I wear Saucony running shoes with a special insert that keeps me from pronating.

I got the shoes and inserts at Fleet Feet (a local running shop). I have two pair of the Saucony and one pair of New Balance. The NB are for less intense walks.

Come visit. We'll take the Fireman to see our green trucks, the reproduction of the Liberty Bell at City HQ where I spent most of my career, and while we're in town, we'll take you to the best running/walking shoe store in the world...

I'm very New Balance loyal, but it doesn't sound as though our feet are too similar.

I've ust about worn out a pair of Aasic Gels; I'd get them again. BTW I'm trying your bootie with some leftover sock yarn; thanks again for the link!

I'm an Easy Spirit lover. Most of my shoes, both dress and casual/exercise are Easy Spirit! DH wears the Fleet Feet inserts in his New Balance.

There are stores where they let you try on their range of shoes to fit your feet. You walk/run on a treadmill and they assess your gait and find you shoes to fit.

My running shoes are Asics and I much prefer them to Nike or Reebok.

If you have a Roadrunner Sports in your area I would recommend going there. They analyze how you walk/ run and have shoes to match!!!


They did a great job recently for me.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
