Shopping for running shoes (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

When I started running the C25k program three weeks ago I ran on my flat-soled Puma sneakers. They weren't very comfortable and they didn't protect my ankles worth anything, but they were at least better than my traditional curb stompers.

Yesterday I finally went shopping for some real running shoes at Run2Day in Utrecht. Since Menno has a lot more experience in sports than I do I asked him to tag along. Besides, trips like those are always a lot more fun with him around ^_^

In the end I settled for the Adidas Supernova Control 9, which feels very stable and comfortable and also corrects my overpronation.

I'd been sent to Run2Day by my colleague Remco who's a frequent shopper over there. I have to agree with him that it's great to have someone really inspect your feet and the way you run to pick the right shoes. The only downside to going to a brick'n'mortar store like that is that the prices are rather high :( I paid 120 euros for the same pair that would have cost me 80 dollars at Amazon.

Still... The shoes are great and I'll go and take them out for a jog later this morning.
