When I was doing PT, my feet would sometimes hurt because I was doing all these balancing/stabilization exercises in running shoes. So I'll second your instructor's recommendation, Freak.

I took my new (Brooks) Glycerin 11s for a run this morning. (the blue and silver version, for Freak's benefit) I'm not sure how I feel about them yet. I got persuaded to try them, and told them they should work better for me than the Ghosts, but change is hard, and my feet were a little sore by the end, mostly on the outer edges. Might have to get used to it, or might not be able to. I hate new shoes, for that reason. I love my Brooks Pureflow2's!! They dont last very long (200 miles) but they are great! I cant wait to try a pair of the Pureflow3's!! But for running in cold and on snow, nothing beats my Hoka's!

I'm missing more days than I'm doing pushups....but I am able to do 10 "real" ones in a row now. I need to get with the program.

I tried on some Pureflows too actually. If I were the type to have specific "race shoes", I'd try them out. Crazy light. I needs me support and cushion though, for the pushin' you see. The dang Mortons demands I try at least a little bit to get the feet to cooperate.

Recently, all my running shoes have come from TJ Maxx or Marshall's (where they've had some nice bargains)
I have a pair of PureFlow (probably Mod 1) that I've only run 3 times in. More cushioning than I'm used to, but not bad.
Also from TJ's and Marshall's; I have an embarrassing number of pairs of Merrells, which I do love. Mostly Trail Gloves, one pair of Flux Gloves. I'm intrigued by the Vapor Glove, maybe I'll see that on sale sometime.
Most unusual shoe I run in (although not in winter) isn't really a shoe at all; Xero running sandals.

^^ That'd be my assumption as well BBB. There've been quite a few running sandals I've seen in various places over the past year.
I'm not curious enough to try it out, but I am curious!

BBB, if you're a heel striker, I understand completely. I'm not a heel-striker, so I don't have the same issue.

Does she ever "break stride"? (Sorry, standardbred humor that only horse racing degenerates like me will get.)

A running version of Prancercise? Ha Ha. I was at a Pose running clinic where one of the coaches said, If you think it's Prancercise, you're watching the wrong videos.
