Hey everyone, I’m looking to get some new daily trainers. I’m a total noob and still doing walk runs at the moment (Runna Beginner plan).
I’m in my 4th week so far and I’m enjoying it so I decided to get some new running shoes.
About me: 5’11, 170lbs male, size 11, no overpronation (AFAIK), no injuries, slightly active background.
Currently using some really beat up Hoka Arahi 5s. I’ve had these for like 5yrs as a walking shoe. They are pretty worn out but still comfortable enough for their current use. I usually run on a sandy concrete beach path and a bit worried about the wear on the tread.
I bought some Rebel v5 on sale at the Joes outlet for $68 (~$80 after tax and shipping) just wondering if this is a decent selection? I’m seeing so many mixed things about this shoe. Mainly for durability but I don’t think I run enough for it to be a concern.
I see the popularity for some adidas and Nike models but I can’t seem to find a good deal for those or they aren’t quite suited for my minimal use and experience.
Any input would be much appreciated and sorry to beat a dead horse.
