Stick with what ya know

New Kicks

After 2 1/2 years with my old running shoes...

I finally broke down and bought a new pair

My previous shoes that I was running in were Asics. I loved them, they fit my feet well and my feet did not ache after I finished a run.

I kinda wanted to go with a different brand this time, mostly for cosmetic reasons. I wanted shoes that looked different from my old ones, and the shoes Asics has out right now look a lot like my old ones.

I read blogs and reviews on various brands. why people did and didn't like them, and which were good for running because I research everything. Shoes are expensive, and I wanted to make an educated decision:0)

I still never really found any that I loved, but I had to make a decision because my old running shoes are dying a slow death!

I went to Trak Shak in Birmingham because they assess your gate and suggest a brand or type of shoe accordingly.

Well...I have a neutral gate and arch, so basicly most brands were fair game.

I tried Nike, Pearl Izumi, Mizuno, and even K-swiss

I have a narrow foot, so my foot would wiggle around or slip in all of them... except the Asics

I ended up with The Nimbus-13 gel  Asics

I feel pretty sure they are going to make me faster!

In the end I had to go for comfort, even though I would rather have a shoe with less white, none of the others fit as well. So I brought em' home. and overall happy with my purchase.

My sister took a pic of me like this, when I bought my last pair of shoes...so we are keeping it consistent:0)

even though she cut my bottom foot out :0/

( I promise to attend to the no make up, dirty hair problem later today)
