[quote=Anonymous]Good luck with your fitting! I recently started running in my 40s after not doing it for 15 years, and I was amazed at how much sneaker technology has changed. I wound up with a pair of Brooks (Revel 3, if anyone is interested) with knit uppers, and they are great. I've always avoided running because I have some knee stability issues dating back to high school. But I was desperate for a way to get exercise during this era of closed gyms and few group workout options, plus I wanted an excuse to get out of the house and away from my (lovely) family. Well, I'm three months in and after having to make a gait adjustment after the first couple times out, I'm feeling great and my knees have had no issues at all.

I will say, the trend now is toward tons of cushioning, which I was skeptical about at first because the last time I ran the trend was the opposite. But I'm sold. The cushioning on my shoes is ridiculous (which is why I had to adjust my gait) but I think it's saving my knees. I also haven't had any shin splints, which used to plague me.

Basically, running shoes have come a long way and I hope your experience is as good as mine has been.[/quote]
