Heart and sole into jogging … but do you have to replace expensive shoes every year? Photograph: Anthony West/ Corbis Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper. I jog regularly, probably doing something like 12-15 miles a week. I bought some proper running shoes for £150, but one year on I’m being told I should replace them. Will I knacker my knees if I don’t pay for new trainers? Which running shoes do readers recommend? What do you think? Do you have a problem readers could solve? or write to us at Money, The Guardian, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9GUMany of you will be familiar with the idea of ‘neutral’ running shoes. For those who are not, here’s a brief explanation. ‘Neutral’ runners neither over-pronate (where your foot rolls too far inward upon hitting the ground) or under-pronate (where you foot doesn’t roll inward enough upon hitting the ground).

Such runners are encouraged – by most brands, at least – to wear shoes with maximum midsole protection and minimum medial support. We rounded up the latest batch of neutral shoes to see what’s what… Asics Gel-Ds Trainer 19 Strengths: The engineered mesh is stretchy and supportive, making for a glove-like fit. nike shoes for cheap in indiaAsics has also loaded these full with specs, such as a ComfortDry Sockliner, to make the upgrade from previous models feel truly worthwhile.nike shoes with black soles Weaknesses: The 12mm drop heel to toe might have the Tarahumara fan club getting their huaraches in a twist.nike shoes in india price 2015 Best for: Runners with a neutral gait looking for a lightweight, flashy shoe with all the specs.low price puma sports shoes

Style: Reflective strips, blinding yellow and punchy blue will make you look more like Usain Bolt than Kilian Jornet. Decide for yourselves if this is a good thing. Value for money: At a smidge over the £100 mark, you should rightly expect lots of specs and a shoe to last you many a good mile. best walking shoes that can get wetThese live up to the task on both counts.nike shoes online india cheap In a nutshell: You can often judge the quality of a shoe on the number in the name. ‘19’ suggests Asics are on to a winner here, and we totally agree. Skechers Go Run Ultra Strengths: Manages to provide significant padding while remaining as flexible as a yoga teacher. They’re also supremely comfortable with a roomy toe-box. Weaknesses:The amount of midsole protection creates a high ride, making them less responsive than more minimal alternatives.

Best for: Ultramarathons in the hills and on the road. Could also be used for recovery runs on tired legs. Style: Understated in blue and grey, the Skechers Go-Run Ultras are an all-business affair. Value for money:At £84, you’re getting a lot of shoe for your money – a relative bargain. In a nutshell:A flexible, comfortable shoe perfect for the more-is-more brigade and those looking to run seriously long distances. Strengths: Super comfortable, with 25 per cent better cushioning than before, yet much lighter. Weaknesses: Some who are used to the Glycerin line may be heartbroken to hear that the DNA drop-ins (Brooks’ signature gel-cushioning units used in all previous versions) have been ditched in favour of a new “Super DNA” compound, as found in the Transcends. Best for: Neutral runners looking for good cushioning and responsiveness. These will serve you well for putting in some serious training miles. Style: Effortlessly slick, as you’d expect from Brooks top-of-the-line shoe.

Value for money: Pricey – but worth every penny. In a nutshell: Brooks call this the ultimate ‘float shoe’ for the neutral runner. We agree – these are heavenly to run in. Strengths: Light without sacrificing on cushioning, these shoes encourage a midfoot strike despite the 8mm drop. Weaknesses: For such a lightweight shoe, the tongue feels unnecessarily cumbersome, making them feel less snug a fit than the New Balance ‘Fantom Fit’ promises. Best for: Race day on the road or some mid-paced training miles. Style: New Balance was one of the first brands to up the ante on eye-catching colours and this shoe is no exception. Value for money: Good for the big day and for training, you’ll get your money’s worth. In a nutshell: At first glance, the blown rubber outsole suggests these shoes might be a clunky ride. But never judge a shoe by its rubber – the 890v4 feels smooth and fast. Strengths: Mo Farah says this is the best Pegasus yet and, on first impressions, we’d have to agree.

The shoe packs a great amount of cushioning, courtesy of the Zoom Air units, while it also hugs the foot thanks to its streamlined fit. Weaknesses: The toe box is a little snug and the sturdy midsole lacks a little flexibility when you really want to push the pace. Best for: Long, road runs when you just want to feel the miles ticking by. Style: It’s Nike, so what do you expect? Understated aesthetics in go-faster blue. Value for money: At £85, this is really good value for money. In a nutshell: A seriously well-cushioned shoe that packs a big bang for the bucks. What are your favourite running shoes?
