I only started running last year. Before that, I'd tell anyone who asked me why I didn't that I physically couldn't. I'd blame undiagnosed asthma or a preference stemming from childhood to pick up a musical instrument over running a track event. And then, I finally realized that I was just getting in the way of myself and now, I run multiple times a week.The beginning of my running journey wasn't easy though and one of the things that I really struggled with was the overwhelming choice of running sneakers. I didn't know what my feet needed, but with a lot of research, I've clocked up countless happy miles in my Hoka Clifton 10s and Brooks Ghost 17s.Unsurprisingly, they're two of the 12 running sneakers I'm recommending for beginners in the list below. It's worth noting that prices will vary depending on color and size and that I've included options for both men and women in this list.Follow Tom's Guide on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our up-to-date news, analysis, and reviews in your feeds.
