Oooooh, my shoes just came in.
First impressions, obviously, and will need to try them out, but......
1) Love, love, love these
Saucony Kinvara shoes. They look awesome (normally don't even care about that) and they feel like a complete dream. I cannot wait to try them out in a little bit. I can see these being my go-to shoe.
2)
Nike Pegasus 34. I know I tried it on in the store and liked it and I still do. But, I tried them again after the Saucony and it makes me appreciate #1 even more. Tons of cushioning, though.
3)
New Balance Foam Zante....incredibly light but very little support appreciated compared to the other 2. My first impression is that I don't know if I'm going to like it that much but I can also see it growing on me. I've been wearing them for the last 10-15 minutes around the house and they feel better than when I first put them on.
Finally, I'm looking forward to running in these 14's. I've been in 13's all my life and I'm not used to that much room up in the toe box but I think it's going to make my toes feel so much better. It doesn't feel like my foot is moving around at all inside given the extra room but we'll see once I get out there. Of the 3, the New Balance shoes have the most room and the Saucony has the least (still a full thumbnail, though).
