Thanks for the encouragement "booktrunk" x

Thank you for commenting Gary. I'll take a trip to a Specialist shop and see what they say. 

p.s. We are both "great" British classics!

Hi,

I'm in my late 40, about 2 stone over weight, suffer with arthritic big toe joints and have had 4 operations on my back. Dospite this I'm going to give running another go. I say another go, because I did it for about 2 months last year and lovedit, but the pain in my shins was indescribable. I wasn't using proper running shoes, just regular trainers as I couldn't afford to buy any proper stuff. So the good news is, now I can! But what?....

I run neutral apparently, I have relatively high arches, but I am heavy on my feet... always have been, even when I weighed a healthy weight. So please can I ask, is cushioned the way forward for me, or motion control? 

Thanks for taking the time to read this x
