I'm done with surgery and after nearly 5 years I can go out running again. After a few runs (4) I decided it's worth buying good shoes again.
So there they are! The best I could find for myself : Last year's saucony shoes in a 'boring' bright white color.
For me it's Saucony or Asics. And yes, I think deep deep down inside Saucony has a preference over Asics.
In the store I tried quite a number -also other brands to compare- and they had remarks like "But we have these only in white" .... "The size says 10 and you have 9.5" ..... "It's last years model" ... "these weigh 15 grams less" .... but none of it matters even a little bit to me. I search the shoe that feels like it's clearly made for me personally. Only then I ask for the price and decide if it's worth it. These where definitely IT and the price was no issue for they turned out to be on sale with 35% discount (only for being last year's model)
