I have needed shoes for MONTHS. With Christmas and kid's birthday's it's ended up on the back burner. But I'm starting to shop and hopefully will have a new pair of shoes on my feet within the month... or so.
I am a FIRM believer that you've got to find the best running shoe for YOU! I have loved my Nike Alvord trail runners. But since I'm doing a lot more road running than trail running I am on the hunt for MY best shoe.
I started out yesterday by talking to someone at a shoe store. I figured if that's all they sale, they should know what they're talking about right? We talked about my feet and what I need these shoes to do. I tried on a few pairs, tried some inserts and went home with a few options. EXCITED!!
Today I got online checking out more about this shoe: Asics GT-2140. I found a GREAT tool on their site: go HERE for an easy foot analysis. So I checked out the newer version {the GT-2150} and I think we'll be a great fit; especially with an insole. BUT then there is the Kayano-15 that is "supposed" to be THEE shoe. I think I'll see if I can't find someplace that has it so I can try it on. My running shoes are one thing I will NEVER buy without trying on first! The Kayano-15 is last year's model {they now have the Kayano-16} so maybe I can get myself a DEAL?!!
Any suggestions? Seriously... I want the best shoe I can find for ME... even if I have to try on every shoe this side of the Great Plains {give or take 100 miles... wink wink}!

I just got the Nike Air Max 2009 and I LOVE them! They are heaven... I'm all about the support and cushion and they've got both!! Oh and they're also bright pink :)
Good luck!
I just got the asic gt-2140. I love them. Of course i haven't run in them yet, but my feet stay cool and breath well. They are a good walking and everyday shoe too. I didn't get the insert they suggested though. I liked the way the shoe felt without them. It raised my foot up and made it feel like I couldn't get the shoe tight. Have fun shoe shopping. I went to Lady foot locker.
Have you ever heard of "road runner sports"? I'm looking for running shoes right now and went to their store. They put you through a running abalysis. They even video tape your feet while running on a treadmill to analyze what kind of shoes you need. They figured out exactly what I needed and there were only 3 shoes that fit the description. I tried on the shoes found 1 PERFECT pair and left. Now I'm ordering them online. Great store if you have one nearby!
