New Runner - Comfortable Shoes - Less Shin Splints
By HeelToe
I was inspired by my old college roommate who at the age of 42 can still fit into the clothes he wore in high school to consistently jog every day starting with 1 mile and seeing how it goes from there. His recommedation was to have consistency; stick with it, take my time and eventually I will be able to run further and faster with less effort.Now about the shoes.I used some old Nike cross trainers (they were extremely light) for my first two days of jogging. It did not go well. Although I ran a complete mile non-stop each time, my shins were throbbing every time I finished and it hurt everytime I went up and down some stairs, for that first week. At the end of the week, I went to Marathon Sports in Newton, MA to get fitted on advice from a coworker that runs regularly.During the overview of trying different sneakers (Brooks and a couple others) and doing a couple of test strides, these ASICS Men's Gel Evolution 6 were the only ones that made me feel like I had support for my arch, control when my feet landed and most importantly, reduced the amount of pain that I was still feeling in my shins with every step that I took. I finally felt like they could hold my 5'10 230 lb frame up while running and prevent my legs from breaking at the shins. Before this, my mantra was "never pay more than $50 for a pair of sneakers." These sneakers are the most expensive sneakers I have ever purchased and they are worth every dollar (at $120 a pair, worth every penny seems too small a figure for the statement). After doing two subsequent runs on these shoes, my shin pain is no longer a distraction; allowing me to focus on my form, breathing and what I call the mental challenge of being able to stick with it; resisting the urge to quit in the middle of the run because I don't want to run anymore feeling. Today was the end of my second week and I am now up to 2 miles. I am not sure I would've continued running if I had not gotten these shoes.

By Azazello
I am an avid runner, unfortunately cursed with extremely flat feet and overpronation. I usually run about 20+ miles per week and runners knee has always been a problem for me. Today was my first day in the gel evolution 6 and they were awesome! Really comfortable with good support. Fits to size.

By Jon
I have flat foot, and i was also a little overweight, which lead to shin splints that makes running almost impossible for me.I've decided to buy these shoes and give it a try. In the first 2 weeks I ran and played tennis with them. But the pain was still there. After 2 weeks pain started to reduce, I started to run better, changed my eating style to a more healthy one. And now I've been running with them for almost 6 months now, and I have no pain, I'm healthier, more fit and I can run better. These shoes worked magical for me, not only lead me to a painless run, but inspired me to loose weight.I strongly recommend them if you suffer from shin splints. They don't look very nice (but beauty is in the eye of beholder) so you can't wear them under jeans really, but they function so well that I'm giving it 5 stars.Also i received the shipping quickly and without problems from Amazon.
