Yes! Anxious shoe buyer here. My favorite brand is closing out, Saucony Grid Shadows. I've tried Addidas Supernova Cushion, and the went back to the Grid Shadows. It's either too big in the ankle or not big enough in the toe box....eek! anxiety. I need stability shoes too. My ankle twists when I run if I don't have that type.


Saucony's getting rid of the Shadow? No way! That's their best selling shoe. Oh man, if they really are closing it out, then go stock up.

I get new shoe anxiety all the time.

New Balance 854s rocked my face off. I set PRs and ran record mileage through 4 pairs of them.

Then the 855s came out and they are a completely different shoe. They hurt my ankles and arches where the 854s were like pillows on my feet.

For now, I'm running in the Brooks Adrenaline. They aren't as nice as I had gotten used to, but at least they don't cause me pain like the 855s.

Anyway, I hate starting over and having to find a new shoe again. Then I hate it even more when you find a pair and they decide to "relaunch" the model.

Finding new shoes sucks monkeys!!!
