    +2. My knee has been bugging me lately...maybe I’ll try running in a diff pair to see if that helps.

    You're not rotating shoes?

      I am--usually 3 pair.

      1) Ghost 10's--my everyday shoe

      2) Adidas Boston's--using it as an everyday but don't use it as much as the Ghosts

      3) NB 1400s--for speedwork & races, but I've done neither recently, so it's mostly been my Ghosts.

        Ok. The way you said it before, I thought you weren't.

            Me too!

             

            onemile - Jackrabbit doesn't have them in my size... aaargh!!!  Thanks though.

             

            Has anyone tried the Adizero Tempo 9's?  They look similar to the Bostons (maybe slightly heftier) and have the Conti rubber, which I really like.

              I used to wear the Adizero Tempo as my marathon shoe but it wasn't version 9.  Maybe 5 or 6?  They have a sort of narrower fit than the Boston and a noticeable arch bump (that disappears for me when I run). Def a little more shoe than the Boston but not by a lot.

                Thanks!  I might swing by a store to try them on.  I can't wear anything much narrower than the Bostons, but we'll see how it fits.  Do need to find another shoe to toss into the rotation though.

                  I was going to return my Bostons actually because I thought they felt a little sloppy on my feet and preferred the fit of the adios but I was too lazy and waited too long. Anyway, I missed the cutoff to return them so I kept them and pulled them out of the box the other weekend and did a 10 mile run and suddenly I like them. lol

                    Yes, I remember you said you were going to return them.  Guess things worked out.   I do use superfeet green in mine, which do add a little to firm them up.

                      In that case you might like the Tempo (without the inserts because it comes with built in support)

                        You are probably right, I do not like them with the green superfeet. I'm too afraid to run without them though.

                          With other shoes, I'll use the superfeet blue with a lower profile.  But all this experimenting does get costly.... need to find a second job soon, or sell a kid.
