My older son is a high school cross country runner. Fortunately for me, a local running shop, Startline Running Store in Minnetonka, offers a discount to high school runners and their families. Good thing. Running shoes can be expensive. But for the most important piece of running gear, price isn't really the top consideration. I was thoroughly impressed with the staff at Startline and how they analyzed my stride and helped me pick the right shoes. I tried purchasing a pair online, but won't do that again. Shoes are just too important.
My shoe-related characteristics:
Size=8.5
Pronation=Under
Bunions=Yes
Strike=Midfoot
My current shoes are Saucony Ride 7's, my second pair. I'm putting about 250 miles on a pair of shoes before replacing them. It's going to work out to 3 pairs per year. (Has anyone at Saucony thought about a subscription shoe plan? Just saying...) I'm really happy with these shoes but continue to research to find out more about proper foot gear to stay injury-free and keep my feet comfy.
