ASICS GEL-Neo33

button
I am linking up today with Mel and Laura to talk about my favorite running shoes. 
Well, if you have read any of my recent posts then you know that I just bought my first pair of real running shoes. 
Womens ASICS GEL-Neo33 Running Shoe
Before these I have only had cross trainers.  Which I always thought I needed because my cute little feet are a little fat so I always thought that running shoes would be to narrow for me. 
Well, I did some research and went into Performance Footwear and was professionally sized.  It is an interesting process that I think anyone could do, they didn't tell me anything that I hadn't learned from researching on the internet.  I figured out that I should buy a stability shoe in a size 7, I usually wear a 6 or 6 1/2.  I guess I just thought there was so much more to it.  But it seems it is just a game of trial and error.  Buy a pair, wear 'em, if you like them and they feel good, great, if you don't, well, then hopefully you bought them somewhere with a good return policy.  Mel seems to have had a better experience with her fitting, maybe I should have gone to Fleet Feet and been fitted instead of Performance Footwear but I had heard they were pretty equivalent, I don't know.  But I did buy my shoes from a website that gives me 3 months to wear them and see if I like them, if not I can exchange for another pair.
So far I am loving my new pair of Asics gel-neo33.  Granted, I have only worn these shoes for one run but they were aMAZING!!!
So comfortable, they are snug but it felt like I was being held perfectly.  Super supportive and just all around felt great.
Sorry I don't have more to share about them, give me a week and then ask again. 
But they are SUPER cute, see.

  3. Thanks for linking up! And what website did you buy them from?! I am in need of a store that will allow me to return the shoes if I don't like them, but I'm talking about running in them for a month and then deciding....not sure if a return policy like that exists. I have a pair of Asics, too...you're going to love them! They hug your feet so well, which is better than having shoes where your feet slosh around.

  6. What website did you use? I would love to buy some with a policy like that. I've always thought it is tough to get running shoes because you don't really know how you will like them until you get several good runs in. I think I'm going to try Fleet Feet this weekend. We also have a store called Breakaway that is supposed to tell you which is the best shoe for you too.

  7. I really love my local Fleet Feet! That's where I got fitted and they allow returns. I have never heard of a shoe website that allows a return. That's an awesome deal!
