Nike air trainers versus asics

[Janecampbell]

Could someone please give me advice? Which women's trainers are best to invest in? I currently run in asics cumulus but a friend was saying Nike air max are much better as they feel bouncier and indeed feels like running on air. Just wondered if anyone agrees with him?!

Not completely on topic but have you been to a proper running shop to have your gait analyzed and have them recommend the correct shoes for you? I have only just started the program but from reading this forum, that was the first thing I did. I ended up with Asics and I love them. So far, I haven't had any pain (other than my thigh muscles from lack of exercise!). What works for your friend might not work for you. Good luck!

I concur... Get your gait analyzed. I had been running in Asics, but after getting my feet analyzed I switched to Saucony. It was the best thing for my foot!

Thanks for the advice. I'll do that
