1-day is selling a range of sports/running shoes at very very good prices.
As an example, I see my running shoes (that I bought from them last year for $80 plus postage), for $49.95.
They were a very good deal at $80. They are the Saucony Triumph ISO 2. The reviews I read were good.
There are ASICS, Puma and others there also.
It pays to check reviews of the exact shoe that interests you, including sizing in case you should go up or down half a size.
I presume these specials are on till midday Sunday or until sold out.

    I have made many mistakes in buying running shoes. As you say you are looking it get into running so it might be a good idea to buy a cheap pair and see what you like or don't like about it. Then when you buy the next pair you will know exactly what you want in a shoe.
    Things to consider:
    Sole thickness, I dislike a thin sole and prefer more separation from my foot and the road.
    Height around the ankle, I've had some that touch my ankle joint and this is not comfortable.
    Width, I have wide feet so if the shoe is thin I need a larger size, if too large this can cause foot movement inside the shoe, blisters and less stability.
    New Balance, Asics or Saucony would be in order of my preference. Not sure about the other brands they have.

    yeah such a personal thing tbh.

    If you honestly don't know what you need/want then maybe go along to one of those stores that do running analysis (although there is argument to support both sides of the coin in that space too)…But that might at least start you in the right direction. Their prices for the shoes are usually more than the other average places - but I suppose this is what you get from a more specialist/focused operation?
    Once you know what you want/need - this might take a few shoes/years of trial/error - then you can start shopping with confidence from places overseas that will get you good shoes at a good price rather than the extortion for boring/bland shoes in the NZ market :)
    I personally go for a "structured" shoe, but don't run in just one brand - so I mix it up, switching between different shoes/brands over a couple of weeks…I find the body responds well to this…but I have run in Nike, Brooks, Adidas and Asics - all good shoes tbh and could switch between any/all of these…The Brooks feeling slightly heavier/clunky (but still good)…currently using Nike and Asics though.

    And don't expect a shoe to last years - as much as you might think it is just a sales pitch, the rubbers break down and become less supportive. So depends on what you are running on and how often, and your style and body…but I find I just listen to my body - after about 500-600km I find my knees and hips start to ache a little and that is a reminder to start switching a new pair of shoes in.

  I got started with New Balance 624 cross-trainers. They are fine and comfy for short runs of up to 7km. They come in different widths, I got a wider 4E size. Was cheap enough from Rebel Sports $78 two years ago). For me, the other bonus was that they were plain brown, so I could use them anywhere including work / formal.
