Re: Zappos Exclusive Gel-Nimbus 11

Just ran on these last night for the first time...treadmill run.

These are simply the most amazing, best running shoe I've ever run on. They are so soft, so cushiony and sooooo comfortable.

Anyone in the market for the most fantastic running shoe currently made shoes try the Gel-Nimbus 11.

While I really like the lime green of the Zappos.com exclusive shoe, I went ahead and ordered the standard color as price won out.

For those interested, Bing.com is offering 13% discount for Buy It Now purchases off eBay. So I saved 13% and also got triple eBay bucks on my Gel-Nimbus 11s. Not bad. All in all, I will have spent $100 for a pair of $124.99 MSRP shoes. Didn't pay tax or shipping.

I have the Garmin 305 and also consider myself a pretty heavy perspirer. I've had absolutely no issues with my Garmin 305.

I don't think there are any guarantees that one shoe is going to work with you over another.

I know I've had fantastic results from my Asics Gel-Nimbus and the latest version, Gel-Nimbus 11, sounds like it would be perfect for you. I recommend giving them a try. I've tried other shoes in the past, only to keep coming back loyall to the Gel-Nimbus. I will likely never stray again!

Alternatively, you could try your local running store and tell them the same thing. However, I've come to believe that most running stores have an agenda of sorts and will try to meet your needs while also trying to sell you what they've got in stock and also what they have high margins on. That's just my own cynical perception on retail store shopping.

Zappos Exclusive Gel-Nimbus 11

I'm I'm going to buy the new Gel-Nimbus 11 and was looking around for good pricing.

I found a Zappos Exclusive color on their website that I like better than any of the other colors available. I think I'm going to buy them, even though there is no real discount for them but at least it's a cool, somewhat rare color.

Just thought I'd share this with the forum and wondering if anyone has bought these or any other Zappos "exclusive" shoes?

Re: Broken pinky toe, how long until I can run again?

For those interested, I've got an update on my broken toe.

Originally broke it on July 3rd. Tried to run on July 4th but couldn't do it. Waited and made myself run on the treadmill on July 12th and to my surprise, was relatively strong on the treadmill and whatever discomfort I felt at the beginning of the run went away in about 5 minutes (who knows, maybe it loosened up a little or something). I've done about 4 runs since then and overall things seem to be healing well.

The toe is still not 100% but I'd imagine it's about 75% or 80%. I'll wait for 100% before I venture out on trails but for the most part things appear to be going well.

I find that taping the pinky to the toe next to it hurts worse than if I just leave my pinky alone. I'm mostly wearing flip flops and it doesn't really hurt to walk on it, untaped. But if I tape, then it hurts more. Luckily it's summer time.

I know it's broken because it was sticking out at an odd angle immediately afterwards. It's also black and blue on the toe itself and around the toe on the foot. I've taped it to the next toe but it's still painful. If it's broken or not, clearly it's too painful to run on right now.

I'm not going to bother with the doctor. I'll just wait it out and hope to be running again soon.

Broken pinky toe, how long until I can run again?

uwhusky — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:52:13 GMT

I broke my pinky toe last night. Today, I laced up my shoes and thought I'd try a run, thinking my pinky toe is probably useless to me when I run. Just lacing up my shoes hurt pretty bad and trying to run on it caused me too much pain to continue.

I'm thinking I'll just see how things go day to day but am hoping I can run again in about a week. Anyone have any experience or thoughts on this?

I posted this same thread on the General Running Discussion forum before I cam across this sub-forum. My apologies for the double post.

I use BodyGlide and it works fantastically.
