Out with the Old, In with the New

After 547.52 miles (including one marathon), it was definitely time to retire my Asics Nimbus running shoes. Probably my favorite so far, but they could have used a little more arch support.


Yesterday, I brought home a pairof Nike Vomeros from Runner's World. While I really liked the slightly deeper toe bed of the previous Vomero model (and the cool blue color), they didn't have them in my size. But I ran with this latest model this morning, and I was pretty happy with them. They're comfortable and stable in the heel area, and the sole looks to be pretty durable. They also breathe well, maybe even better than my Asics did. And they're really light. This pair should get me through 2, possibly even three marathons.
