With running as a hobby you do not need much equipment and do not need to spend a lot of money, but it is important to get a good running shoe. To determine what type of shoe you need, you will need to know the characteristics of your running gait. For example, when I run, I slightly pronate so I need a shoe with medial support. Check with us at First Choice about what kind of running gait you have so that you can lace up and get on the road.
