My old pair were just some old Asics Gel something or other that I bought at Dick's for ~$40 a couple years ago. Buying running shoes has always been a challenge for me because A) I make absolute shit for money at my job, and B) I have wide feet, so I generally can't even look at a pair of shoes if it's a "medium" width. As virtually every pair is. Finding something I can afford but actually fits me properly is no easy task.
