Any reason the New Balance are favored? I have seen Dugaboy1 recommend them as well. I have Saucony shoes (Grid Stabil) because the running store (like I ever run!) recommended them for my arch shape.

I think I will try the Russells, but probably in a lower design, but will pack running shoes as well.

Time to get back to doing 3-5 miles a day since I look like the Pillsbury Dough Boy!
