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?
