During the year, I wore Brooks : Beast shoes. They were comfortable and held my orthodics but needed new : them. The shoe is till ok but, once more, new heels at 250 miles. Brooks : (and Roadrunner) recommend these as being the shoe for the heavier runner : and I would agree although they are a tad pricey. : As I have lost weight and have alway liked Addidas, I now am running : in a pair of Addidas Revenge. Not enough miles yet for substantive comments : but they sure are comfortable. I’ll post a wear report later. : Just for the record, all my runs were on paved roads. : Regards, : Jim Deck I weigh about 197lbs and find the Nike Air Structure II to be very comfortable and have prevented me from injurying myself. brad
