Totally pain-free running!
I will begin by saying that the right type of shoe for you is key. Running shoes are created for different feet and what may be good for one may be horrific for others. I recommend anyone have their foot examined by a shop that specializes in running gear. That said these are the best I've tried for my kind of foot. I've been running 40-50 miles per week for over ten years. The "stability" and "stability plus" shoes have been deemed my type by a reputable running shop in my area. I usually run in certain Brooks and Asics shoes and have rotated throughout the years. My all time favorite to this point has been the Brooks Trance 6. But since the Brooks line has been deemed "biodegradable" so have my knees. Subsequent models have declined (for me) in cushioning and "runability". Since I have been running I have always had insignificant and nagging sporadic knee pains that I told myself were "part of running". I now must say that the Equalon 3 has changed my outlook. I have over 250 miles on these and any and all pain has disappeared. These things are like magic! My speed and total distance has improved since acquiring these shoes. I always laughed at Nike thinking they were the bogus choice of the "cool look" crowd not to be taken seriously for running. This is no longer the case. They are now my favorite shoe. Get fitted by a competent running shop first. If a "stability" shoe is recommended go straight for these. You won't be disappointed. Pay attention and give up on the "green" junk Brooks. You have been defeated by a much superior product. And this is from a runner that has always laughed at Nike.
P.S. Buy these a little big.More detail ...
