[QUOTE="ed209clark, post: 2692682, member: 115650"] Just like hunting, have the right shoe for the job, I have a different shore for the gym, Hokas, under armor or viktos, a different shoe for running on the road and a different shoe for trail running, At 57 I run 160+ miles a month(a new pair of shoes every 3 months) and have used ASICS, Nike, brooks which are my current goto for running on and off road. Whoever said it depends on the shape of your foot is correct, I like soft shoes with lots of cushion i also us orthopedic inserts to correct for pronation, if you want to run and not have issues with your knees and hips, I would suggest looking at them as well. What no one tells you is get a 1/2 size bigger if you are going to run anything more than a 5k and never ever tighten up your laces to much because your feet swell as you run. Buy good socks, it matters and you won’t get blisters so spend 20$ a pain on the hood one like BALEGA!!! or one with 60+ % merino wool like biosox or “darn good socks” they are an important part of support and comfort, maybe as much as the shoe itself find a good combo and try not to change a lot of variables at once(like reloading lol). Find what works and feels best to you and don’t be afraid to change and donate the ones that don’t work for you, at least that’s what I’ve done in the past. Ed that’s me @ OUC half marathon a couple weeks ago, I crushed my kids dreams of beating me lol [/QUOTE]
