Tried out the new shoes (Brooks Defyance 3) on the treadmill at the gym because it is FREEZING outside! Mile 1: 6.5 mph (9:14 pace) Miles 2-5: 7.0 mph (8:34 pace) then walked 0.5 miles at 10% incline then 0% incline both at 3.4 mph I don't think I like the new shoes..... crap! When will I ever find a pair I like? Good thing Marathon Sports has a 2 week return policy on shoes they fit for you! I don't know why I have had better luck just grabbing shoes off the clearance rack at the Adidas outlet than when I go have them fitted.... The Brooks make me feel like I am running on the very outsides of my feet and it hurts the inside and backs of my knees and the outside of my foot near the joint of my baby toe. I am going to give them another shot tomorrow but then I'm bringing them back. I am going to do some serious internet searching on shoe fit because for some reason this is not working for me
