Not so good for: Muddy shoes indoors :)
I remember a time when I bought the cheapest trainer on offer in the sports' shop when I was a student in the UK. I ended up running in weird shoes, the weirdest being an indoor tennis shoe, although I did not know it at the time. Then I started buying "real" running shoes from a running shop in Aberdeen. The recommended shoe at the time were "stability shoes", something I wore for many years after.
That is, until I noticed the sole of my shoes last year. The picture above shows my current running shoe. As you can see, it is unevenly worn, with the inner, bottom part of the soles practically brand new. I am a mid- to fore-foot striker. Even more interestingly, it was a natural running shoe (bought from my friendly local shoe shop) which I would now not trade in for any of the padded stuff you get on the market today.
But you can learn a lot by looking at the last pair of shoes you have been running in. Bring them to your local shop and they will be able to give you some good advice. :)
