RE: WHAT IS IN A RUNNING SHOE AND REALLY WHO WEARS WHAT?

in #running6 years ago

I run mostly trails so trail shoes are my game.

The last two years I've been running in Brooks PureGrits. I've been getting 5-600miles out of them.

The trails in my area have a lot of lava rock and I tend to abuse the bottom of my feet so I switched to Altra Lone Peak4s. They are a zero drop platform so there is more sole under the forefoot. I've run all week in them and have been utterly delighted. I think I'm a convert.

I have a second pair of shoes that I run on the road with. The PureGrits cousin, the PureCadence. They're pretty worn and I'll likely be switching to Altra as well. The Escalante 1.5 looks about right!

I am looking for a trail shoe. I really need them. Many of the runs here on the East Coast are actually trail runs. So I go along and sometimes slip and slide, especially in the wet weather or the fall. So I am going to look at those Brooks and also Mizunos. See which ones I like better. Thanks for playing along and for the info. MIzuno won...however..hands down. :)))
