I have lost 30 pounds since March with about 20 more to go and have for the first time In about 15 years become interested in walking and running and just getting out and about without being in a vehicle.
I really don't know what I need. Currently using a 3 year old pair of New Balance but after a mile or two they are super uncomfortable and pretty heavy it seems. I have a really wide foot which makes it hard to get shoes that are wide enough without having to buy a size too long.
If anyone who runs can make suggestions that would be great. I eyeballed my routes on GPS and all 3 of them are over 6 miles which I would like to do on a daily basis so take that into account.
I also want some form of performance measuring either via the shoe or an added mechanism of some kind. The pair of Nikes I have right now use a small chip in the sole and an app for the iphone but Ive never bothered using it and I don't know if it is something only Nike offers.
Absolute maximum price is $200 ( counting having the ability to record/log performance either with the shoe or otherwise ) but would love to be around $150.
Its just hard to tell whats decent in a sea of gimmicky space bubble cushion sole astronaut looking shoes.
