Hi everyone,

I’m new to running and just getting started. I’m looking to buy my first proper pair of running shoes and would really appreciate some advice.

About me:

- Male, 178 cm / 55 kg (pretty lightweight)

- Beginner runner

- Mostly running on roads/pavement

- Planning to run a few times a week, short distances for now

Since I’m quite light, I’m not sure if I should go for max cushioning or something more lightweight and responsive.

I’m mainly looking for something comfortable, beginner-friendly, and not too expensive if possible.

Any recommendations or tips on what I should look for (or avoid)?

Thanks!
