Yeah, I like my LLB leather hiking boots, but I like fastpacking in Salomons even better. Overwear is definitely an issue with running shoes, I just hadn't realized my problem extended to street shoes too!</p>andrewWed, 23 May 2007 15:18:33 -0000http://blogs.nashuatelegraph.com/offtrack/2007/05/22/choose-shoes/#comment-1923430<p>I agree with you about the virtues of Salomon shoes, which are certainly great. I had a pair of their hiking boots for a long time before switching to an LL Bean model, and they treated me well.<br><br>Too well, I think, because I, too, wore them too long. Surely there's some rule of thumb for trail running similar to the 500-miles-for-road-shoes maxim.</br><br><br>I suppose it depends on the shoe and where you go, but I wouldn't think you, Andrew, would want to do heavy training in any given pair of shoes for more than two or three months.</br></p>Alasdair StewartWed, 23 May 2007 08:15:21 -0000
