My shoe experience...

When I started getting minor ankle pains during running, I decided it was time to cash in my old running shoes and take it up a notch. I went to a professional running shoe store for the first time and was pleased with the experience. They looked thoroughly at my old running shoes to see the pattern of ware and they measured my foot and examined my gait. Through all of this they determined I have a normal arch, slight overpronation and I had been wearing the wrong size shoe for a while. I needed to go up about half a size to leave myself some room during running. After going through about six pairs of shoes perfect for my gait, I had it narrowed down to two pair: the Mizuno's inspire and Nike Air Structure Triax 10. I went with the Nike's, but returned them a couple days later after walking around the house in them. They had started bothering the top of my right foot for some reason. The Mizuno's are perfect though...I couldn't have asked for a better running shoe.
