If you are just starting to run, the Supernova Prima is a great entry-level choice — the midsole uses the new "DREAMSTRIKE+" foam, softer than regular insoles with good rebound, reducing impact on knees and feet.
The stable feel and solid support mean you don't have to worry about imperfect form. Very beginner-friendly.
