Is anybody on here a runner? I think I'm going to start jogging in this little park behind my apartment building. It's pretty hilly so it would probably qualify as cross-country, I'll probably do some street running as well but the emphasis will be hilly and grassy stuff.

Any recommendations for shoes? What's a good price in Korea?

Go to a shoe store. Try Myeongdong or Dongdaemun if you don't know where to go, but you should find shoe stores near most major subway stations.

Prices are the same as in the US on average, but some are way cheaper and some are way more. New Balance are my favorite.

There is a New Balance store in Itaewon. The prices are a little cheaper than in Canada but not much.

Asics are my choice for running.

Asics and New Balance are the most popular shoes with runners.

Each company has their own stores just about everywhere in Korea.

If you need a size bigger than U.S. 11, you'll need to head to Itaewon where I have heard they carry sizes up to 13.
