ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11

As you know, I've been doing the Couch to 5K running program.

One more "day" and I'm done! Yay! Then I'll work on getting speedier and outside (I've been doing it on the treadmill).

My sneakers are just sneakers ... plus they are starting to fall apart and kinda hurt my feet sometimes. They are leather so apparently my feet can't breathe.

I thought it was time to buy real running shoes. After the seminar this morning, I went to Foot Locker in the Eaton Centre.

The sales guy was very helpful. We talked about the different brands, types, etc.

Then he had me stand on a magical sheet for 20 seconds to determine which ones would be best.

I tried on four pair and I liked the ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11 best!

Excellent comfort and value in a single shoe. Features "Twist" GEL® Cushioning System, to enhance shock attenuation and improve toe-off. Also comes with the Space Trusstic System®, Solyte® Midsole Material, and the gait optimization of ASICS Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®).

No idea what most of that means but my feet loved them!

And since they are having a buy one pair, get another half price sale, I bought two pair.
