What brand and type of shoes do YOU wear? Do you have just one pair, two pairs of the same that you alternate, one road pair and one trail pair...?? Also, who uses custom orthotics or after market insoles? What kind? I need some good ones for my hiking boots because I don't want to overuse my custom ones or get them torn up from rocks and dirt while hiking. ;) Just curious...
Me:
One pair for the road - Brooks Aeriel (Motion Control)
One pair for the trail - Brooks Cascadia (Trail - these aren't profiled as "stability" shoes, but they are comfy, protective, and they have a good grip so I like them quite a bit for trails...can't wait to use them more when it gets cooler!)
And yes - I have custom orthotics from eSoles that have helped my knee pain tremendously! :)

Ive always wanted to get 2 good new pairs at once, in the hopes that alternating would extend both their lives. But I dont ever feel like I can spend that kind of money all at once. Maybe someday...
ReplyDeleteIve been happy with Aasics Gel Nimbus. Which has some stability, and some cushioning. But they keep getting higher on my ankle- or my ankle is getting lower?
Ive been taking a break with some Nikes that are fine. But Im about to buy some new shoes soon. Id like to go back to my Aasics, but if they feel high against my ankle- ill try a New Balance or a Saucony, if Dan says they have one fit for my feet.
Funny about the higher on the ankle. Why do they always have to try to "improve" your shoe when you've always liked it the way it is? ;) I will say though that the improved out of box insoles that came in my latest Aeriels were surprisingly cushy. I wore them just like that without flat foot after market insoles before I got my orthotics and liked them much better than insoles past.
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to try on the new Gel Nimbus, because it is supposed to be improved, and it won editor's choice from Runnersworld editors/testers.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is often frustrating when they make changes. Often times the improvements cause problems.
Im hoping the new Nimbus will be a good fit for me.
