Women's Pace Glove Trail Running Shoe Deals 2012

Bought these comfy hiking mini-boots for amature hiking in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee this year after trying on a pair at a serious hiking outfitters. They didn't have my size, but I knew by the way they felt, these were the shoes I wanted. That they were 'cheap' compared to most of the other choices was even better. These are great shoes - quite comfortable, lightweight, needing no break in time. I felt more stable and secure on the trails last week than when I wore regular walking shoes. These are my first ever hiking shoes b/c I just assumed those trusty Reeboks were fine....what a difference! Another nice thing is that they're not just for woods walking....they're nice enough for day trips to the zoo, museums, city parks, even shopping.

Merrell has a line of casual shoes - sandals, loafers, oxfords - that I'll check out in the fall when school starts up and I'm shepherding active 10 year olds. I bought these shoes back in March, when I was beginning running. I had wanted to try running (jogging) for a long time, but put it off due to two major reasons: fear of needing bionic knees at some point in my future if I kept it up long enough, and the sheer ugliness of almost every running shoe I have ever seen. I think most athletic shoes are seriously ugly. So imagine my delight when I started reading about minimalist/barefoot running, and found some absolutely lovely shoes that would let me run the way I was born to, or at least close to it.

I started out very slowly, with a variation of Couch to 5K, even doing week one twice. Initially I noticed a lot of muscle soreness in my feet, which was tolerable and expected. I should add that I spend as much time as possible barefoot anyway, and have for years. I never wear shoes in the house, and for the most part have worn shoes with minimal or no support all my life (chuck taylors, classic Vans, flip flops, etc.) and have healthy feet and good arches. By week three or four I was having some serious ankle pain/soreness, which I chalked up to being a newbie and figured I either needed to be landing lighter or just needed to continue slowly building strength. After taking two full weeks off, the pain finally went away, and I eventually felt springier in my step. After a few more weeks I met my goal of running 5K without stopping.

I loved the shoes and would recommend them to whoever would listen to me. They are light, breathable, don't feel soggy or sloppy if I run through a puddle or some really wet grass, grip the ground well, protect me from sharp rocks and debris, and on and on. I spend as much time as I can running in the gravelly right-of-ways that most neighborhood streets in Tucson have instead of paved sidewalks, and the shoes feel great "off road." I would love to take them trail running.
