Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 4094438, member: 93"] On the leather-soled shoe, we agree. I was Imelda freaking Marcos with a great collection of leather-soled shoes from the legendary (and now defunct) Barrie Booters in New Haven. I still have them all, resoled several times over the decades; and now I cannot imagine how or why I or anyone else ever tolerated that discomfort. I found Samuel Hubbard shoes several years ago and haven't worn a single pair of leather-soled shoes since. Of course, now I own seven pairs of them... If you haven't checked them out, do; they are the same people who made Rockports, which is all I used to wear when bartending. If you are looking for running shoes to walk in, try Hokas. My wife is a nurse and I bought her a pair for her birthday this year. She doesn't run, but she is on her feet all day at work and says they have made a huge difference. The running store where I got them said they sell more pairs of Hokas to nurses than they do to runners. If you're looking for running shoes to run in and you're an over-pronator like me, check out Brooks Adrenaline and Asics GT-2000; those are the two I alternate between. And I add a Currex RunPro insole because the insoles that come with running shoes are crap. It's worth your while to go to a good local running store and have them take a look at your old running shoes to analyze your gait and get you properly fitted. After that you can join Road Runner Sports and keep reordering the same shoes as needed for considerably less than you pay in the stores. [/QUOTE]
