I admit it........I cheated. I was attracted to a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10s and I totally tapped it!! But after 150 miles on them......I think the romance is gone. Don't get me wrong, they seem to be a really great shoe. The problem is I have been rotating them with my older pair of Asics Nimbus 10s that are about to be retired. Every time the Nimbus go on, I just cannot believe how wonderful they are. So, I just bought a pair of the Nimbus 11s........WOW! Now I know why I have been running in them the last 5 years. I don't know what I will do if they ever drop that shoe from their offerings.

Buy more while you can.

(And don't say nobody discounts them. We don't want to go through that discussion again. )

((I went through 12 pairs of Mizuno Alchemy's until they changed them too much for my liking. So I understand about finding a shoe that works.))

Me too! Only it was more like 20 pairs.

Bastards.
