No not the Transcend! It's terrible. Sales of that shoe sucked. I have a pair and can't stand running in them. Like bricks. The Nimbus is a high cushion, extremely comfortable neutral shoe. Sue, if you feel like you need more arch support, try putting a pair of Superfeet in the Nimbus.
It was the next shoe recommended to me, but have not been a Brooks fan of lately, after being loyal for 8 years.
I haven't been able to wear anything but New Balance for years now. Everything else is too tight in the toe box. That doesn't necessarily mean they're narrow; often they just curve too soon and crunch some toes. Wide shoes are out due to my super narrow heels. I'm going to need new shoes soon and I dread it. My last shoe is discontinued and even NB has fewer models with a square-ish toe box than they used to.I love the special inserts. I use the "support everything" ones for my arches and metarsal arch. I switched from custom orthotics because I was getting blisters. I'm typically in stability to motion control shoes - probably should be in motion control, but sometimes I'll take less support for better fit. I hate that they weigh a ton because I think the weight of the shoes on my small frame contributes to my tight calves and achilles tendonitis, but I have to have the support. Anyway, I just try a bunch of shit on that is within the range of support I need. The running stores used to try to put me in Brooks Adrenaline, but they are just a tad too narrow.
If you're using an insert arch support, wouldn't you just get a neutral shoe and let the insert do it's job? I have a cheap arch support right now and a gel heel lift to help the Achilles a little bit. The insert isn't a full and I really need to get one that is longer for when I do finally get to run. It stopping 3/4 of the way in the shoe is fine for walking around, but I don't think will be comfortable when running. And I have a wide forefoot and tend to blister/callus around the bunion/big toe area and that resolved mostly when I went up 1/2 a size.
Definitely agree with Caito's superfeet suggestion. The only reason why that may be a problem, though, is that they are a bit fatter than the regular insoles that come with the shoe, and might make the shoe bit narrower. I have superfeet insoles in every hiking and running shoe I own.
do you take out the original insert and use the Superfeet instead or put them over the original. I take out the originals, but now I'm wondering if I am supposed to put them over.
I take out the originals.
if you have some problems you can run on grass, it is amazing.i do some easy-medium trail sometimes and my legs and knees are much better now thanks to soft surfaces.do you have any suggestions for a trail-shoes ?where i can run on slippery, wet, rocks surfaces ?thanks, have a nice run !
thanks Suesquatch and All-Smiles ! I'm living near a wonderful country-side so I'm going on grass terrain and rocks and sometimes slippery, wet surfaces.so I was looking for a Trail shoes. i have found the Salomon xt wing s-lab ... that seems to be one of the best , selected by some very good runners...I'm looking for this kind of shoes... what do u think ? Salomon is great. I also like La Sportiva Wildcat.
One of my more accomplished trail running friends was raving about the Soloman S Lab Sense 3 i believe. The Brooks Cascadias are good as are the Pure Grit.
Brooks Cascadia have a problem now with being slippery on rocks.
So I tried out my new Asics Numbus.SUPER cushy. More than I am accustomed to but nice. They run a bit bigger than the Saucony - I'm 7.5 in a street shoe, always buy 8.5 for running. I could easily wear the 8 in these. I'll wear fat Thorlos with them. The heel is a bit loose.Having new running shoes is such a nice rush!
You can't swap them for 8s?
Amazon. I'm not dealing with shipping them back. Thorlos and lacing will do it.
shoe companies have gotta stop messing with shoes!
I thought you were not going to buy from Amazon anymore. Did I get that wrong?
