I mostly run in the Brooks Ghost, and overall I really like it, but I do feel like their might be a little too much room for the front of my foot to move around. This sounds like a perfect excuse to pick out some new running shoes! :)Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861238621971184676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-54090504882792016942016-06-18T19:21:58.578-07:002016-06-18T19:21:58.578-07:00It's so frustrating when the little changes be...It's so frustrating when the little changes begin to add up and then the shoe eventually becomes unwearable.

I'm a Brooks girl through and through, but I've gone from the Ravenna to the Ghost to now the Transcend as they've made subtle changes to the way it's structured internally. I have a neuroma on my right sole that needs room - I loved the Ravenna most in terms of feel underneath but then it became too narrow. Then I was with the Ghost for possibly three iterations until they tweaked it in some way and it put pressure on my neuroma in exactly the wrong spot. What to do, what to do... it makes me dread show shopping, especially as I don't get bothered until a couple of miles in, so it can feel great in the store but then totally not work for me.<br /><br />Good luck!Annie Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734321180522990210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-57563017198539858212016-06-18T11:43:45.696-07:002016-06-18T11:43:45.696-07:00I'm a Brooks Transcend girl, I'm on my 2nd...I'm a Brooks Transcend girl, I'm on my 2nd pair and I Love them, but yes, I agree.

Suddenly my feet seem to be a bit of an issue, with an achy ankle and somehow sometimes my feet just feel tight, which is a new deveopment.<br /><br />I like low drop shoes, but I'm beginning to wonder if my feet no longer tolerate them.

I like the Transcend colors but I prefer a more responsive shoe- I'm very partial to my Mizuno Wave Creation's. I felt the same pain you did when they changed up everything in the Prophecy's- it was like my shoe betrayed me! Now I'm in the Saucony Triumph's and the Ride's. I love both so far, but still can't get away from the Mizuno's! Sigh. If only they didn't have SO MANY OPTIONS for shoes!
