To be honest, I've had my trainers quite a while and being relatively inexperienced I couldn't tell you if they were any good or not.......I would normally advise you to go to a running shop for gait analysis and expert advice, but you can't right now.
If you have had trainers that suited you, find out their characteristics, and go somewhere like Up and Running online. Find a similar shoe from their range.
My shoes split last week. I took a chance at Up and Running dot com and found a neutral shoe, width D, extra cushion. They arrived two days ago. I've done a 7k and an 11k run now, and I'm very pleased with them.
There’s no magic formula, but a decent trainer will help. For example, I suffered a bit with sore achilles in the past but these ASICS I bought sorted that right out.Cheers.
I've tried reading a few articles and they are all geared to sell the latest and greatest expensive trainer.
Just need to find some potentially that are geared for bad knees.
I'm no great runner (best 10km is about 56 minutes from memory) and I've only ran that distance on a few occasions..............
Cheers.

Fair f#cks - that takes some doing!Will be my 500th day in a row running on 14th May - thinking of a doing a Marathon.
Very good point - all my physio visits are used up on my back :-)Worth considering what is causing your knee problem, if you do not know.
Discussed it before on here but I had a few issues with my knees, when running, so over the last year or so I started to follow knee exercises on youtube and it has made the world of difference to speed, distance and enjoyment.
Similarly a friend at work started running, had trouble with her knee, and after one or two physio sessions who identified a weak muscle, she was given a set of strengthening exercises and has no problems since.
Cause of regret, I never investigated the problem and just thought I had poor knees and so stopped running. However the reality was I wasted a couple of good running years by not getting myself down to a physio and finding out the root cause.

That’s an incredible achievement pal, hats off to you.Will be my 500th day in a row running on 14th May - thinking of a doing a Marathon.
