June 30, 2010 - Shoe Love...

Yo run gang,

For those of us with a favorite running shoe model, life is good, it’s when you’re in between and searching … that no run can feel just perfect, good maybe, even great … but not perfect. As a running store guy I can still only get so much advice on what shoes might work for me. By knowing my foot type, the mileage I’m running and what shoes I’ve liked in the past, the brilliant staff at Running Fit can narrow down my choices and after trying on the several suggestions I can head out the door with the best fit, the best guess. With this system I often find shoes that I like and that work well for me … but the real answer will not be known until I’ve grooved in a bunch of miles and get to know the shoes and how they perform for me, intimately. Like so much in life, it’s not until we’ve been down many roads and in all conditions do we know the experience is, true love. Shoe love?

I’m currently loving my Brooks Cascadia trail shoes, as for my road shoes “I really like” my Mizuno Elixers … the search continues, but a pleasant search it is.

Love your run,

Randy Step, an obsessed runner, taking a serious look at a pair of “Nike Lunar Elites” … and wondering when Nike stopped using “Air” in their shoes? Shoping, searching.
