Do you think I should try the shoes before buying or I can go ahead and buy online? My point is: Would it be best to physically go to the store and try some shoes other then buy online?
So you're using the compression socks after running? Would it be ok to use thrm while running as well?
And yes, I've had it in my mind for years that running sucks and I hate it, but when I finally tried it and pushed myself beyond my usual boundaries I found that it's extremely satisfying and the health benefits are amazing.

if unsure always hit a running store to get fitted first. hoka's aren't always recommended for runners learning form, better for people who know good form first so it depends where you are at really. Someone at a running store will put you on a tread mill and should tell you where you are at. You can get compression sleeves i guess. some people use them and say it helps, not sure i would like it myself, especially for longer runs.
wow listen to all the gym rats in here with knee comments haha. I have had ZERO knee injuries and I'm 40 years old. I have trained as a power lifter, for sports performance and for endurance racing and have yet to have issues from running. In fact, i probably have more lean mass than most of you still. Just because you meat heads can't handle more than 20 mins of cardio doesn't mean others can't prosper from some running. David Goggins, look him up. The guy runs 50-100 milers and still has more muscle mass than any of you, and he used to be fat! Man up.
