Even on day 1, it's apparent that I'm going to need to replace my shoes. I don't have a ton of experience in buying running shoes, because all the workouts I do (as far as kickboxing and MMA is concerned) I am barefoot 100% of the time.
I know that the way I run has a huge impact on the shoes I need, so what kind of suggestions do you all have to find the perfect shoes?
Running shoes?

Re: Running shoes?
That's actually what I ended up doing last night. My husband and I went, because he needed new running shoes also. But he basically runs for a living. (He's a Marine.)
Re: Running shoes?
If you are used to exercising barefoot anyway, you might like to try your running like that. I've started this recently, and I like it – I built up by going through Get Running again.
