Are you well shod ??

I currently run in a pair of Nike Air Pegasus shoes and they are quite comfortable. I bought them so I could use my iPod with them as I ran. Unfortunately I found that I did not like listening to music as I ran so I chucked the iPod. This got me thinking about the different shoes I have had over the years and going back 20 odd years, I don't think Ihave had that many.
First ever pair were a pair of New Balance followed by a pair of Silver Shadow. These were followed by a pair of Asics Gel Cumulus and another pair of the same before I purchased my current shoes. I should add that I had a long break from running from late 80's till early
2000's.
There are no right shoes to wear. It all depends on how you feel in them. There are shoes for all kinds of pronating feet,under,over or balanced. The main thing being if going to purchase, is to get good advice by going to a specialist running shop and get a gait analysis. This will pay of in the end and ensure that you keep on running !!!
