Soldato
Just decided to take up running as part of my cutting excercise plan now the nights are getting lighter and the weather a bit better. However, I don't have a proper pair of running shoes, just a pair of battered old Nike AirMax from the 1990's that I use in the gym. 
I've traditionally been a rower/cross trainer/cyclist but I had a blast on the treadmill the last week or two and it feels great to just run! Problem is my feet have felt heavy and lacking in support.
Everyone has advised me to get a proper pair of running shoes for as it will really help me avoid injury and do less damage to me knees. I also have a dodgy back and running doesn't help it so I want something nice and cushioned and fairly stable.
Anyone got any recommendations? I am going to pop to our local 'running centre' this weekend for their advice but I don't want them to just say 'oh you need the asics 200zx turbo deluxe, that's 150 quid please'. I don't want to spend loads -50 quid or under if I can get away with it as running shoes aren't exactly wearable with anything other than tracksuit bottoms/shorts!
Thanks in advance.
