Best Running/Jogging/Gym Shoes

Could somebody please recommend something that one can easily slip on and start walking/jogging immediately?

I have a treadmill at home and walking is more of an impulse thing rather than doing it every morning/evening.I'm thinking of getting me one of those hush puppies but I'm afraid they'll start to stink a lot because of the sweat.
 
The Asics have got some good reviews, sadly I couldn't find much of them so ended up buying the Nike Pegasus 26+, which were by far the most comfortable shoes that I had tried within my budget (was basically looking for some shoes for trail running). Got them for 4k during the 40% off sale. You could also check out the Nike Zoom Vomero.
 
Hi,

Like a lot of posters have mentioned, Asics is a good brand for running shoes. Also, Brooks Running. I would stick with either of these two.

Before you decide on the brand, you need to determine whether you have a neutral foot, or if you overpronate, or underpronate. Most of the shoes sites have a guide as to how you can determine what kind of shoe is best for you.

Look at this site.

ASICS America - Running - Shoe Fit Chart

Secondly, if you want to get Brooks running ( Brooks Running - Men's & Women's Running Shoes and Apparel ) or Asics, you can get them via KMD on this forum. http://www.techenclave.com/dealers-paradise/do-kmd-usa-online-stores-your-109852.html

If you want to source your shoes locally, then I could recommend you the Adidas Response Cushion 18. I use the earlier revision, called Cushion 17, and they are quite good for running.

No matter what you read regarding running shoes lasting 2 to 3 years and such, the rule of the thumb is generally 400 miles or so for a pair of running shoes. Don't look at the wear to decide if it is time to replace your running shoes, some of these new-fangled materials like Adiwear have little wearing, so it is difficult to make out by looking at a shoe if it is time to replace them. For example, for me, I have to replace my running shoes every 6 months.

Again, it is very important you determine your foot type, high-arched, neutral, or flat. Even if you are going to buy from the local Reebok and Adidas store, you should know what kind of shoes will be best suited for you. Don't just go there and buy the one you "like."

Tip: Buying locally can be relatively expensive. For example, Adidas Response Cushion 18 retails for around 5500/- which is like $122. This is essentially a $80-$85 shoe..where you end up paying much more. I would suggest you look for deals on Amazon for running shoes and you can maybe get a $120 for around the same price or less! And there is a big difference in good shoes and average ones.

Hope this helps.
 
i've been training as a pro bb since last 1 and a half year. Never needed any special shoes or any such thing for normal training, doing squats etc. Always used normal floaters, which i found were best suited for me.
now i need a good pair of shoes just because i've flat feet and it hurts when i run continously for a duration.
 
cardio - 3 days a week. that includes 20min running or a 8min HIIT prog.
muscular training - 3 days.
both the things go on alternate days.

I'm amazed for such a short duration, presumably on a tread mill, you could not use the cheapest shoes at your disposal..
 
Asics can be bought through ebay globalbuy with the 1000Rs off coupon that is currently available.

In India finding asics is difficult and the very few available ones are overpriced

The point behind these brands is that more often than not, you WILL find comfy shoes when you choose these.

I tend to walk/run barefoot or with just the socks but it starts to get hot on my heels really fast hence the need for something like these.
