If you find a model of shoe that works well for you, and it may take several attempts to find the right ones, I have some advice for you. Buy about 5 or 6 pairs of them so you will have a reliable replacement as you wear them out. Invariably, when I find a model that works well they change it the next year, often very little, but sometimes even that little bit proves to be the downfall of that shoe for me.

been there. I generally buy one pair run in it for a while and if it works beg my wife for forgiveness when 4 more pairs show up and she sees the bill

"on your Left"

It's just that simple. I use two different pairs of shoes, so that when one gets discontinued, I'll still have another to run in, but I find that even though they are both of the structured/cushioning, mild stability variety, it takes me a couple of runs to get used to the difference when I change shoes, and that I am faster in one shoe, but more comfortable in the other(And yes, I know that makes no sense.)

I'd take the advice of the other two posters; if you really like the new shoe, buy a few pairs. Next March when you find that your model has been completely changed, you'll be ever so thankful that you did.

as the other posts bare out it is that simple.

my experience is a lucky one, Nike Air Pegasus. The longest running model or running shoes ever. I won a free pair in a post race drawing and left my New Balance in 1988. I've tried others and luckily Nike continues to produce this shoe. BUT, the 2002 (or 03) model has something changed, I was running about three months in them before I realized it wasn't the strength training or the bike milage or the dehydration or... etc. The new models would cause my calves to stiffen up on every run... weird. So now I'm running in a 2000 model with about 500 or more miles on them they are so beat up and worn but they work.... and I just found on niketown.com that the 2000 model is back!!!! life is good.
