Is there a group for Running Shoe Buyers Anonymous??
If so, I need to join!
I have bought at least 5 pairs of running shoes this year including one more pair this week.
This time, it’s New Balance 859. They were on sale at Olympia Sports (reg$110, on sale for $65). I’ve worn Nike, Saucony, Brooks, Mizunos, Asics but this my first NB.
According to the website:
NB 859 features the TS2 Transitional Support System providing the essential support over-pronators, and long distance runners may need. ABZORB® SBS in the heel and forefoot … make this running shoe an excellent choice for comfort on the road.
Obviously I’m not loyal to one brand. I am forever looking for the perfect shoe. My feet always hurt and it’s just getting them to hurt less. I have even worn brand new shoes for my lst 3 half marathons.
On my 4th last weekend, I worn the same pair as on the 3rd. It was the lst time with orthotics. My feet really ached under the forefoot. I still overpronate (but not as much).
I’m going to run with these shoes after work today and see…
Happy Running! Anyone wear New Balance shoes?
