best running shoes cheap image

This is probably a stupid question, I just started running and i'm using cheap $20 runners from walmart. They don't hurt my feet. I think they do the trick.. But should I actually buy some proper running shoes?
Answer
Cheaper shoes usually weigh more and will fatigue your legs faster(expensive shoes can weight less than half a pound and feel like nothing is there). Shoes should also be fitted to the arch of your foot, cheap shoe usually just have a generic arch that is bad for your feet. Next is arch support, with the cheap shoes you will feel it the next day. The grip on the bottom of the shoe should keep your foot stable. You also want the shoe to fit nicely to your foot, almost feel like it is part of your foot. If it is loose you can easily roll your ankle You should also make sure the shoe have comfortable heel support. Your calf muscle could be pulled from wearing improper shoes, and they will definately be sore the next day. The expensive shose will cut a lot of time off of your runs. I use to run Cross country and half marathons and the right shoes could cut as much as 30 secs off your mile times. The right shoes are important if you are a serious runner, but if you are only going for jogs every now and again walmarts should do fine.

Ugh, Maxime, this is my Y!A fear coming home to roost. Adam W was likely my other account, and I likely was promoting Avias before I had better information.
Avia shoes wear out quickly. They start out very comfortable, but progress to causing aches and pains much sooner than other brands. I had a series of problems which I thought were related to a variety of other things, but most of it turned out to be my crappy shoes. Stay away from Avia shoes.
Do visit department stores looking for sales, especially Kohl's (that's how I know Maxime pulled this answer from one of my old posts). You can get higher quality shoes like Nike, ASICS, and New Balance on sale if your timing is good. Typically at the beginning and end of running seasons, they discount athletic shoes to clear out stock and make room for new styles that all of the high school runners "must" have.
