...and so it seems that must begin my quest of finding new running shoes.

Should I go with Nike?

New Balance?

Newtons?

Puma?

Adidas?

Reebok?

Payless shoes?

What should one be looking for when they approach a potential new pair of shoes?

It feels many times that fashion plays a big role in selecting shoes, and I fear that I may have fallen victim to this trend... but I can't help it! Yes, I want the best shoes I can strap on my feet, but I would hate to be seen running like a clown around town.

Do these issues effect the way you buy shoes?

Other things are all these "features" these shoe companies have. Like NB's "ABZORB" technology, or Nike's "AIR" and others...

In the end, does it matter? Iuno...

What to do... : /
