Running shoes

I know that for now you can’t say that I’m a serious runner… Just less than a year of running under my belt. But I think at this stage I can say which shoes brand I think suits me best.

As on the attached pictures you can see two pairs of ‘New Balance’. And must tell you for person who usually cut the heels from every pair of shoes (faster or slower but always – even hiking Salomon’s lasted just over 6 months). The white ones (sorry, don’t remember the model name) I have bought last September to replace Everlast’s (which last just 3 months) and running on average 125 – 140 km a week these NB still are in operation. Heels not cut as much after 8 months (of course I was using two pairs of shoes for last 6 months) but you can see that these are wearing off on the membrane material. They don’t have any gel or any other gimmicks in them but cushioning is really great in them. Despite membrane wearing off I would highly recommend these at least for runners who starting. Price was about 50€, so not so expensive.

Little bit different price range is for the green ones. NB Minimus were 90€ (I think I got 5€ discount ;-)). This model of shoes is minimalistic. I didn’t know if such a model will work for me cause it is different type of shoes, different way of running. I have decided for that model cause these came with Vibram sole which should make shoe more resistant to ‘cut’. And it works. Lasts since November last year and are still good to run. If you will decide for that model remember that it is minimalist shoe so there is no cushion so you will feel the ground under your feet. It is said that running in minimalist shoes should bring you back to natural way of running like running bare foot. Don’t know about that… but they are great.
