most that know me, know I’m all in to try new..

and most that know me, know that recently I’ve been all over two brands

Hoka One One, and On…I love my Hoka Arahi 5s, the On Cloud Swifts…both feel the most natural, my stride feels great, and in either I never think about my feet or my shoes or how my feet fit or feel in them…….but

No matter what, I go back to Brooks…Brooks footwear/shoes…let’s just agree to call them shoes from now on…not trainers, not footwear, and never, never sneakers…(that’s what they sell at WalMart)………but also Brooks clothes, socks, caps…….their stuff just all seems to fit and work for me…

I think every runner does this……they try other things, other shoes, clothing…..and when they find what works, that’s it, that just works……….

I will say I just received a pair of shorts from Hoka, and they work..they fit well, has a secret pocket for a car key…and feels comfortable, no chafing…but I’ve never had to think about that with Brooks shorts, tights, or shoes……just always perfect for me……

As I sell this stuff, it’s hard to not push what you like and use, but, well, for me easy…I’ve pretty much have run everything, and have run in everything…if someone asks me, say about shoes, and asks about Asics, Nike, Saucony, On, Hoka, New Balance, Brooks and just about anything and everything else….I haven’t always loved everything, but I know how they feel, how well they feel, what they’re made of…..and pretty much who each would work for……..or not…but yeah, that Brooks Ghost, Adrenaline, Beast, whatever, they work!

Everyone is different though too……so, yeah, in the right season, I like compression, tights, the tights I run in should fit, be fitted, should be tight…I can’t run in pants, anything loose….yep, may be warmer at some point, but they just feel comfortable, and my Brooks tights feel perfect…they actually make me want to run…..

whenever I look at older pictures, and check out what shoes I’m wearing…..yep, Brooks!

oops…..Saucony?……must have been a moment of weekness..

those are Saucony as well……so, oh well…usually Brooks

OMG…Mizuno!??

Okay so I have worn everything……tried everything…

okay, finally BROOKS!!!…oops, nope, Hokas!!!

So I have tried everything….and yes, shoes, the construction does change……

But yeah, going back to Brooks..just because…now the Adrenaline just because I like the support (guide rather than force, guide rails work great!)……..and the cushioning is unreal (Hoka, and On’s are pretty sweet too though)…but yep….back home
