Are these running shoes good?

http://www.holabirdsports.com/m/Runn.../p4/042344.htm

I'm going to start jogging again, so I need a pair of running shoes. I was wondering iif those were any good. I'll probably just jog 2-4 miles / day, nothing major.

So yeah, are those good? If you guys have a better suggestion let me know!

Don't buy running shoes online if you are planning on doing more than 6-8 miles a week. Trust me.

What does it matter where you get the shoes?

do you know if you are a pronator, overpronator, or supinator? That would be the biggest question before I would purchase shoes online. If you are not sure what foot style you are, try doing the wet foot test on a flattened brown paper bag. That will help you find the most comfortable shoe.

I got blessed with flat feet, therefore I need orthotic insoles for any shoe I buy for running

Go to a shoe store where they will fit your for good shoes. I used to just buy whatever running shoes I liked, then I decided to go to a shop that actually made you do a bunch of stuff to figure out what shoe was best. Easily the biggest improvement you can make for running.

Because you can't try them on online. Any substantial running is going to hurt unless you get them fitted or know what fit you are going for.

Personally I am not a fan of these specific shoes, I bought a pair and only used them to train my clients with, and I have had some very soar feet from them. I have had better luck with Adidas shoes, specifically the A3 Gigarides, and Megabounce. If you are looking for running shoes, I would look to Asics or Saucony. Good luck and I would stay with Holabird sports as they have some of the best prices around.

Like everyone else said, go get your feet tested for what style shoe you need. I prefer full stability shoes for my long distance running. I like these so much I bought a second pair.

Get a pair of Nike Air Max 360's at your local outlet for about 99.99-129.99(compared to 160retail). You will love it. Worth the money on my opinion and very comfortable..

I just buy Shoxs for my walking shoes. I recently just bought a pair of Asics Gt-2110 and there the best running shoes that I ever bought. I am never gonna go back to New Balance. Sticking with Asics from now on.

Pics of the shoes I bought
