After reading some post I decided to go to a "real" shoe store here locally. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>The whole process took about an hour but it was time well spent. The guy was very knowledgable. The first thing I did was get on a treadmill where he recorded my jog for about 20 seconds. He then showed me how I was landing and based off of my evaluation, it was determined I was a neutral runner. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>I had gone in the store with a specific brand of shoe in mind (Mizuno). After trying on about 8-10 different pairs of shoes, I was really amazed with the Brooks Ravenna 3.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>The shoe felt great and seemed to "fit" my foot just right. I am so glad that I took the time to do it the right way. Turns out had I ordered online, I would have been unhappy with the shoe and would have gotten the wrong size. </p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:bde27294-aa52-42f7-84b8-46c8ee3f132e] --> Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:50:55 GMT guest http://community.active.com/message/1265358?tstart=0#1265358 2012-09-10T19:50:55Z 8 months, 2 weeks ago 0
