The Shoe Update: Why I Went With Asics (And Why I'm Still Looking)

from More Movement Please

If you've been waiting for an update on my shoe saga, this is the episode for you. I finally landed on the ASICS Women's NOVABLAST 5 shoes after a mad dash to replace a pair that was falling apart, and I'm spilling all the details on why I made that call fast, and why I'm not done shopping yet.Turns out being incredibly hard on footwear means you need a plan before urgency takes the wheel. I'm breaking down what I loved about the Asics, why I'm still curious about the Brooks Ghost and the Brooks Adrenaline, and why I'm fully prepared to become a shoe guinea pig in the name of finding the best workout shoe out there. I also have some exciting personal news to share: my husband and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary at Gen Con, the largest tabletop gaming convention in North America, and it is going to lead to some very fun fitness content in the coming episodes. Whether you're a fellow nerd, a fitness newbie, or someone who just wants to stay active while traveling this summer, you're going to want to stick around for what's coming.Listen to the "SHOES!" episode: https://rss.com/podcasts/more-movement-please/2693282/?via=moremovementpleaseWant to share your story or give feedback on the show?
