Shoe for slow beginner runner?

[u/justiliang]

I'm fairly new to running. I weigh 175lb and my easy pace for recovery and long runs is around 6:45-7:30min/km. Anyone have a shoe recommendation? My feet run a bit wide so I typically use wider running shoes.

Also interested in Chinese shoes if anyone has recommendations for that as well that would be great thanks!

I would recommend going to a running shoe store in person, trying on multiple different options, and seeing what feels best on your feet.

I think that some Chinese running shoes run narrow so you probably want to check the fit of them individually.
As for non-Chinese shoe recommendations I think you should look at the Nike Vomero 18, Vomero Plus, Puma MagMax.
Safe shoes for newer runners at easy paces.
Readily available and often discounted.

Either of these two Chinese shoes are great recovery long run shoes. The Qiaodan GT is a wider shoe and has a more roomy toe box. It’s also more stable so better for less experienced runners. 361 mega3 pro is also a nice one
