...and they are heavenly!
Apparently, my 2nd pair of New Balance 715 (in men's sizes...NBs seem smallish to me) have bruised my toenail on my right foot and while this is not the first time this has happened (apparently, this is a common condition called "runner's toe." Hardcore, baby!) I don't think I have to suffer through this when there are other, bigger shoes available. So yesterday I bought my first pair of Sauconys at First Foot or Shoe Greatness or whatever it's called in Old Orchard Mall.
I tried out the shoes last night and holy cow, what a difference in changing brands. While I enjoy the NBs, the Saucony's fit my feet snug in the middle and oddly, enough kind of feel like foot massage to walk in. It feels like there are all these little air bubbles in the soles, and when you walk you really feel the cusioning. This might seem trivial, also, but they are a nice shape and even though they are men's shoes, they look kind of "ladylike," if that's possible.
Saucony: thumbs up!
