Actually I just had to get something else on the top other than Oopsie.

So my experiment of running with two different shoes is definitely showing a winner. I am really liking the comfort of the Mizuno Wave Runner 10, too bad they have discontinued it. I guess I’ll have to try the 11 as it is the one that replaced it. I think the big issue with the New Balance 800s is that they are tight. My mom says that since NB started manufacturing their shoes in China that the sizes have been running about a half-size smaller. I would say that mine surely feel about that much tighter. Combined with not having a tongue to loosen my fit, they are definetely tight. I wore them to the store the other day with lite socks and they felt pretty good. I’m not giving up on them, I think I’d like to take them hiking to see how they do in that scenario since they are supposed to be trail shoes.
