Hello all,
I am a cross country runner at a D3 school going into my junior year. Since college, I have run in two shoes:
Mizuno Wave Inspire 10. I started with these towards the end of high school. Really liked them at first, but I think my form eventually transitioned out of them. I had 3 pairs of these.
Asics Gel Nimbus 17. I went with these after the Wave Inspires and really liked them. They feel great and last forever. My last pair had about 1000 miles. My third pair is almost at 600 miles. I would like to retire them at 800.
I run 70 mile weeks. I will need new shoes soon, and might get more than one pair this time. I figured the older Gel Nimbus models would be getting less expensive, but they are still around $100. Wave Inspires are a lot cheaper now, but I didn't like my most recent pair as much as previous ones.
Recommend me a new pair of shoes. Cheaper is nice. Long lasting is also good. I justified the high cost of the Gel Nimbus with how long they lasted. How long do you usually run in a pair of shoes?
Thanks!
