I have this irrational hope that one day I will find the perfect running shoe. The one that will be supportive, yet cushiony; make me feel fast, yet never give me a blister. I realize I don't have an easy foot to fit. I was cursed with flat feet the size of boats, however, I don't think that should damn me to running shoe hell - where all I can find are shoes that are hard as bricks or some God awful shade of orange. And please, shoe salesmen everywhere take note - suggesting I try a men's shoe is an insult.
After a long tiring day of shoe shopping I have narrowed the field down to two contenders:
The new model of my old shoe, the Nike Air Structure Triax X

and a Mizuno Wave Renegade

I'm going to give myself a week to think about it. I'm really disappointed that the new version of my old Nike's has a lot less cushion than what I'm used to. I liked the Mizuno, but I'm afraid it's too narrow in the heel. You know these decisions would be much easier if these were $20 shoes rather than $100 shoes!

Have you tried New Balance running shoes? I have a pair, and they beat the heck out of the cushioning in the Nike's. Plus they are mesh around the foot, allowing more air in there (less blistering!).
