If you're not running in them anymore, what have you switched to?<br><br>
I am 5'6", 153 pound female, with fairly high arches and a neutral gait with possibly a little under-pronation. All the wear on my shoes is on the outer half of the front sole, virtually no heel wear. I have been running in the Supernova Cushion and have been extremely happy with it for a couple of years (starting at 191 pounds). I have found that with the current pair, which is my 4th pair (Supernova Cushion 6), the ball of my left foot is very sore after a run although it doesn't bother me during the run and goes away in a few hours. It seems to have started once I started running more than 5 miles in a single run. I have also read reviews from others who feel that the cushioning in the front is not as good for this round of Supernova's. As my runs have gotten longer and are on their way up as I half started training for a half, I'm not sure they are a good candidate for those longer distances. Perhaps it is an injury but I doubt it-I still have my older pair and it doesn't happen with that pair--the previous version. I can still get the previous version but that won't be forever either, so I'll have to go to something different sooner or later unless Adidas comes out with a better version very soon...<br><br>
I have tried the Asics Gel Nimbus-VIII and hated it--I couldn't lace them tight enough for the heel to not move around on me and the left shoe felt like it had a ridge in the forefoot that was very annoying. Maybe I just got a bad pair.<br><br>
I know the response will be "get thee to a running store"--if only the one here would have my size. Last time they had NOTHING, this time they have three pairs (Saucony Pro-Grid Triumph, Brooks Glycerin, Asics 2120) in a 9 and since that is my street shoe size, it may not be big enough. Another running store is 3-4 hours away, so I may have to settle for an online store with a liberal return policy (i.e. Road Runner Sports) So any feedback is appreciated, especially if you've had experience with the Supernova. For some reason I don't see a lot in these forums about Adidas but I thought I would ask.<br><br>
Thanks,<br>
