    In the market for new Shoes

    Any advice on what to Get?
    Primarily suitable for long distance so they must be comfortable.

    I have a pair of Nike Revolution 2 at the moment and they were a beauty of a runner, like running with clouds on your feet.

    They are worn out now and my feet are starting to hurt.

    Need to get this right the 1st time as I bought a pair of Nike runners off the shelf not long ago and they are useless for me, you can feel everything.

    Should I go to a specialist shop?

    I think I might have a unique way of running but I'm not sure, I think I fall heavier on my left foot as it's my left that hurts 1st.

    sounds like you prefer a good bit of cushioning.

    could be worth paying the extra over online and going to a specialist shop like amhpibian king, run logic (temple bar).

    may need a bit of stability so something like the adidas boost st could suit you.

    one advantage of the boost shoes is that the cushioning appears to last longer than than the cushioning material in other shoes. reportedly after 500miles / 800km it's still good. other shoes may only have effective cushioning for 1/2 that so it ends up being better value in the long run (excuse the pun).
    you'd be looking at over €100 though.

    Why not just buy another couple of pairs of Revolution and keep one aside? you can pick them up quite cheap online. Changing footwear can cause issues. I've learned the hard way, so now I try keep to the same.
    In saying that, the Revolution is very much an entry level shoe. Nike Pegasus might be a good option for you and people swear by them. Slightly bigger heel to toe drop but great cushioning.

    I was thinking that but then again what if there are bigger and better things out there for me?
    What if a different new pair enhances my performance?

    Couldn't run comfortably without knowing
