Shoes!

Shoes and more shoes...it's a recurring problem; trying to find the "right" ones for racewalking and marathons. I have pretty much figured out that the NB 111's are fine for the short courses, up to 10K but not much beyond that. They are definitely lighweight...and ugly.

Now I'm trying out a pair of NB 1060's and they seem to be pretty good for the long haul. Heavy, at almost 11 oz. But very "springy". The only problem so far is that the shoe rises at the heel more than the 111's, almost 1" more and that has caused some blisters on the Achilles area.

I'm still looking for the perfect shoe. Where is it?
