Bought Running Shoes – Nike vs Asics vs Saucony

Apparently I overpronate, hence my knee pain that almost got me side lined for my 10K run, I wrote about it in a previous post called Dealing with a set back

Running shoe buying aint a simple task.

I asked the guy at the shoes store which one was the best, no such thing, every one has a preference. Which one has more support? well no such thing. Which one has the most cushion? no such thing. You gotta try them all and see. ALL? There are like 30 shoes, gonna be here all day. The good news, apparently according to the guy at the shoes store, once you find a pair, you will be loyal forever, so this is only painful once.

I tried a few brands, like an Asics Gel, Saucony and Nike Air Zoom, all feel the same, I can’t tell. The more I tried, the more they all felt the same. After at least 10 shoes I bought the Asics, Why?

It looked good, and was on sale.

Are you picky about your running shoe? which ones do you buy?
