With all the recent running, my shins have been KILLING me. I mean seriously, they contacted an arms dealer and got a pair of giant machetes that they feel they need to stab me with everytime I run. Another name for this would be called shin splints. Now, my shoes weren’t the most comfortable and really didn’t have much in terms of support or padding but when I got them, they were really the only Nike+ shoes out at the time.
So I went to a local running specialist store and had them check out my feet. Besides smelling of roses, I’ve found that I have a normal arch and don’t overpronate much at all, so I don’t need stability shoes. After trying about 5 pairs, the salesperson recommended one of the pairs. It was, surprisingly, not the most expensive pair either. She explained what she liked about each pair on me and why she liked these the best. Overall, it was a really good thing to do and she was very helpful. So now I’m the proud owner of a pair of Etonic Prayas. The one downside to these was that they aren’t Nike+ compatible. Do not fear, however, because you can always buy something like this!
Now that I’ve got the Tiger on the bandwagon, I best be running!
