Yes! My old shoes were the size I wear in all shoes, and my toes were starting to look funky after running. Sorry for the TMI. 😉

Thanks! I think it was really interesting to learn about different kind of shoes and to see how my feet work while running.

To each his own, I guess. I\’m reading a few books for beginner runners, and they all stress how important the right shoe for you is, so I gave the analysis a shot. So far, I am very happy with the shoes. Does this mean I will always stick with a stability shoe, probably not. I love to try out new things, so I know a minimalist shoe will enter into my collection eventually, even it if might not work for me.

I\’m having good results with my shoes so far, but I would like to try a more minimalist shoe for my next pair, just to see how I feel in all different kinds of shoes. Getting the analysis done was something I had wanted to do for a long time, but I do take it all with a grain of salt. I\’m a fairly new runner and I know shoes are the most important part, so I wanted to get the advice of someone who knew what they were talking about.

The shoes were the same price that I would\’ve paid at any other big box sports apparel store. I wouldn\’t have purchased them otherwise. I really didn\’t feel like it was a sales pitch. They didn\’t recommend insoles and I never felt pushed. I had a friend who was having horrible pain running and went there and got awesome results from the new shoes, which is why I decided to go there finally.

How much were the shoes? Did they have you run barefoot on the treadmill or just with shoes on?

I have had a gait analysis done, I find it to be a big sales pitch! I use vivobarefoot shoes and the minimus trail shoes. I also have a pair of huaraches that I put on when I go to the track and do speed work.

I dont understand why they would sell you a stability shoe if your a forefoot/midfoot strike runner… I mean you can run in any shoe there is on the wall. I wonder if they took into consideration that you are a midfoot runner. Did they also recommend insoles?

I have gotten the shoe dog done on me at road runner sports. They kinda told me what I already knew. And that was that I was a midfoot/forefoot striker. They told me that my right foot pronates but that sense I run forefoot, that I can run in a neutral shoe. I currently run in only minimal shoes, because that fit best for me. Anything higher than a minimal is to constricting to my feet and they tend to hurt my feet. My favorite shoe right now is the Vivobarefoot Evo. It has such a great feel.
