    no idea why I posted that. BBC said ''it doesn't matter'' so I thought of the rock and googled him. There seems to be no benefit to buying a pair at 120 as apposed to 60quid and the bbc reckon those gait tests are bollocks. I've got some nike air running shoes and they do the job great, both on treadmill and outdoors.

    its hard to find nice looking running shoes. Do you prefer standard black and white or are you into the coloured ones. I like these, but I wouldn't fancy wearing them in the gym.

    Recently picked up a pair of Nike Free Run 2's at an outlet store. Been using them for running outdoors and at the boxing gym. There might be better shoes out there, but they're the lightest and most comfortable running shoes I've ever owned.

    For something cheaper and still pretty comfortable, I always liked my Saucony Jazz Nylons for running, though I liked them more on the treadmill than outdoor use.

    I been a fan of the Nike Air max. Personally I think it feels like running on clouds in relation to my other running/basketball shoes I have used.

    Was about to post this.

    Thing is, there is so much grip on them and I don't have boxing shoes so they grip on the canvas making it slightly harder to throw and use my legs.

    Until recently I had a pair of Brooks Launch, phenomenal shoes, and I got a lot of miles out of them.

    Switched to Nike Air Max, still great shoes, but as mentioned above the grip is a bit of an issue if I'm wearing them for training.

    The Air Max Tailwind series are also very comfortable, but I haven't tried on the newer models. The only problem I have with Air Max line up is you're screwed if the air bubble bursts. They're not supposed to from regular use, but things happen. The Nike Pegasus series is another one to look into.

    Brooks are good shoes and not stupidly expensive, I got mine after suffering from pretty bad shin splints and they cost less than my orthopaedic insoles! Haven't had any problems since and they last really well. They won't be right for everyone though, Brooks are more of a support shoe where Nike are more neutral for those who don't have a high arch.

    Your best bet is to go to a specialist running shop, they can tell you what sort of shoe you need and if neccisary fit you with custom insoles for extra support. I know that documentary rubbished that sort of stuff but tbh Panorama is a pretty sensationalist show which usually has an agenda. All I can say is it worked for me and i'd never go back to buying any old running shoes and taking a gamble.

    Puma EvoSpeed are great, I got them recently after having ASics and I dont give a **** what that documenatry says I notice a big difference. They are very comfortable and really, really light. Only thing is they are quite expensive I got them cheap in america otherwise I usually wouldn't pay that for shoes ($100)

    Hook,I've had problems with running shoes and I wanted a pair that were OK for the gym AND running.Had those Nike Free Runs but no use if you need cushioning.
    Just got Nike Vomero 7's and they're working out just dandy.
    Best thing to do is go to a running shop.There's one here that films your feet on the treadmill,then plays it back to see exactly how you pronate n ****.
    Let me know how you get on mate.:good
