Title. I am a collegiate runner doing on average 70-75 mpw, and run in the Under Armour Speedform Gemini 3 shoes - have been for two+ years now. Used to run in Brooks Ravennas prior, but one day at the running store my fitter went out on a limb and made me try the original Geminis, and I loved them. Since then, not only have I been a fan of the newer models, but I've had almost no injuries since. (I'm usually pretty injury prone.)
However, at the same time...it's Under Armour. Besides a few products their history in running apparel is...bad. I haven't cared at all that my teammates have questioned my shoe choice, but I haven't really tried out shoes outside the running store other than those, the Ravennas, and Hokas for a bit. (Didn't like them.) This isn't necessarily asking if I should run in these shoes - I know they work pretty well for me. My real question is then, am I being an idiot for settling/not trying out shoes/brands that have much more stature than Under Armour? Thanks for any advice.
