New shoes... again.

The Ghosts 6 by Brooks are NOT for me. $109.95 and they didn't turn water into wine. Okay, so that's not why I really returned them. They actually are a men's shoe and the front of the shoe was way to wide for my foot. Had my running on the side of my foot even more as my feet slid to the sides of the shoe. 

So instead, I headed over to Shoe Carnival in Asheville and got a pair of K-Swiss Tubes 100. These were the only shoes I have ever purchased that actually fit my arch and don't hurt my knees when I run. The last pair I had were eaten by my puppy Piper. 

The exact pair of Women's K-Swiss Tubes 100 I bought :) 

Luckily, Shoe Carnival was having a sale buy one, get one half off on any shoes in the store. So for $85 I got the K-Swiss Tubes 100 as well as a new pair of Converse. Sounds like a great deal, two pairs of shoes for less than the price of the original pair I bought. 

Yesterday I got to try them out at the gym and felt absolutely no pain in my knees or ankles. I'm super excited to have these shoes again and I can't wait to get back outside on the greenway to keep training for this 5k!
