I am thinking about starting running. What are the best (inexpensive) running shoes to start out with? (as far as brand and model)
Answer
excellent idea. nothing is better for your physical and mental health than running :)
i've been running cross country since sophomore year of high school; hundreds and hundreds of miles later, i have been through a few types of shoes.
my favorite has to be Adidas Supernova Sequence 3 GORE-TEX Shoes, but they're around $110
for a cheaper alternative, i would definitely go with Adidas Kanadia TR 3.
amazon has new ones (both men's & women's) for 45 to 50 bucks (which is where i got mine). that may seem expensive, but for as good of a shoe as they are, the price is well worth it. all the customer reviews agree with me as well.
they have minimal fabric & are very light weight (very important for running), have layers of open ventilating mesh that keep your feet cool & dry, extremely comfortable, and minimal padding under the heel, which helps you avoid landing on your heel when you run (running landing on your heel is terrible for your arch, ankles, knees, and back).
the shoe is designed to not weigh down your feet like many shoes do, and encourages your feet to be in the correct position when running (run landing on your toes, always).
they have tons of grip on the bottom, which makes them perfect for running outdoors (be sure to run in the grass outdoors, never on concrete. it's terrible for your feet). the lengthy grip also means they will last forever...hundreds and hundreds of miles.
overall, you will not need another pair of running shoes for a longg time.
p.s. if you're ever running indoors on a treadmill, (once you have the landing-on-toes thing down) always run barefoot (in only socks). it's the best thing you can do for your feet
sorry for the novel; hope it helps!!!

what should I use for waterproofing shoes?

I am training for a marathon, so I got a really nice pair of running shoes. However, I am moving to Seattle, which is almost always rainy, and I know shoes get stretched out and don't fit as well after they get wet and then dried out. I was just wondering if there was a product, like scotch gaurd or something, that would be ideal for running shoes.
Thanks!

I've used SnowSeal on my hiking boots: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001H3T8M0/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001H3T8M0&linkCode=as2&tag=picnicpointpe-20 but I've never used it on my running shoes.
I just put my wet shoes on a shoe/boot dryer after I get home. Here is a link to an example of what one looks like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0063L0MOO/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0063L0MOO&linkCode=as2&tag=picnicpointpe-20
I haven't noticed that my shoes stretch (or shrink) when I use my shoe dryer.
