RUNNING SHOES LOVED AND LOST Oh, we’ve all thought about it. Don’t tell me you’ve never found your perfect running shoe only to have...

Guys! I finally got myself re-fitted for sneakers and it was WAY more involved than last time. A little background: I’ve been using the Brooks Ravenna 5 since October of 2013.
