I've never bought a pair of running shoes in my life, but I'm looking to start running about 2-3 miles a day outside and I live in the mountains. Is this a decent shoe for that?

Do a trail sport, use a trail product... If you live by the mountains, a trail running shoe is better than a road running shoe for three main reasons: Protection, stability and grip

If you're going to be running trails then yes, but for road running you should get a regular road shoe. I have used my Mizuno Wave Riders (9, 10, and 11s) on roads and crushed gravel trails at home as well as mountain trails in Montana. I've never felt like I needed more support or protection than what I got from the Mizunos. That being said, you really should go try some shoes on before you buy anything.___________________________________I will second what Barrett said. These will be great for trails, especially in the mountains. If that's what you are looking at, my I also recommend Montrail Hardrocks:http://www.backcountry.com/store/MON0076/Montrail-Hardrock-Trail-Running-Shoe-Mens.htmlThese are considered IMO the "Subaru Outback" of trail shoes. They are extremely popular, comfortable, very durable, and is the heart and soul of the Montrail trail shoe line. A solid shoe.
