Brooks Beast '12 not as good as Beast '11

I have bad feet and I tear up my shoes rather quickly, so I buy a new pair every 5-8 months. I don't make a lot of money, I don't have mush to spend on extras, but comfort is one thing I always splurge on. I figure $300 a year for something I will be spending nearly half my time in is money well spent. I am wide footed and wear 10.5 4E. Decent wide width shoes are hard to find. People with wide feet are more limited. Most shoes run a little narrow. All Nike shoes I've bought in the past were too narrow. Some lines of shoes don't offer wide shoes and even some brands don't offer wide shoes. So, when I shop for shoes, I try to find the perfect pair for me, and I spend days researching shoes online.Last year I bought the Brooks '11, which was the first time I've ever wore a Brooks brand shoe. At first I was unimpressed, but reviews said that it may take time to break them in and they were right. After a few weeks the shoes became the ...not sure if they were the most comfortable or second most comfortable shoe I've ever wore. New Balance 993's were also very nice.Anyway, after 8 months, it was time for a new pair. I was going to order the same pair, but I saw that a newer version was available. The new version was a tab bit more expensive, but I liked the new style and figured it would probably be superior to my last pair in every way. But I was wrong.I ordered a pair through Zappos, put them on, and went for a walk. I immediately noticed that they were more narrow and my feet felt a little cramped, but I figured I would break them in and they'd stretch out. And for the most part, they did stretch out, but not quite like I wanted. After about a month, they were still kinda uncomfortable. I could tell they were completely broken in.They also seem to have tore up quicker. It's been about 4 months, and I think I need a new pair of shoes. The pleasing style of the shoe has maintained from the Brooks '11, but everything else seems to have diminished slightly. I think I'm going to try the Asics Kayano 19 next and perhaps try the Brooks '13 when it comes out, which I think will officially determine my opinion of the brand.I think for $140 there are way better shoes out there.

floppy hat

I received this wadded into a ball and it was badly creased and wrinkled. I had two choices one was try and fix the problem or return the hat. I decided to take one for the team and try and fix the problems with this hat since it was to be a gift. First of all remember this hat is made of paper. Ok, I rolled up a couple washcloths and a hand towel and put them into the hat. I then sprayed the hat with warm water lightly. I set the hat on a towel on my kitchen table. I smoothed the hat with my and starting with the crown stuffed with towels I then smoothed the brim with my hands. I let it dry and I went back in a hour to see how the creases were doing. I managed to smooth the worst of the creases in the crown out but the brim still had a few deep creases. I then put a pressing cloth on the brim and sprayed it and lightly Ironed the brim. I used a medium setting on my iron. I then let it dry again and the hat now looks very nice. If this was a straw hat you can dunk it in warm water and then shape it. I know as my husband and my son sat on many hats over the years. However, since this is a paper hat do not wet it to much and I got most of the crases out just smoothing it with my hands. The iron was a last resort and I knew that I could not iron back and forth just press the creases. This seller does a poor job of mailing hats as well this hat was balled up. I have had paper hats mailed to me in plastic bags that arrived unscathed and in perfect condition several times this year. I wear hats all the time because of skin cancer so I have a lot of experience with this. I bought this for My Granddaughter as she also has fair skin and I hope to get her in the habit of wearing hats. Since this does not have a ribbon on this I bought a ribbon and a pink rose to put around the crown. so if you get a really creased hat try and fix it and if that does not work return it. Good Luck Ladies

Saucony walking shoe

Since I started exercising regularly eight years ago, I only bought Nike shoes. Because they run small, I would have to get a half-size larger but they fit fine. Then I started having more and more problems finding Nike shoes which fit. Shoes a half-size larger didn't fit anymore and even going up a full size didn't always work. The last pair that I bought last year at the Nike outlet in Las Vegas were OK and I wondered if it was due to them being made in Indonesia, instead of China or Vietnam. However, I had no luck when looking for shoes locally.So when I saw the Cyber Monday shoe deal and started browsing, I noticed the reviews of the Saucony athletic shoes and was impressed. I decided to order the walking shoe (half-size larger per review comments). I was a bit apprehensive about getting white, leather shoes but when these arrived yesterday, I was so pleased. They are very well-made and amazingly light. I wore them today when I went grocery shopping and didn't realize until I got home that I had not put the inserts (for plantar fasciitis) in the shoes. For the past year, walking any distance without the inserts hasn't been possible. I love these shoes!

