    Hello All

    I recently purchased a pair of Asics Gel-Nimbus 19. I am currently training for teh two oceans (56km) probably averaging 40-50 km a week and will peak at 70km.

    I have a new medical aid benefit and can purchase a second pair of shoes for a very low price. I have inners so I require a neutral shoe.

    I was wondering if I should buy another pair of asics or if I should opt for Men's Triumph ISO 3? (Asics feel slightly tight around the toes)

    Any other recommendations for a good long distance neutral shoe?

    The plan is to alternate shoes every day so in theory there should be less injuries and the shoes will last 2 years.

    Any ideas?

    Regards

    Lourens

    The shoes will last 2 years? Until you're going through shoes every 2 months, don't even fret about what's on your feet. Just run more miles.
