Last Sunday I went to RunTex here in Austin, Texas. I got fitted for running shoes, which was a far less technical exercise than I thought. My feet pronate (roll-in slightly) so I tried on some shoes that corrected this. Many thanks to Tim for hooking me up with a new pair of Asics GT-2090's.
I've never been fitted for running shoes before (I always bought the gym shoes that "looked cool" and used them for everything) but the Asics make quite a difference. We took em' out for a 30-minute test drive around Hyde Park. I had been having some ankle pain, which came back towards the beginning of the run but went away quickly and never came back. I'm hoping that's the end of that. Overall, the shoes are really comfortable and my feet were unfettered by the run.