Tougher than the Tough Mudder

I love these shoes.They are well made, have a very comfortable heel, plenty of room in the toe box, broke in quickly and conformed to my foot. I really like the lacing system and the toe cap. I tend to stub my toes near the end of trail runs, and this has saved me from several black toes.I recently wore these in the Tough Mudder. I was one of the few people that wasn't slipping and sliding all over the place. Traction is terrific in almost any terrain, though they obviously aren't shoes for serious road work. The laces kept them on my feet in the worst of shoe-sucking mud pits. The clasp on the laces did get gunked up and made it difficult to remove the shoe, but worked just fine once the mud was rinsed out.I do occasionally have some issues with rocks getting into the heel (running downhill on gravel is the worst), but all shoes would have that problem so I won't hold it against them.They won't keep your foot from getting wet, but they dry very quickly and don't hold water in like some of my previous shoes. (I'm looking at you, Nike Shox.)They cleaned up very easily. Just rinsed off the worst of the mud and gravel and threw them in the washer. Presto.These won't be the greatest in the winter because they are too breathable.They don't have a lot of arch support, but there is plenty of room to add if needed.If you are looking for a great trail shoe, I'd highly recommend these. Definitely well-made and worth the money.***UPDATE***I've worn these shoes for over 50 miles of trail races and countless training miles. While I see a little wear on the lugs, they are still in nearly new condition. The laces and slider have held up well and the shoe itself still looks and feels great. Don't even think I'll need a new pair for racing season this year. Definitely have held up very well!!

Nice Boot - Runs Small

I ordered these boots for my son (11), who is going on a backpacking trip with Boy Scouts in a month, because they are waterproof, look good, and are well priced. I was happy when they arrived because they looked well made and sturdy. However, when my son tried them on, his big toes touched the front of the shoe. I ordered them in his correct size, 4.5. About 2 weeks ago, I bought him 2 pairs of sneakers in that size: Nike and Tony Hawk. We measured his feet at the time. Both pairs still fit fine, with room to spare in the front. So I know 4.5 is his correct size. I returned these and ordered a 1/2 size larger (size 5). They are perfect! My son really likes them, too. He wore them to a week of Boy Scout overnight camp (that included hiking), a week of day camp (that included LONG hikes), and on a short Boy Scout backpacking trip. The insides got wet when he walked in the river, but he told me that the water sloshed over the tops, so I do not know if they are really waterproof. You might want to order up a 1/2 size in these boots, as they seem to run small.

Close to orthotic grade

I am a physician during the day and an avid basketball player at night. I never use the stock insoles that come with my nike basketball shoes. They just won't cut it. The Sole inserts are the best non-prescription orthotic grade insoles your can buy over the counter (internet). These will mold to your feet after heating them in the oven for a few minutes. The arch supports and padding are fantastic. They add to your balance and help to align your back and prevent foot injuries. I have at least 10 pair of these and I love 'em. They are the best.

An excellent buy (realflex vs. free's)

Bought the Reebok Realflex at a local retail store and used them for about a weekend. They are light and comfortable and had very good cushioning(insoles) for the heel. I've used it with and without socks and there hasn't been an issue with chafing in the heel or anywhere else. The downside, if you're new to "barefoot" shoes or prosethically designed athletic shoes be prepared to feel the soreness in your ankles. On the first day of "breaking in" the shoes my ankles were killing me for two days. Just be sure to take your time with them.Athletic background: I've been cross training and weight lifting for about two years and have used the same athletic shoes since college (6 years ago). I just decided to buy these shoes because I recently learned the advantages of proper shoes for certain activitities and because I realized (the hard way) that my shoes lost most of it's treading/grip (it was practically bald). I don't run long distances (< 3 miles) so my opinion about these being good running shoes might be partial; however, I know a thing or two about what's good for your body ;)Realflex vs. Nike Free's: When I decided to invest in better athletics shoes I simply narrowed it down to these two shoes simply based on popularity, reviews, versatility, and friends' opinions. I also didn't want to spend more that a Benjamin on REALLY good and properly fitting running shoes (Asics, Saucony, New Balance, etc.) because I don't run much. I tried both shoes on and hopped, skipped, walked, and jogged around the store on two different ocassions with two different friends and two different sales associates (for opinions) before purchasing one (a bit OCD? yes). The issue I had with the Nike Free's was the form it MADE you run. I underpronate as a runner, a little of a heel striker, and I have medium/low arch height. The Frees' insole's had supportive cushioning at the heel but close to none at the ball of the foot. I suppose to promote proper running on the ball of your foot with a mid foot strike in your run, but forcing a change in one's form can be costly to the joints, muscles, foot, and can lead to serious injury. The Reebok Realflex has very equal and supportive cushioning throughtout the sole of with more than enough arch support, which I feel is more versatile. The Realflex can accomodate people who overpronate or underpronate in their stride because the sole is designed to move "naturally" with whoever uses it. On the same note, the Nike Free's sole wedges out wider than the shoe or the footprint is wider than the actual width of the shoe; in other words, the sole is shaped like a trapezoid (I'm hoping this is understood) which again makes it hard for someone like me who underpronates to run the way I do, "naturally". The Realflexs' sole isn't shaped like that (looks a bit convexed) and accomodates my natural stride. Lastly, the sole grip on the Realflex is actually better/stronger than the Nike Free's (this I tested at the store both times with the sales associates there to justify). The great grip on the Realflex is advantageous for tennis, racket ball, or running "suicides" on the bball court (which I hate, but is great cardio).Hope this helps! Happy shopping ;)
