Since I’m starting exercising seriously and I don’t know how old my tennis shoes are, I figured it was time to get some new ones. On the recommendation of my trainer, I went to a shoe store in Redmond Town Center called Foot Zone. They were great. Definitely best sneaker buying experience I’ve ever had.

The guy at the store observed the way I walked in my socks and said I "over pronated" or something like that. So he brought out a few recommended shoes to give me "motion control" and I walked on their treadmill a while in them. Eventually, I decided on the Brooks Beast.

I’m just about to meet Dave at the club to try them out. I expect I’ll be running marathons in no time now that I’m using the most advanced motion control shoes on the market.
