What's a good and inexpensive running shoe for a beginner? I'm willing to spend around $50

I recommend buying two, otherwise you're pretty fucked.

If you don't have any problems with your feet, you can just use any normal (cheap) running shoe.

go cheap, expensive running shoes usually have nothing different but brand and maybe sometimes design

That's bullshit. Cheap shoes can totally lack support, and if you have anything but a perfect stride they can hurt your training.

OP, before you choose, check your foot type. Lay out some white paper on the floor near a source of water and then wet the bottom of one foot. step on the paper normally then examine the print.

Compare it to this image, and if you are normal, you could get away buying any old shoe. If you are the other two, you'll want shoes with either more support or pronation correction.

Check for recently updated versions. Like the Brooks brand "Adrenaline GTS" series is great, but usually around $90. They just released the GTS 8, so recently when I was getting a new pair (last week) I scouted out the GTS 7 on sale CHEAP ($45) for an EXCELLENT shoe that will last at least 500 miles.

I'll somewhat agree here. I was traveling and I forgot my running shoes but had to get a few runs in so I hit up a nearby K-Mart and bought a $15 pair of "Athletech" running shoes. They were surprisingly cushiony and responsive so not a bad run.

I'll warn you though, cheap shoes don't usually breathe well, so get ready for sweaty feet by not wearing cotton based socks. Also they will not likely last past 100 miles before falling apart. Just keep that in mind.

Question related to topic

I got new running shoes, and old rugged running shoes

When I run with the new shoes my left foot (my feet arent symmetrical, fucked up legs etc) get all screwed up and it feels like sinew at my left leg is about to burst.

With the old shoes I dont have this problem unless I overdo my exercise

basicly the question is that where I could find help to find proper new shoes, as my old shoes are in horrible condition, yet are better than the supposed good new shoes I bought sometime ago

Yeah, new shoes can be a bitch to break in. Sometimes it's recommended to get your new pair earlier than usual and switch off between the new and old till you break/get used to the new.

Also, running shoe stores like "Finish Line" or a local running store are good at telling what the situation is. There's a chance you may have bought a pair of shoes for an over or under pronator when you have a normal stride, or vice versa.

I highly recommend either asking their expertise before you buy, or figure out your stride type and read some consumer reports on shoes to figure out which are designed for what style ( runnersworld.com has some good shoe review sections ).
