Up to this point, I’ve been running a pair of Nike Air Alvords that are meant for trail running. That’s probably not the best plan, considering I only ever run on roads/pavement. So tonight I bought a new pair New Balance MR720 running shoes, and some nice, cushioned Under Armour socks.

I did a quick run of a tiny bit less than a mile just to test them out, and they seemed pretty good. It wasn’t a huge difference over that limited distance, but I’m hoping that over longer distances they should be a little kinder to my knees/feet.
Weather permitting, I plan on doing a relaxed 5K tomorrow after work.
Looks aren’t everything! This NB shoe is very comfortable. It is not the best looking shoe I’ve had of NB, but it has excellent arch support. The colors are good, and it wears well all day. A good shoe for outdoor wear
