Shoes

By luck, my first pair of shoes were a good match for me. They are a pair of Nike Vomero 4s. I bought them at a store in the mall that specializes in more dress shoes and they just happened to have this pair, on sale, and in my size. They felt good, so I bought them. I just have about run them out. They have about 520 miles on them so I should probably call it quits soon. I already have a replacement pair of Saucony Progrid Ride 3s. I bought them in December when I was visiting family- there's an actual running store there!
I have them in the box and haven't taken them out yet.
A couple of days ago I decided that i needed a pair of trail shoes, so I bought some New Balance 621's. I figured that I should give them a run. It turned out to be a 10 miler where about 2-3 miles were on a snow-shoe track (about a foot or so of snow). At about the 8.5 mile mark I realized that these shoes don't have the arch support that the Nike's do. I had to modify my gate the last mile and a half so that I wouldn't put too much pressure on my arch. Hobbled home and averaged about an 11'20 mile- but it was tough!
today I went back to the shoe store and picked up a pair of insoles. I'll give them a try later today.
i wish that running shoes came with a coupon for a pair of insoles, so that when you bought a pair, you'd match them with the insole of your choice. I'd rather pay $130 for a pair of shoes that are good to go, then to pay $90-$100 and then buy insoles- just the idea of it.
Well, however it is, I'm going to make sure that my shoes are not the cause of an injury.
