In my quest for new shoes, I went to a running store today and basically told them I was looking for a new pair of running shoes and I was open to suggestions. The salesman had me hop on a treadmill and did a video analysis to determine the range of pronation that I might have. Turns out, I didn’t roll my ankle or do anything funky, I just needed a neutral shoe. After trying a couple of pairs, I settled on the new Brooks, Pure Flow, a minimalist shoe. Actually, they seem more like a transitional shoes to me but I'm not going to worry about the name. They felt pretty good and at 7.5 oz, almost weightless. Surprisingly, these weren’t the most expensive shoes in the place which made me more willing to try them out. I had no idea these shoes just came out on Friday and here I was on Monday with a pair on my feet. While I tested them on the treadmill, I can’t wait to try them out on the road.
