As you start, if you perceive pain to your joints, don't force yourself, go to a physical store and buy the shoes with medium or high cushion that feels the most comfortable to your feet.
As you grow into the sport, your body will be more tolerant of non-ideal shoes and you could just buy based on reviews and deals online. That will still depend on how hard you train though
Obviously these aren't shoes you wear on a date.
But the Runfalcon 5s are solid value at $20.
Considering there is a front page deal for $10 Chinese insoles, I'd take my chances just cycling these out periodically.
Just be aware that they are budget shoes and thus not that durable. When used as a running/gym shoe, the padding and overall support will wear out quickly. As one should expect for a $20 shoe. The bottom and top parts will eventually detach, but I have never had that happen in a situation where "how long have you owned it?" and "what did you do when wearing it?" didn't justify its life. Lesson being to just use these explicitly for running/cardio while new as opposed to reusing the shoe for daily use.
Circle of life. Track shoe becomes a walking shoe becomes a lawn/auto maintenance shoe. Just like a going out shirt becomes a lawn/auto shirt becomes shop rags.
The Samoas are probably the better dad shoe, but I don't recall having owned a pair. They just look more casual-stylish.
I went with the Galaxy 7s this sale as they should be the best "do nothing good, but fail at nothing" compromise.
This is probably as good of a deal direct from Adidas as you are going to see between now and Christmas.
Just be aware that SHOPBRANDS20 is a limited use coupon. I'd probably pick up a pair if I could reuse the coupon, but again went with the Galaxy 7s for mixed use and then Duramo SL 2s for my daughter.
