You're made to think (by clever advertising and gimmicks, gel, support etc) that you can't possibly run in cheap trainers. Like I mentioned earlier I ran in issued Hi-tecs whilst in the army, I recorded my fast ever 5k of about 17:20 in them. Unfortunately it was an army marked course and doesn't appear on my PO10 profile.
My next best 5k is 17:50 ran in Adidas Supernova Sequence Boost a support shoe(because I pronate). Whilst I was a couple years younger when I ran the army time I did so in the what I'd now consider to be the cheapest and nastiest trainer I've ever owned. At the time I ran because the army made me, since I've left I do it to keep fit and for "fun" I probably don't need £100 boosts but I choose to wear them in the hope that they are the difference between a decent run and a PB. Truth in my opinion is that they probably make marginal difference and as long as the shoe is suitably fitted (I go up a shoes size in running trainers due to swelling when I run) I don't think you'll see much difference.
Adidas/Reebok, Nike, Brooks, Saucony, New Balance may all tell you that you need gel, foam, cushioning etc but these companies are trying to sell you stuff. Many of the top African runners run barefoot at the beginning of their careers. Just look at Zola Budd and how well she done without top (any) trainers.
