Any runners out there? I am looking to get my overweight, beerguted self in shape. Does anyone have any recomendation as to what shoes I should get? I am not looking to do marathons or anything like that so I don't need any olympic stuff, just something for a couple of miles at a time. Is anything good in the $60 price range? I have poked around online a little but haven't made up my mind. Any input would be appreciated.

I have personally always done well with New Balance.
You can get them at Kohls for around $40-60 depending on when you hit the sales and which ones you go with.

New Balance is a good shoe, but I have always used Asics (I do run marathons). The GEL series always has a couple of $50-70 entries. What you really need to spend money on is insoles, get a really good pair(they will cost almost as much as the shoes) and they will last years. If you run 2 miles a day and your heavy(over 200lbs) don't keep your shoes more than 6-8 months(unless you really hate your knees). Then just move your insoles from the old shoes to the new.

A bloody error keeps "occuring." Damned site! Thanks though, I will try that later, hopefully it will be working after lunch.

It worked for me once and then keeps coming up blank. POS. There are other links though for show reviews.

I should be able to get away with just a pair of shoes for now though. Getting insoles blows it out of my price range right now. I will look into the Asics as well as New Balance.

New Balance FTW!! I picked up my last pair at Dick's Sporting Goods for I think $29 on clearance. I've had a few pairs of NB's and they've always been lighter, and more comfortable than my Nike's & Adidas running shoes.
