First I must apologize to my Brooks'...Brookses...my old shoes. Seems they were not the cause of my leg pain last week, and it was some ill fitting insoles that were the culprit. I have been breaking in my new Asics this week and I switched the insoles from the Brooks to the Asics. From the first run something felt odd.

I use heat-moldable insoles (from Sole) and really like them. Well, the last set I purchased has a small plastic 'pocket' that is supposed to be for the Nike+ insert. I guess I have flat feet or something because the insert was causing the insole to fit funny. I actually noticed it originally in my Brooks, and I switched insoles for a while. I don't know why but I went back to the faulty insole and I think that is what has been causing my right leg pain the last few weeks.

So I cut the pocket out and now the Asics feel like magic, and the Brooks feel pretty good too. With my recent purchases last week I now have 4 solid pairs of shoes...5 counting my trail runners. So basically I am equipped for the next 1000 miles or so.

I guess I shouldn't be so quick to judge...I hope my Brooks's will take me back...
