  1. Hey #runnersofmastodon — a question:

    I’ve been running for years, and while I’m down from my historical high of 30-40 miles/week, I still do at least a 10k 2x/week. But for the last couple of months, my shins have been absolute murder after the first half-mile or so. I need to stop, massage them a bit, before they loosen up after another mile. Any ideas? Maybe time for new shoes?

    I’ve been running on Nike Pegasus for a few years, rotating out after 600 miles or so, but just picked up some Salomon Aero Blaze gravel runners because this time of year I’m able to hit the trails early am. Hopefully that’ll solve it… it’s been frustrating!

  2. Goodbye my old friends, it's been almost 2500km of running and another more than two years of civilian life.
    My favorite running shoe from all time.
    It's time to say goodbye

  3. #running #runningshoes #newshoes So I decided to treatler myself to Adidas Boston 12 in the end. £103 was just within my pain threshold but treatlers gonna treatler. Let's see if they translate into "actually better running" (of course they will)

  4. I admit, I am the incarnation of Imelda Marcos... one pair of my running shoes is not on the picture as it is out drying from the water rinse after a run...
    It's good to rotate when you run a lot...

  5. new #Running shoes ordered...exciting

    they should arrive next week in time for my <cough> birthday

    though I probably won't start training in them until a couple of days after, as I have a half planned for that day.

  6. What are your thoughts on New Balance Fuel Cell Propel v5 as a daily/tempo shoe. Just bought a pair from the sale for a good price online #running #runningshoes #newbalance

  7. I want to get new running shoes. I want something with a wide toe box, stiff through the front part of the sole, and not heavily padded through the heel. I wear men's shoes because women's are too narrow (ridiculous that sneakers are gendered when feet come in all shapes and sizes). Tired of shoe store staff not listening to my requests and giving me women's Hokas. Those things are awful on mixed terrain. I'm always afraid I'll twist an ankle in them. It's like running in platform pillows. #RunningShoes #Sneakers #Shoes #recommendations

  8. This reminds me of what happened the last time I went to get running shoes. I went to a running store run by runners. (Runny!)

    A young man was working there that day. I told him I wanted a pair of running shoes which had a very stiff toe box because I have hypermobile toes. I told him I did not want thick cushioning because I am often on uneven ground and that reduces my stability. I also told him I needed men’s shoes because women’s sizing is too narrow.

    So of course he grabs me a pair of women’s Hokas. They are everything I don’t want. The soles so thick they’re like platforms. The toe box is very soft, and the shoes are too tight.

    I reiterate what I’m looking for, and he goes looking for more of what I don’t want. In the meanwhile, I start looking through the men’s shoes and find a pair that seems ideal. They have a carbon insert which makes the toe box very stiff, and they are otherwise a minimalist shoe.

    I ask him why he didn’t show these to me, and he says, “oh, those are for competitive runners.”

    Fucker. I regularly competed in races. Just because I don’t look like whatever he thinks a competitive runner is supposed to look like doesn’t mean he shouldn’t give me exactly what I’m looking for.

    I have no plans on ever returning to that store again. #RunningShoes #running #runner #RunnersOfMastodon

  10. I’m judging I have been very ignorant of the price of shoes for years now. 91% of the poll voters buy athletic shoes over $46 and pretty much $100 a pair could be an average price for a brand common in US shops. Wow. Wow. Wow. 😮 #Shoes #RunningShoes #Sneakers

  11. Oh my, the poll is just about conclusive that I must change my POV. Whoa. #Shoes #RunningShoes #Sneakers

  12. I should acknowledge this poll is not even considering needs of people who have to wear certain shoes and boots for a job or to accommodate specific style and fit needs. I bet anyone with really narrow or really wide feet are always disadvantaged buying shoes economically. That said, I do know really good quality shoes and boots usually are better in the long run, for me. (See famous Vimes quote about buying boots, by Terry Pratchett.) #Shoes #RunningShoes #Sneakers
