Can anyone give me some advice? My 12-year-old needs new trainers for school, and as some apparently alien sporting genes seem to have kicked in somewhere (I'm a late onset, 12-min mile plodder) I'm worrying about getting her the right things.
She's a netballer for school and area and plays daily. She's discovered a latent talent for 800m, and has just been picked for district high-jump training. She overpronates to the point of flat-footedness. I can't afford three pairs of trainers!!!

Can anyone recommend a good cross-trainer? It will need to be adult size, as they seem to be making 12-year-olds that outgrow their parents very quickly.
Any comments gratefully received...

new balance do a good range of cross trainers, try the 663 or the 1005 cross trainers.
Nike do some good Xtrainers as well but you have to be careful that you get a good pair and not a fashion pair.
I'd say you'd be best to go to a shop or two that can give you good advice on the models they stock.
Saucony and Reebok also do some good cross trainers, look for the saucony grid motion, grid r w and grid silhouette, and the reebok defy range.
Don't know about current adidas x trainers, but they have done good models in the past.
- I meant don't give her shoes with support against overpronation/flat footed ness, such as a grey area on the inside of the foot.
yep, anything prescribed for her by a professional should give as much correction as she needs, and take into account that she is still growing.
Hope you had a good shopping trip yesterday, and found something good for her?
