When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

https://www.sportsshoes.com/ and https://www.sweatshop.com/ would be the ones I use.
https://www.alltricks.com/ and https://www.deporvillage.net often have good deals also.

Thanks men, I will check these out
Btw if you are looking for something cushioned but still light enough if you want to go a bit faster then I'd highly recommend the Saucony Endorphin Speed, probably the best running shoe I've ever had.
My pair have almost 700km on them and they still feel great. They are expensive at €180 but they are great.

i run 40 to 50 miles a week and past couple of years have always run in brooks, have had few different versions of their shoes and always found them a great shoe. check these guys out, have a few good deals from time to time.  https://www.runnersneed.com/

anyone not sure on what shoe to decide on, there's a couple of comparison sites where you can compare reviews, weight, price, arch support etc etc.

I'm a big fan of brooks shoes too.

On the advice of a few erstwhile board runners I got a pair of Brooks last week. I'm only getting going at the running and wouldn't be the lightest. Had been running in ASICS and have found the Brooks great for extra cushion on my knees and ankles. I looked around a few places and ended up buying them online from Donaghys in Banbridge!!  Decent price and prefer to give it to local people than big retailers. They don't have a big range but I got what I was looking for

Wasn't overly sold on the Brooks I got last time in fairness, probably more mileage out of them but going back to the Hoka's. I need my knees when I retire
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

I changed to hoka bondi about four years ago and they're great, was asics before that but for no particular reason. I would have had a few issues with the knees back in the day playing football so the extra cushioning is worth it, took a punt on hoka after going to Pure running in Belfast. That said I was between pairs a couple of yrs ago and took a chance on the Brooks glycerin because I saw a good deal, ended up with a stress fracture in my foot, pushing too hard too soon instead of building up. Hoka definitely don't last as long though. I find anything from 300 miles on and it's time for a new pair. I think when you find a shoe which suits your feet you really have little option other than sticking with it, or you might risk injury otherwise.

imtommygunn

Agree with that. Find a shoe that works for you but everyone is different. Brooks ghost were a godsend for me and ASICS didn't work for me at all.

Started running at start of first lockdown, being reading this thread for years, I'm an old lad these days but I now run 30k a week, loving it. Just back from the Run Hub, picked up a pair of the Saucony Hurricane 23s, can't wait to get out in them.
I'm blaming you LL if these don't take serious time off my best times.

No idea about the Hurricane, the ones I have are the Endorphin Speed.

How often would you change your runners doing that mileage?

would usually have 3 pairs of runners on the go and would alternate them between longer and shorter runs, newer ones for the longer runs. Probably would be changing a pair after around 400 miles, though you can usually tell when they need changed.
