Went to runners world to change shoe after 2+ months since I have run only less than 60 miles in it and had a runners world warranty. They said nope. Going back to my Adidas super novas. Cranky engineer's mind flared up and analysed why the shoe was giving issues and Mark said "way toooooo much shoe". Brooks Gly was heavier and I weigh 140. The toe box was narrow and it is not bending. I am toe striker and my midfoot rolls on. so....
