(Nike & New Balance are both known for their round, wide upper toe box. The main difference between the two brands is that Nike tends to have a narrower construction through the arch, while New Balance are typically wider throughout the entire footbed.)<br><br>It's great that you've found a shoe that works for your feet!

It’s better to purchase shoes that are fit enough to put into use. There are a lot of varieties of shoes available in the market. As per me <A HREF="http://shoesfact.com/" REL="nofollow">Online Shoes Stores</A> is the best place that offers the footwear as per our requirement.sophiesarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248851751231967061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-2698741566621532202008-07-11T11:17:00.000-04:002008-07-11T11:17:00.000-04:00Hi Tim,I can totally relate to what you wrote abou...Hi Tim,<BR/>I can totally relate to what you wrote about being a "one trick pony" when it comes to running shoes. ;-) I find that no matter how many different brands of shoes I try on, I always come back to Nike, because they suit my gait & the shape of my foot the best.

I will be in the same boat as you as my ASICS I ran the marathon in are about done and my alternate pair of Mizuno Wave Riders have about 300 miles on them and are breaking down pretty badly already. :(<BR/><BR/>I, like Marci, may give Saucony a try, but while on vacation, I tried on a pair of ASICS Gel Nimbus 10's and... WOW! I loved those... just not the price @ $134.99.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034531091253691652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-2055973865757531732008-07-10T15:18:00.000-04:002008-07-10T15:18:00.000-04:00Shoes are so individual.

CA may be a bit far for me for a first Marathon, although I could use it as a good excuse to go to CA. :)<BR/><BR/>Kim, that is pretty cool, Once you train for a marathon, you would need a new pair of shoes. I replaced my last pair two days after my half marathon.Tim Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172993341866649612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001874779832700509.post-8559767120815271662008-07-08T06:02:00.000-04:002008-07-08T06:02:00.000-04:00Speaking of shoes, as a finisher of the Akron Mara...Speaking of shoes, as a finisher of the Akron Marathon, you get a pair of Brooks Running Shoes.
