Kids running shoe recommendation?
One of my DDs is taking up running. Does anyone have a shoe they recommend? This will be for distance. She doesn't need the most expensive pair, she may decide she doesn't like running, but I do want her to have a good pair. She's still in kids sizes, and has a long, skinny, flat foot.

It is going to depend on how the shoe fits. Dd1 who has a flat foot that is slightly wide does best with New Balance (she has worn New Balance since she was a toddler). Nike wides are too narrow, but again that is just her foot (Dd2 can wear Nike’s with no problem as does my DH). I haven’t been able to wear Nikes in 20+ years (and I even tried some men’s ones) and currently wear Hoka One One, but prior to last years models wore Brooks Addiction more often than not for 20 years (I would buy discontinued Asics Gel 2000s on Amazon as well). I would take her to a running store and have her sized and be honest that X is your price point and you don’t want to go over that. I have found shoes on clearance on Amazon as well but that was only after being sized at a store and the finding the discontinued colors or models in my size. I will say another advantage to the running store is the no hassle returns (my local store is 90 days). I returned two pairs for myself before finally finding a pair that worked.
