That's what I thought, just checking.

I swear by the SOLE heat moldable inserts.

if you have some problems you can run on grass, it is amazing.
i do some easy-medium trail sometimes and my legs and knees are much better now thanks to soft surfaces.

do you have any suggestions for a trail-shoes ?

where i can run on slippery, wet, rocks surfaces ?

thanks, have a nice run !

Mario what do you run in regularly? I run almost exclusively trails these days and recently transitioned to the brooks pure line but those are only good for people looking for a minimalist shoe. I've previously done the cascadias. Also, what's the surface of the trails your on?

thanks Suesquatch and All-Smiles !

I'm living near a wonderful country-side so I'm going on grass terrain and rocks and sometimes slippery, wet surfaces.

so I was looking for a Trail shoes. i have found the Salomon xt wing s-lab ... that seems to be one of the best , selected by some very good runners...

I'm looking for this kind of shoes... what do u think ?

Mario, take a look at the Hoka One One lineup. I run in the Stinson model and I think it's the best trail shoe I've ever used. Plenty of cushioning and surprisingly light weight.

Salomon is great. I also like La Sportiva Wildcat.

One of my more accomplished trail running friends was raving about the Soloman S Lab Sense 3 i believe. The Brooks Cascadias are good as are the Pure Grit.

Brooks Cascadia have a problem now with being slippery on rocks.

shoe companies have gotta stop messing with shoes!

So I tried out my new Asics Numbus.

SUPER cushy. More than I am accustomed to but nice. They run a bit bigger than the Saucony - I'm 7.5 in a street shoe, always buy 8.5 for running. I could easily wear the 8 in these. I'll wear fat Thorlos with them. The heel is a bit loose.

Having new running shoes is such a nice rush!

Hooray for new shoes! I ran in new shoes yesterday and I was so excited about it, it was silly. And awesome.

You can't swap them for 8s?

Amazon. I'm not dealing with shipping them back. Thorlos and lacing will do it.

I thought you were not going to buy from Amazon anymore. Did I get that wrong?

IKR! I don't get it, if they're going to change a shoe, why not call it a different model?

Yay for new shoes for Sue! I HATE buying new shoes. Fortunately the DH and I take the same size and as long as I don't go for the pink ones he's willing to wear my rejects.

I wasn't. Because Mike. Then he realized how impossible life without Amazon is so he relented.
