Your link didn't seem to work.
What style of runner are you? I'd advocate as little a trainer as possible (as in less cushioning and support rather than size). I use Nike free 3.0's but have used Vibram five fingers before and also normal running shoes. they all have their different features and are suited to different running styles. some on here also advocate plimsoles (as in the shoes you used to wear at gym glass when you were 6yo!).

Hi Bernadette
My opinion, not a qualified I might add, would be to start out with some mid range running shoes. Buy shoes that are designed for running! Stay well away from fashion trainers as they will offer no or little support and cushioning. Some say running in very flat plimsoles is the way forward as this is as close to running barefoot as nature intended. Not saying this is wrong but if you are a new runner this will be shock to the system and your brain will rattle! If your going to take it up regularly get fitted out by going to a local running specialist and get them to put you on the treadmill to see how your foot strikes. This will determine what type of running shoe to get. I personnally have used mid range Brooks for ages and get along grear with them. Ascis are very popular as are Saucony, New Balance, Nike, Reebok, Adidas etc. I have set up a site recently where you can read about good deals sports items and currently have some reviews on cheap trainer deals online. Find out what you need and check back to my site and hopefully find yourself a bargain. SaveOnSportsandFitness.co.uk Happy running. Hope my opinion helps!

If you are just starting out and doing shorter distances then it's the ideal time to start with little or nothing on your feet. if you're on this site (rather than runners world) I assume that you're looking for the most long term healthy and functional way to run. If so then going to a "proper" running shop will only lighten your wallet. They only work to make you believe spending an extra 50quid on a pair of trainers is a good thing. Gait analysis tells you only how you run in the trainers you are wearing at the time. Save your money.

It's a tough question to answer, as both previous posters have stated. It depends on how you run and how far you intend to do it.
Personally, I prefer the method advocate by FKPimp - natural running on the balls of my feet. This is how I run barefoot so seemed intuitive that this is how I should run in shoes. Studies have shown that this lessens the impact point and shock through the legs/spine, reducing the incidence of injury (see my next point).
Many popular running shoes are designed for heel-toe running, which is how you would be told to run if you were to talk to most of the guys in the specialist shops as this is the "established wisdom". Trouble is, this can be damaging for the knees. The whole cushioned sole was created by Nike in the 80's and since then the incidence of knee and hip injuries in runners has increased substantially (many citations, just google it). This "established wisdom" is actually derived from the marketing campaings for the shoes, and even Nike are back trackng somewhat (see the latest adds for the "Free" range - "get back to barefoot").
If I were to recommend shoes for running and the user wanted to try barefoot I'd go for the nike Free 5.0 or 3.0 varients or the Inov8 F-Lites, but this is based on my experience. I'm also partial to the New Balance 130 range (all are unisex).
If you aren't sure, I'd look for a pair of Nike 7.0 shoes. These have more cushioning so can be used by a heel-toe runner, but are also designed to encourage a more natural gait. I'd truly avoid anything with an overly cushioned sole - my wife was recommended a pair like this for her running by the "sweat shop" staff and her knees hurt after just a few miles, and she hasn't been running barefoot style. Prior to this she had a pair of Nikes with less cushioing and never had any problems.
If you are interested in looking at barefoot style running (which really doesn't mean barefoot - more like "natural running" IMHO), look for some information on POSE and/or "Evolution running".
Hope that helps some.

"The idiots are self regarding consumer slaves oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waistbands below their balls. They babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool e-mail of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots!"

"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"
Here endeth the lesson.

Nice - second review I have read on these and both have been glowing (I'll try to find the other one and post a link).
