I always feel a little bit apprehensive when I start on a new pair of shoes. I started in on a new pair on Tuesday.. ran in them today too. I've ended up buying basically the same shoe now for the last seven pairs. Really, its been four different versions of the same shoe, but at least the most recent two are pretty similar. I have no idea where this apprehension comes from, but so far, so good.
I think I still need to move my superfeet into these new ones though, as much as I would prefer not to. The one consistent problem I have had with this particular series of shoes is that as-is, they push on my ankle bones in a weird way. I actually don't notice it when I am running, but when I am walking around, it is annoying. I think maybe because I end up running more on the balls of my feet and when I walk I am putting weight on the heel.. or something. In any case, the superfeet lift me up a little and keep my ankles in a better place, and i'm more comfortable.
I would *really* prefer to use the shoes as-is though. Sooner or later (probably sooner) I'm going to have to replace the insoles too, and that adds a chunk of change to the equipment budget. Maybe 300 miles from now, I will just have to go on a tedious hunt for a better shoe.
