The wrong shoes can cause knee, shin, back and general body pains as well as being just damn uncomfortable. There are also different kinds of support needed for trails or pavement or if you are racing you may want lighter shoes. All these things a specialist can help you with quickly. My local store is ran by a local running couple and they made me feel right at home and comfortable. They can give you a couple of brands to pick from and help you stay within in a budget.
I really real REALLY wish this was available in my area 😔
