I thought the toe box fit my foot well and I don't have a lot of extra room in there. I definitely didn't feel like I was tripping over the edges.

I'm also married to the Mizuno Inspires - seems like a popular shoe - but the more I strengthen my legs through lifting/crossfit I have thought about trying a more neutral shoe. :)Carly D. @ CarlyBananashttp://carlybananas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-86910562948443960812013-02-26T06:55:09.000-05:002013-02-26T06:55:09.000-05:00I've been wearing Asics 2170s for years and ma...I've been wearing Asics 2170s for years and managed to get a stress fracture. In all my rehabbing, the PT wanted me back in them with the addition of orthotics. I was still running with shin pain and figured I'd always have pain when I run.<br><br>Then I decided to do something crazy. I bought a pair of NewtonRunning Gravity shoes - neutral with a 3mm drop. I'm loving them. So far I've done a 6 mile run inside and yesterday ran one of my fastest 4 mile runs EVER in them outside. Is my shin pain 100% gone? No. Do my calves and ankles feel the difference? Yes. Am I working harder to improve my running form? Yes. Am I still running my long runs outside in my Asics? Yes (I didn't want to risk all the snow and ice we've had in shoes with no stability.) But in some weird way, I think I'm onto something. Maybe I've been running in too much stability and it's screwing me up and resulting in injury. <br><br>Hopefully these Sauconys will continue to work for you.Barihttp://livelaughrunbreathe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-59918222102393545422013-02-26T13:35:50.000-05:002013-02-26T13:35:50.000-05:00I am loving reading all the reviews of these shoes...I am loving reading all the reviews of these shoes!

I have however, been using them on most of my short runs and still love them, especially on the treadmill. <br><br>I've always had problems running on the treadmill in my regular shoes with form causing my hips and knees to hurt, but I don't have any of those problems in these shoes.Jesshttp://jessruns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-13003107810259816362013-02-27T05:19:13.000-05:002013-02-27T05:19:13.000-05:00I love your blog!

I am, however, looking for more minimalist shoes for weight training. The last time I tried Saucony, I felt like the toe box was really wide and I was always kind of tripping over the edges (do you know what I mean?). Did these feel roomy in the toe for you?Carly @ LifeInTraininghttp://trainingwithcarly.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-48802689047794234512013-04-23T02:52:47.000-04:002013-04-23T02:52:47.000-04:00[...] as part of a FitFluential partnership.
