Gear



One of the things runners love about their sport is buying new shoes. There seems to be a must read shoe article in every running magazine on a monthly basis. 23 New Shoe Reviews! Injury free shoe buying guide!  Sole Revolution! Typical headlines one might see on a regular basis. Shoe companies survive by constantly "innovating." Its good to know that there is a breakthrough in cutting-edge shoe technology every four weeks.
My advice is simple. Once you find a shoe that works well on your feet buy as many duplicates as you can afford. That trusted pair you have gotten used to and love so much will be a thing of the past long before you go looking for another pair.

Shoe of choice: New Balance MR759's (no longer available.)
