OK, half of my purchasing is complete. Of course, they stopped making the Mizunos I've been wearing for running at boot camp. This is the second time this has happened. I now have a pair of Aisics that feel very good, and they are much cooler looking. In fact, I tried on 3 pairs that felt good.
However, there were no trail runners in the LRS in my size (6). The guy was very helpful, called the warehouse in Lowell and found one pair of Brooks, which someone will bring over here. So, I imagine it might be another week before I go out on the trail.
