After much deliberation and some suggestions from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I decided on another pair of Nike’s. I was almost all set on a pair of Brooks Ghost 11's because my Ghost 10's have been good, but Nike’s just look so awesome. I will probably scoop up a pair of Ghost 11's so that I have something to switch out every once in a while now that I’m running everyday. There is really no point to this post but the office is dead and I can’t leave yet. So I’m going to go for a painful run in my beat Ghost 10's then go home. I hope everyone has a great long weekend!

I’ve been working the zero drop Altra TMPs for a while (around 1200 miles) and I’ve noticed much less knee/ankle issues.  Most of my running is off pavement though.

Hey nice! Pegasus is always a solid choice, and Nike (and Adidas) performance models look way better than Asics/ Brooks/ NB/Saucony.

I replaced my Nike Structure 20s with Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18 this go round. I like how the Brooks feel but they’re borderline dad shoe looking. The Nike Structure is the only stability shoe that comes in 4E and doesn’t look like a dad shoe.

Depending on how you feel about the Pegasus, the Ghost is pretty similar. For a change of pace, you might want to go for something a bit different.

NB 890v6 would give you a lighter weight while maintaining most of the cushion of the Pegasus. NB Fresh Foam Zante v4 is a little bit lighter than the 890.

I f you want some more plushness without adding a bunch of weight, there’s the Asics Cumulus 20, or if you want to spend more, assorted Adidas Boost models (Supernova, Solar Glide, Solar Boost, Ultra Boost). Adidas naming is confusing and they have lots of similarly named shoes but the ones with ST in the name are usually the stability ones.

One last idea is the NB 1260v6, not the v7. Joe’s New Balance Outlet still has the v6. It’s maybe another ounce heavier per shoe and technically a stability model, but the arch support isn’t too aggressive and they’re super plush.

I love my 33 Jungle Packs. I was looking for a colorful special edition Pegasus 34, and I’ll definitely be on the hunt for a crazy 35. That blue is nice, but for the price, I want something fun. Plus, I have these, some of the tamest shoes I own.

Tinker Hatfield’s game is definitely on point.

Also a Ghost 10 user. I’d try other shoes but these are the only ones that seem to fit my weird feet. Hope the Ghost 11 isn’t too different.
