How do you choose new shoes?

First I would go here.

The I would scroll down to see what the recommendations are.

Then I would use the Shoefitr thingamabob for all the recommendations.

Then I would order one pair of all the shoes I looked at in the recommended sizes. The Piranha, Universe, and Spider.

Then, once I received the shoes, I would run in each pair of shoes individually and in mismatched pairs.

Then I would think about how the shoes, my feet, my gait, and my runs felt in all the different shoes.

Then I would decide which shoe made me the happiest.

Then I would package and exchange the shoes that didn't make me the happiest for the shoes that did.

Then I would go for a happy run and be happy in my new shoes.

The End.

I would indeed be happy.

I only buy products that professional athletes are paid to endorse. Those are obviously the best.

Meb is my favorite runner, so I'll stick with Skechers.

First thing I do is find what shoes are being made in my size (US 15). This immediately limits my choices dramatically, rules out just about every minimal shoe manufactured today, and makes me want to run barefoot full time.

Unless you want shoes that weigh in at close to (or more than) a pound each, choices are very limited for those with larger feet.

So jealous of you guys who can actually choose which shoes to wear.

Go to the nearest running specialty store you can and ask their knowledgeable staff.

I have never gone wrong this way.

I am size 15 as well. It's not that bad besides not being able to try on shoes at the store. I am pissed NB doesn't carry minimus in sz 15. Do you find that the widths for bigger shoes aren't right?
