AWESOME!!!!
I wish I looked as chill as you do after running a half marathon! My face gets SO pink and ridiculous. Haha!
Impressive! Oh how I miss my pair of yellow WR16's. Loved everything about that shoe even though I stress fractured in them.I'm also a fan of Mizuno Wave Riders, I've had a few more than four pairs though.

Those are actually the 18's (all three pairs). I think the blue and gray pairs are also 18's. To prevent from going broke buying shoes I wait until the new show comes out and then buy several pairs of the "old model" shoe. I started wearing the Wave Rider when they were on the 12's and loved those shoes. The 14's had a smaller toe box which I wasn't a fan of and had to go up half a size. I think the 15's came out with a bigger toe box, so I dropped back down a half size. Since then I haven't noticed a lot of variation in the feel of the shoes. The uppers have changed materials over the years, they have gone with less material which has made the shoes lighter, but to me they still feel the same to run in.I'm assuming those black ones are the new 19's? How are they?

That was probably 10-15 minutes after I finished. The boys met me at the end of the "health food" buffet they always set up at the end of races. Always makes me laugh...tables full of Skittles, Kripsy Kreme donuts and protein/candy bars at the end of a running race.I wish I looked as chill as you do after running a half marathon!

I still contend I only have three pairs of shoes. A black pair, a brown pair and my running shoes.and we called VTE a shoe whore!!! you my good sir are right up there in the same category
I read an article a while back on the affects of the super thick soles on distance running. There was very strong data correlating increased endurance/comfort/speed when compared to standard and slipper type running shoes.That was probably 10-15 minutes after I finished.

For the most part, I was always a Brooks guy. Started on some Ghosts and then switched over to the PureFlows. I've still got a brand new pair of Hoka Cliftons in the closet that I'll use if I can ever get started again. They may look clunky, but they're Super comfy and are actually almost as light as my PureFlows.![]()
Most of those are retired running shoes. They are only good for around 300 miles of running at which point I get a new pair. I typically go through 3-4 pairs a year, so when I find a pair on sale I tend to buy multiple pairs at a time (hence the multiples in the same color). This "collection" was amassed over several years of running, and I was really only wearing a few of these at the time of the picture. The oldest ones (at the top left) are my yard shoes now. The newest ones (bottom right) are my current running shoes. In fact at the time of this picture the two newest pairs hadn't logged a single mile. The photo was taken prior to donating most of the shoes in between, just to document how much money I've wasted on running shoes.RW - that collection is nuts. That said, I'd like to do the same with my Reebok Crossfit shoes to a lesser extent, but when the new model comes out, most places are already purged of my size, even online (10.5/11).
