I have been on an epic journey the past few days to find a couple new pairs of shoes. On my list was a new running shoe, a hard/flat soled lifting shoe, and a pair for everyday use. I scanned through countless pairs of ridiculous looking "back to the future" styled, brightly colored train wrecks. Tried those Brooks and WOW!! Most comfortable running shoe I've ever put on my feet. Light as hell too. Found a sweet pair of Puma's that actually fit my fat foot for the everday pair.. now I just gotta find my new lifting shoes. May be picking up some old school flat soled Nike Classics. Not sure.
