The value of a good shoe
October 20th, 2010
Monday morning I ran 2.5 miles and while my feet ached a tiny bit, I’m pretty sure it was still from the crazy zumbathon I did Sunday night.
Anyway, I want to thank my new shoes. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 100. No, I’m not getting any freebies. But seriously, so light and comfortable. And here’s what else I got out of my trip to a real running shoe store where they actually put you on a treadmill and watch you run …
- One of my feet is a 7.5 and the other is a 7. No wonder I have the hardest time picking a size! (It’s because I have a higher arch in one of them.)
- I overpronate (turn) my foot a little therefore need more control (dense material) under the middle part of my foot. Who knew?
- You should only wear running shoes for about 500 miles, which the clerk pointed out would last me a whole year for the small amount I run. Thanks, wise guy.
Even if I’m last in the 5k, at least I will have cool shoes.

Brooks are great! I bought a pair for running a few years ago when my feet were giving me issues at one of those fancy runner-type stores (I felt totally out of place, for the record) and they were great. I bought another pair when those wore out. I switched to Nikes, which have worn out, and I’m about to head back to Brooks. I love the color of yours!
