Thanks for that link. I've heard of REI the website before but never knew they had stores. Do you know the location of the one in Soho?

I'll third it: go to a running shoes store. At least get fitted your first time, so that you know your correct size (most people don't), correct width, whether you are a neutral runner or under or...

Apart from going to the running store and finding what you need/like-
you can shop for older models also. Stores like amazon and most running stores (b&m) will sell older models cheaper.

Wait, you overpronate? Whoops, I just glanced at the Saucony link and assumed that you were a flat neutral runner. The Cortana say "RUN - Neutral" at the top but then mention "Built with just a touch...

So for Saucony, I should look for shoes that says RUN - Light Stability on the top? And for...

after they suggest a pair to you, remember you don't have to buy it there. You can always get it online for cheaper price.

Yeah they had me run on a treadmill and told me I overpronate and that those shoes should correct me. How about the Saucony Kinvara? How do I tell which shoes are right for overpronaters?

I need a new pair of running shoes. Just for jogging. Any good ones out there? Must be under $100! I'm looking into ones that can bend and have good ventilation.

It may be but when times are rough and you need to make ends meet anything you can do to save money helps. Also some of places are so over priced it is an insult.

Ahh. Didn't know it can get that serious. I run like twice a week and I run for about 30 minutes each time. Indeed, these are the first running shoe I am actively searching for.
