Check on ebay for running shoes, you can get last year's new in box models for under $50 (I've seen a few for like $20 actually)

- nice, are those springs?Meeklo
- yeah. but very small ones. They sorta feel like the ones you had. You feel close to the ground and feel they are your feet.VectorMasked

Yep. I also noticed differences when switching to nike+ ready shoes. But then I tend to run on a treadmill. Btw. Nice buy Meeklo. Good looking and great price. Wish I had shops around with those prices or outlet malls. :o(

I have been trying to run lately. I am on vacation, but have tried to run like 1-3 km every now and then. I found a running track and gave it a try. My shins are killing me. Obviously the change in surface makes it tougher on the legs, but this much? damn! Can't even walk. The track has that red dirt and have felt it is hard to lift my legs as I run. Guess some new muscles are just starting to get some action. The kind of action they don't get at a treadmill.
- I made a mistake they are actually Nike Zoom Victory, that's not the right shoe, but the price was correctMeeklo

so today I was able to run on my new shoes, these are nike+ ready so the sensor was on the sole instead of on top like I had it before.
I noticed that my average speed increased for almost 2 seconds.I guess I need to calibrate again?

Here is an interesting resource to see what kind of arch you have and what kind of shoe you should look for.
