Too bad it's not as easy as getting custom orthos and sweet new kicks.<br /><br />I tell you what, the Kinvaras are great. I love them for short distance. They are fast and light and awesome. My only gripe is they wear out fast. But that's to be expected given they are a minimalistic type shoe.<br /><br />I have been wearing the Cortanas on my long runs and dig them big time.Nicole @ Haute Running Mamahttp://hauterunningmama.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698600978815527980.post-364622854565708392012-01-10T21:09:29.101-08:002012-01-10T21:09:29.101-08:00yes, yes and YES! I ran my first marathon in 2004...yes, yes and YES! I ran my first marathon in 2004, didn't realize how important wearing the right shoe was. I bought shoes according to the aesthetics and price. I always knew my stride was different (special) :)! It really didn't start affecting me until the middle of 2011 (after LB marathon). My first shin splint, toe injury (during Vegas). Finally, finally decided to throw down the dinero for the orthotics and I'm so glad I did. I had persistent pain in my right toe after 10-11 miles. Miraculously, the next day I ran 13 miles and felt perfect. I recently read in an article that only 25% of runners actually have proper running form. The rest of us over-pronate or pronate inwards. Orthotics I feel really can help with deficiencies in our bio-mechanics. So happy that you're going to Carlsbad with them! I currently run in Asics kayano's but, I'm curious about the Brooks. I've heard a lot of great things about them. :)<br /><br />Have a great rest of the week! rest, rest and get ready to rock 26.2!!!! :)Pamhttp://aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1698600978815527980.post-30369597877541143192012-01-10T14:52:24.436-08:002012-01-10T14:52:24.436-08:00Holy hell you said more about shoes than I ever kn...Holy hell you said more about shoes than I ever knew existed.
