Let's talk about our running shoes! (note: why has no one made a running shoe fi thread yet?)
Over the past couple years of running I haven't really put too much
consideration into my running shoes. I have used various crappy cross trainers, and I've gone through a pair of Nike Air Spiridons. The right air bladder in my nike blew out so I decided to get new shoes since the pseudo broken squeeky ball noise (dog owners know this sound well) was driving me crazy while running.
So feeling like a bit of change, I decided to get these:
edit: they're the vibram five fingers sprint
I was afraid they were all hype but holy crap they're awesome. Running with these is the most tactile and free running experience I've ever had. It really shoes how lazy you get running with other shoes. Even after running two or three days I noticed my feet were in better shape and my posture was better. I've been slowly working up my foot strength and endurance for my 3 mile loop but it's still not all the way there yet.
Any other runners out there? Post your shoes and/or experiences!
