trail running shoes

I really like the New Balance 470 trail running shoes....They are cheap at
$39 from Kohls and are by far the best cushioned shoe I have used... and I
have tried lots of $70-$100 shoes. Give them a try. Also remember that in
most shoes you can remove the insole and replace with a much better one from
most sport/running stores for about $10/set.

No advice, but nice to see you around and back to running!
Do you do any on the treadmill, or is that not your thing? It's
obviously easier on the joints - perhaps you could supplement
a little at least to help the building back period.

I'd forget about "trail shoes" and go for a regular cushion shoe. Asics
Nimbus/Cumulus would be a good place to start. Both are "cushy"-cushion shoes.
THe Nimbus is "cushier" and heavier.

Um, trail shoes don't have added cushioning, in fact most I looked at
had considerably less.

I run 9 miles a day, if I walked that distance I'd be sore for a
month.

Hey, we agree. 🙂 If we're staying within the Asics line I would also
consider the 2090's or the Kayano's. The are both listed as stability
but they have tons cushioning within the stability.

Thanks,
I have not tried Asics yet, there is a running shoes *only* store locally that
just opened.
I had been trying to find some Adidas or NB that used to feel so good.
If they have a treadmill I can test run the shoes.

BUT they do have ankle support and padding *there*, which is why the specialist
suggested them to me.
So he said. He's a runner, too.
What do you suggest?
I am light weight and have no stability issues.(well, um...depends on who you
ask...)

Hi Teresa, and Welcome Back!
I'd say to go to your local (hopefully there is one!) running store and
start picking their brains. If they're worth their salt, they should be
able to find a shoe for you. I use NB cushion shoes (now the 880), but
I don't know what the trail equivalent is. They should.

Good luck with your running!

I didn't notice that.

Sex, three times a day, preferably with me. For your feet I have no idea.
