Shoes Recommendations for Treadmill

Which shoes do you use for Treadmill. My budget is about $100.

  • If you're running on treadmill, get plenty of cushioning. Wouldn't recommend Free Runs, got hardcore shin splints on hard surfaces. Now on Adidas Boosts but they're quite a bit more than $100.

  • Just get a pair of decent runners (not just for your treadmill). Wait till a good pair of Asics go on sale.

  • There's no 'perfect shoe'. Go to a place like Athlete's Foot and get fitted so you know what your arches are like and how much support you need. Don't buy anything from the store, just "think about it" and then go and search for shoes online in your budget that provide the support you need.

    The wrong shoe can give you more grief than it's worth, especially if you're new to running and don't have good form and will probably overdo it and have to deal with things like shin splints.

    Go get properly fitted, then find the right shoe for you based on their recommendations. If you don't feel right about going to Athlete's Foot and not buying and you have basic health cover with some Physio cover, go to a sports physio and ask them to recommend a type of shoe for you - with basic cover it'll probably be a free visit.
