I was in the Dyad but I found it too squishy with not enough arch support. I just got the Ghost 6 (on clearance!) and love them. I kinda want to try to find another pair just to have them on hand. Of course now that I’m sidelined from running with stress reactions in both legs, those shoes will last longer. LOL

I’m totally loyal to Brooks, and I’ve heard that they’re definitely better for those of us with slightly larger feet, LOL.

Unfortunately when I went to get the updated model of what I am currently running in I discovered I really don’t like it so I’ll probably switch again! I also run in 2 different brand/ models during each round of marathon training and alternate between the two (usually the lighter pair for short runs and the more cushioned pair for longer runs…) – that seems to work well for me and gives me sneakers a break by being rotated!

I too feel the pain of having a larger foot! I’m a size 9.5/10 which means for running and CrossFit I need an 10.5/11 ( I really should get remeasured) and for some reasons companies don’t think that women have feet that size! Sorry, my rant is over! Woohoo for awesome training runs! :)

Black shoes are where its at. And I am so happy to hear running is going much better for you! Perfect that Todd is training for a marathon, too and can join you for some parts of your long runs.

Unless Asics gets stupid and changes up the structure of the shoe that I wear. Then I will switch and be super mad about it lol!

I am super jealous of y’all’s weather!! Fall is getting so close, but you’d never know it with Houston’s weather lol!

Great job this week in your training!

So far, I’m liking them, but I felt kind of guilty since I’ve been a Nike fan for so many years.

I can’t decide if I am going to take the new sneakers to Disneyland next weekend for Dumbo, I think I might bring both pairs just in case its too soon. I feel your pain with the big feet thing. I wear a size 12 in women’s or a 10.5 in men’s. I can usually find my size online if I want a pretty color, but the struggle is real.

I’ve tried on women’s wide sneakers, and some brands/models fit, but when I tried running in them it just was NOT pleasant. I wear a size 9 in a men’s sneaker (told ya I had BIG feet, haha), and a 10 in a women’s, and I think as a general rule of thumb men’s shoes are 1-2 sizes off what you’d wear in a women’s pair.
