My New Sneaks!

My new running shoes (to add to the other 5 pairs I have!) are waiting longingly for me to return to running. I recently invested in a pair of Mizuno Wave Inspire 8’s at the suggestion of my local running store and chiropractor/ART therapist.

Apparently my arches collapse when I run, so I now need a more stabilizing running shoe with a bit more arch support. My chiro still wants me to switch it up and run in minimalist shoes at least once a week to keep all of my foot muscles strong; but for everyday runs, the Mizunos will be my new training partner.

I have to say, they hit a home run with the color scheme on this year’s model (at least in my opinion). I love the combination of the navy, raspberry, and white. It’s different, and I like different!

I have been breaking in the new sneaks on the elliptical and walking around in them outside of the house. I really like the fact that they are a lighter weight stability shoe. Most running shoes that are stabilizing are kind of clunky, and these are definitely not!

I also added in a pair of Sof Sole inserts, which are super comfy! They have air cushioning in the heels and a Coolmax top layer that helps keep the feet dry. I really like them for casual wear, so I am anxious to see how they perform when I can hit the roads again!
