I’d like to start running as part of my martial arts training so I was wondering which shoes I should get

Definitely Saucony brand. They specialize in running shoes; they’re lightweight and comfortable.
I absolutely adore my Nike Shox & if you have an iPod that’s compatible, you can set it up to tell you all the details of your training like distance, calories & speed! Good luck!
If you get running shoes I cannot stress the importance of going to a store where they have professionals that will size and fit the shoe for you. The place where I go throws you on a treadmill to see if you have any kind of pronation and also measure your arch flex among other things. If you buy the wrong shoe or a shoe built on looks you may develop some serious problems from prolong use. And don’t use your running shoe in your martial arts training, use it for running only. If the store tries to just sell you shoes without trying to do anything other than find your shoe size, walk out.
