New Shoes!

Well its my day off today. Thank goodness! Lately things have been a roller coaster of exhaustion. So we headed down to Road Runner Sports, our local running store. I opted to go through the whole measurement routine again as I have really ripped up my foot, heel and toes, so I wanted to see how it was going.

The measurement routine is free so you don't lose anything by doing it. Most running stores offer it in some way or another. I did started this 5 years ago and its immediately brought out benefits with no knee, hip and ankle pain. Buying a good set of shoes just wasn't helping without some advice.

Anyway as only a gadget geek can do I went the whole hog on the shoes. I got custom made insoles which I thought would maybe be another 30 bucks. Oops I got that wrong! However I went through the whole procedure and the first thing to note was I no longer need Motion stability shoes! My left foot is neutral now and the right only has a small over pronation. So I get a bigger selection of shoes and they will be lighter. I opted for a pair of Brooks as I will not wear Perl Izumi due to their marketing campaign. The shows feel awesome so I'm looking forward to Wednesday to try them out.
