks to have yoga pants, Nike Free's and a Jetta. So OP if you want to wear some Nike Free's and park your Jetta outside my place, I'll let you blow me you bulky fgt
