Hi just started doing cardio at home barefoot, after a week shins hurt like shit from it so I want to get some runners to soften the impact.
Question is, is there a big difference between the $40 target runners and $150 Nike's or what not.
Will the cheaper ones make any difference/ be worth it or not at all?

This board is SFW matey.

What shoes you wear matters a lot.

Don't be a cheap fucker, and get proper shoes that makes running comfortable.

You ALREADY have pain in the shins, and you ask us if you should be getting cheap shoes.

150$ is fucking nothing mate. I paid ~250$-300$ and those lasted like a year of constant running, which is pretty good value honestly.

people's feet are quite different, find shoes that fit good. imo price alone is not a good indicator of shoe quality.

Check if your running form is good before you start spending money on shoes.

Cheaper ones will be okay as long as they have EVA foam or something similar.
I got mine for 30 or 50$, the quality is shit but they cushion everything just fine and I'm 225lbs and sprint on pavement.

Go to a running store in your town. Ask to get fitted, and they should find you some good shoes. If you're just starting to run, don't pay 200 fucking dollars. Your shoes shouldn't be more than 130.

Cheers lads just to clarify, don't run much if at all, more like plyometrics/cross training, just want to ease the shock a bit, while improving form.

What counts as good running form? Imo it's distributing 70% of the impact on the balls of yor feet and 30% on your heels. Is this correct?

I fucked my archilies tendons up by running on the balls of my feet 100% of the time. I'm scared of running now

Tbh fitness industry is 90% empty marketing. If you go into a store and ask the salesman they'll give you a $150 shoe that is on a discount from $300 that uses a non-newtonian Futuretech(c) liquid foam and Smart Run Control System(tm) and runs exactly like the cheapest ASICS designed for the same arch and weight.

If you start barefoot you have to start really bloody slow, and work a lot on technique. Most people have shitty running mechanics plus really weak arches etc so that's probably what's early you the splints. I'd recommend something with no heel lift and only some padding if you are gonna get shoes for running.

I had a fucked Achilles tendon from chemo and shit. Doing negative calf raises helps if there's chronic tissue degradation there.

Also I learned how to sprint properly and that made me understand how to run at slower speeds better so maybe google sprinting videos.

Some people don't bust 300 dollars on the fly for something that will last a year just for a hobby :^)

Not OP but I have a question

Every time I run I get an ache on the outside of my left ankle. I run in cheap shoes

Is this more likely to be a shoe issue or a form issue? Or something else?
