Tho it would be nice not to have to strap on the bricks I wear now after being out there all day!
Well, the new running form is to land on your forefoot... but all the shoes out there are for heel strikers. I don't need cushion in my HEEL... I don't land on my HEEL... I with the shoe manufacturers... other than Newton... would get with the game.

A long run in a shoe with very little padding for the forefoot... is a hard run. I bought some insoles to provide more padding, but again... most of the cushion is in the heel. UGH.

But yea... I don't see myself spending $150 on pair of running shoes... unless I can try them on. Hey, I'm slow as a turtle, but if they make running enjoyable... I'll pay the money.
