high body weight does not mean you need more cushioning. i used to think the same way. i'm 195 and running in a pair of gloves on my feet and my knee pain is almost completely gone.
referencing my go-to book again - studies have proven that people running in cheap shoes are LESS prone to running related injuries the runners in expensive shoes. the same holds true for people running in old shoes. again, less prone to injuries than people in new shoes.
READ THE BOOK!!
i had a pair of free 3.0 v2s that i really liked, but i returned them because the blue pads on the outsole fell off (probably shouldn't have used them to play indoor soocer
). i'm tempted to buy another pair but i'm not sure how much use i'll put them to since i'm really enjoying the barefooting thing. but for anyone not planning on changing their running style, frees and any other minimalist type shoe should be avoided.
