Shoes for beginning overweight runners?
I would like to add: go to a running store to study the way you run. I have a neutral step and need cushioning. I have a pair of Nike Vomero and Asics Nimbus, and I like both of them.

Shoes for beginning overweight runners?
I just bought Merrel trail gloves but never ran with them... but they sure feel like the most comfortable shoes I ever wore.
Bugcakes, are you sure that running is the best for you? More: running in a threadmill? How much "overweight" are you? Shouldn't you consider biking first and then running when you're not overweight?
I started dieting 35kg ago, then I started walking; half way through I started doing some bycicle rides - these allowed me to exercise a lot longer, burning a lot of calories without stressing my legs, knees, feet or back. I just started running after loosing 30kg! Now I do run a lot, more than other type of exercise... I ran a couple of 10k, half marathons, trail runs (26k), and I feel I really need running to keep my sanity. Don't do it without being ready for it.
I totally agree with Diablo360x: "Barefoot running is the way to go. I truly believe it forces us to run the correct way instead of relying on a padded heel that allows us to heel strike. The arch is a natural "cushion" and many believe that it can save your knees."
I started running stepping on the heel and now I run on "toes and foot pad first", like barefoot running. It makes all the difference for knees and also to the achilles tendon.
Happy running!
