Prior to buying these running shorts, I only wore spandex. I’m converted. Safe to say..obsessed and worth every penny! Sadly, as we approach Fall they don’t restock as often, but they’ll be back next summer too! Align ribbed tank is no longer available in grey, but linked black & white (both ribbed) and tons of other colors! As for running shoes - I have a neutral arch, and pronate. I suggest you talk with an expert to understand which type of shoe is best for your foot! But Clifton & Arahi are my go to styles! LTKGiftGuide LTKfitness
