    I'm on my 2nd pair of Asics 2150's (duomax). They just "re-did" the shoe so now it's a 2160. As such, this pair of 2150's was on sale 1/2 price. yay!

    New Balance shoes built on the SL-2 form are the only ones that have worked for me for the past 10 years, at least. I'm starting to think about trying out their new line of Minimus shoes.

    i wear new balance they are very good for workouts unless i do a lot of running - getting shin splints. I was told they were cross trainers so thought they would be good. My trainer told me to get inserts so will try them to see if that will help.

    Just getting into running, how often do y'all replace your shoes, and can you get away with just replacing the inserts first?

    About every 300-400 miles.

    You can't just replace the insoles, no. The midsole in the shoes breaks down before the insole will. The midsole is what has most of your cushioning.

    I have several pairs of New Balance, but my favorite is the 798's they make my feet feel so good.
    I usually wear SAS's for walking at work all day being on my feet my body would ache after awhile I tried about 100 pairs of shoes to get rid of the aches that were making me feel decades older than I needed to. I purchased probably 9-10 pair of work out shoes. and interestingly each one has it's own personality. If it is a long workout I use ____ and a short walk around the neighborhood I use_____ and on the treadmill I use _____. Maybe I am addicted to just having a bunch of shoes, but the change works for me. Except when I am using my NB 798's they can be used for everything :)

    I just purchased Skechers Resistance Runners, but are yet to recieve them since I ordered them from the states. There are a ton of good reviews regarding these shoes. I will post a review once I have given them a test run. :)
