Ok… Was very unimpressed with delivery on my new pair of NB 1400v2. Have ordered these over two weeks ago in my usual shop, but now look New Balance hasn’t delivered my model. And unfortunately after yesterdays marathon my pair of NB is in really bad shape. Would say that these looks worse than me now. Was hard to run in them yesterday, so from now on just walking them (to be honest, in that shape I don’t think they are even good for that). Cause I need to come back to proper training after illness and that hardcore marathon I had to be sure that I will have shoes to run. Have checked second Amphibian King shop and again they have my shoes model but not in my size…
So, no other choice as to try another brand. Got to three pairs this time: Brooks, Mizuno and Asics. Straight away when tried Brooks model I knew that these are not for me. Too heavy and couldn’t keep front of the feet in the place, even with laces very tight. After that I have tried Mizuno Wave Hitogami model. Quite comfortable on that test run in front of the shop. Ok with weight – 12 grams heavier then NB but can live with that. Same heel drop – 10 mm. Last model was Asics. Drop 9 mm, quite light as well. Test run was ok. Need to say that tip of the shoe was quite wide which should actually suits me great cause of size of my toes, but strangely something wasn’t ok. So, went for Mizuno model Wave Hitogami and in theory these are ok… I will check them on the training run tomorrow…
Tomorrow evening, new pain. Probably arch will be in bits cause of the new shoes but… needs to break them in. Need to be ready for next month marathon in Donegal.

For time being can just say that Mizuno are very comfortable for walking.
Unfortunately still have pain in the left heel, so not running.
