New shoes

As a reward for my run today, I got some new shoes. Well, as a reward and because the others have a few hundred miles on them by now! I've never had Saucony's before, but these just felt perfect the minute I put them on. I have to tell you, I have feet/running shoe issues -- the last time I bought a pair of shoes, I bought/tried out at home on the treadmill/returned SIX pairs. I sprained my ankle back in college and then had a bone scan done about 5 years later... all the little bones on the outside of my right foot are shattered, so I can't wear motion control/stability shoes. When I try on cushioning shoes, either the top or bottom of my feet (sometimes both, just for added fun!) go numb, no matter how loose the laces are. I really find that the most comfortable shoes are the lightweight racing ones, but those aren't good for any kind of distance running -- which really makes the search a tedious one. But I found these after trying on just 4 pairs. Score!

Hey E -
How are the new shoes? Is it like running on cloud puffs?
