Ghisallo had a 20% off sale today so I figured it was as good a time as any to get shoes for after I retire my Nike Vomeros upon completion of the Go! St. Louis Half Marathon in April. After having an eye on the Newton Running shoes for the last few months, I tried them on and didn't like them one bit. It felt like I was stepping on something at every step. I narrowed down to a pair of the Nike Lunar Racers and the Mizuno Wave Ronin. I went with the Mizunos. I hate that they're so ugly/are going to cause people to ask if I went to the University of Michigan (or Marion High School), but they're very lightweight and extremely comfortable. Further, they promote a much better running form than the Vomeros I currently use. Here's a picture of the new shoes:
Now I'm sort of thinking I may want to phase them in for the Go! Half Marathon rather than waiting for Chicago training. Anybody think eight weeks is too short of a time to phase into these for 13.1 miles?

You win. My Ronins are a bright red. While obnoxious, not nearly as ugly as those. Well done.
I'm told "serious runners" wear ugly shoes.
