So, you'd recommend, ya ? I've only been running for 12 weeks or so, and will need to gear up soon (but, I do have some decent shoes)
Generic cross trainers are great but the further you run the more you will pick up tiny discomforts you wouldn't get with expensive (Jog Shop) shoes. I still haven't had the money to buy them yet and I'm young enough to be able to get through the little pains, but I'm definitely considering it.
