I guess the non light weight ones are those that will have more cushioning materials. These would help with the shock/impact on the road.

I guess those will be good for you as you just started running alot.
Light ones, probably for those fast runners who prefers lighter shoe Doesn't weigh down their feet. but of course, not as much shock absorbers stuff.

If u are new to running, dont ever go for light weight shoes that had very little support and cushioning.  Go for something more cushioning and give you good support.  A lot of runners are illiterate and thot that when a light running shoe is a good running shoe.  Totally wrong.  In fact it may give you more harm and creating injury as you run.  Let me knowif you are interested to look at Saucony as I am selling the brand in MY.

Hi there newbie 

The reason the shoes are lightweight shoes is because there is significantly less cushioning in these shoes
Lightweight shoes are more often then nt, nt recomended for everyday training..
Lightweight shoes are used only for say, speed workouts? once a week fartlek or tempo training?
Some oso use it for race days only..

If you are talking abt shoes for everyday training like mebbe alternating between 5km, 8km, 10km during weekdays and the occasional 20km LSD.. do look into getting a proper pair of trainers as you'll learn to appreciate the provided cushioning..

There are I am sure a million brands as you know to look at as well as types..
But the most important to look at would be does it suit your foot type?

**Aiks, thought me post before metalfreak and ccube, sorry for the repeated info then

Do you know your foot type; under pronator? over pronator?
Hv you done the wet feet test?

Meebe you should do the wet feet test first, show us then our resident shoe man can share his recomendation with you..

I'm running with the Pacesetters on Saturday. w00t cant wait

bubb13s,
I dont think so. But everybody hv to pay entry fee - RM5 per head

hhhm..I asked the new balance shop fellas about the pain of my fore feet...seems like its not because of the arch...may be shoe problem aih =(.

Plan to hit the gym on tomorrow till Tuesday. then run on Weds...
Anyway.....GU gel..1 for RM8 mahal~

sry.. i know nothing bout wet foot.. but i do have wet palms n cold feet.. dunno y..

anyways, anyone running ipoh international run this year? or siemens?

left foot is OK, right foot seems to have a higher arch.  Neutral shoe will be fine, but ensure that the shoe have good arch support especially for your right foot. moderate stability may help too.

ccube - do you think H10 is good for bubb13? What is your definition of neutral?

Good luck with shoe hunting it'll take a bit of time and sometimes you may feel you need two diff shoes on each leg
