After 4 years of wearing the same sneakers, today I decided to buy some new ones. Although I have loved my Mizunos, I went into the shop with an open mind and allowed the knowledgeable assistant to guide me through the choices.
We assumed my previous sneakers were selected for a need for stability. When I was assessed last time I wasn't very strong and could barely run 3km. I suggested a new assessment and was surprised to learn if we were just looking at my right foot, I would have been fine buying neutral sneakers. Unfortunately that broken ankle from 3 years ago meant that I would still need the more structured sneakers.
Next we looked at the different options in brands. I decided not to worry about price, rather find the shoe that fit and felt the best. It didn't take too long to pick out a pair of Nikes and surprisingly they were some of the cheaper ones. Even better when they scanned them in they were $30 cheaper than the tag said. The experience was really good and the assistant was very helpful. I don't want to make this an ad for them but they are the only running shop at Harbourtown.
Now to try them out. I'll be getting up at 6am for a run before work. I should also admit - they are purple - I wonder how they will look with my orange top?
