I still will use them for shorter runs Nike Blazer High Womens cheap sale but looking for something for longer runs. I¡¯m looking at the Altra Instinct 1.5 or the Altra Torin as that shoe. I read your reviews on each and I am torn about which one to get. Unfortunately, there isn¡¯t a store anywhere near me in Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads area that sells them so I can¡¯t try them on. Given that I loved the Frees minus the toebox issue, which one would you recommend that I should try to go with?

First some history ¨C I¡¯d relied strictly on Asics Gel-1060¡¯s (and its successors) and a couple of Nike models to get me to this point. I started my running with Asics ¨C I mean who hasn¡¯t heard about the Gel technology, and the 1060¡¯s seemed like the ¡°entry point¡± for the line. I didn¡¯t think about the fact they are designed for stability, and whether I needed such stability or not. They worked fine, but wer Nike Blazer Mens sale e a little heavy.

I haven¡¯t run in the Altra Olympus, but it might be the closest thing out there right now to some of the more heavily cushioned Hokas. A shoe like the NB Fresh Foam has about as much in common with a Hoka as it does with a Saucony Kinvara or Brooks PureProject shoe (probably less). To me, a shoe like the Hoka Mafate, Bondi, or Stinson is what I think of when I think of a maximal shoe. Big stack (30mm+ in the forefoot), soft cushion. The rest are just pretenders that have gained an association due to marketing.

Nike Free 5.0 2015 interiorOne of the things I¡¯ve always loved about the Free shoes is that they lack a heel counter. In case you¡¯re not familiar with the terminology, a heel counter is a firm, plastic insert located in the back of many shoes to give the heel region structure. In the Free 5.0 there is no counter at all, and this adds to the slipper-like experience. The lack of a heel counter is also one of the reasons why I often recommend the Free to people with insertional Achilles tendon issues that may be aggravated by a plastic counter in the heel.

I think we¡¯re at a point now where shoe categories have blurred so much that they have pretty much lost any real meaning. I¡¯ve always liked t Nike Blazer womens sale o think of maximal and minimal as relative terms, not categories. They represent opposite ends of a spectrum. And within this spectrum there is a huge amount of variation and an awful lot of gray areas and blurry lines.

The next step is for me to return next week and run a 5K time trial on an indoor track with the gas analyzer mask attached ¨C that ought to be interesting and rather difficult to say the least! I also get to run on the treadmill again an Nike Flyknit Trainer Mens sale d have forcd have force measurements taken, which I¡¯m really looking forward to.
