It is so hard to find a shoe that really works for you! I remember in the very early days of Nike that their women’s runner was my dream shoe. (This was only a few years after the waffle iron shoes.) It was like they had come to my house and made a casting of my feet, and then made a pair of shoes to fit me perfectly. I haven’t had shoes that fit that well in more years than I want to admit. (But it won’t be hard to figure out, based on the math.)
Buying shoes is one of my least favorite tasks in the universe, so I can empathize with having a tough time finding the right shoe. Glad you found a good one!
It’s a careful line, having plenty of cushioning but still being light. I also want my shoes to be waterproof enough to survive some Street sidewalk corners with surprisingly deep puddles!
These shoes faired fairly well in the rain as long as the water didn’t go over the top of the shoe. The last couple runs I’ve done have had some puddles and my feet were dry until I stepped in a puddle that went over the top.
Always good to find what works for you! I have a hard time finding zero drop shoes to train in so I currently wear the cheap-o canvas sneakers from Target. Not too glamorous but they are great for keeping my spine in the right position when lifting!
Awesome! My husband has been getting into running and is trying different shoes out. He typically finds one kind that works for him for a bit and then wants to switch it out. I’ll have to share your post with him!
Most running stores will help him with purchasing shoes that work well for him, too! They’ll talk with you to help understand what you’re looking for in a shoe and then watch your stride, etc as you try on different shoes. I’d definitely recommend checking out Portland Running Company or Foot Traffic.

Ahh, so timely as I am in need of new running and workout shoes!

I used to have the New Balance minimus’s and loved them for zero drop shoes and they were great for training.
