I need new shoes.
A year ago was 268, this morning I am 197. I'm 5'10" and 33 years old. I decided a few months ago I needed more cardio so I do twice a day exercises. In the morning at 4:15 I get on the treadmill, set it to 12% incline at 3.7 mph and go for 2 miles, then kick it down to 6% for 2 minutes for a cool down. Head to work, come home, do the dad and husband thing, then head out after the baby goes to bed for a 3 mile as fast but consistent as I can. It's 95% pavement and I run/jog for 75% of the 3 miles. I have never done this type of cardio or exercise before so never had a need to buy the correct shoes, only bought off looks. During the last month I bought I pair of generic New Balance shoes. They have lasted about 125 miles or so and are now slick bottom and have no cushion.
So, what are some recommended running on the street and treadmill shoe for a 200 pound guy? I don't have any hot spots or issues with the new balances but also don't feel like they have any cushion and I know I could have better. I am a firm believer in buying good footwear, like boots, but, since I have never been a runner/walker before this is all new to me. For now I have around a $100 budget.
Thanks.
