Running Shoes, Gear Reviews, and Posts on the Science of the Sport
My racks at home are full, and the images below don’t include the full box ready to go to Soles 4 Souls, the rack in my bedroom closet, or the bookcase-full that I brought to work as demos. Yes, I have a problem, and that Brooks Green Silence seems to be missing its partner…

Ha! George – was about to say the same thing! Item no.1 for the defence… How do you choose what to wear on a non-review run Pete? Great collection.
A have a few favorites :)

Fantastic! Now I have some pictorial evidence that my shoe collection is completely reasonable.
You’re welcome!
no Nikes? At least no Nike Frees.
Top shelf – Nike Free 5.0 and Lunaracer 3

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I was feeling guilty about having bought a pair of running shoes this weekend when I did not actually NEED another pair. OK, almost guilty.
Guilt’s all gone now. :-)
You are very welcome :)

Wow, Imelda. I mean, wow.
I think you’re normal. Everyone else is insane.
I’m in the wrong line of work.
It appears you are missing a Green Silence. It looks like the GS is the only pair with just 1 shoe. You better hunt that baby down!! (I just ran a half marathon PR this past weekend in that fantastic shoe)
I noticed that too. Don’t fear, its partner was on the floor :)

Phew!! Thanks goodness, I was starting to stress! Ha ha, I guess I skipped straight to the photo and didn’t even read your posting text where you already mentioned about the GS. Bad on me for skipping right to the juicy photos!
Is it a bad sign that I can identify the brand and model of most of those shoes by just looking at them from behind?? :-)
During my time in running shoe retail, I could do the same. Now that I’ve started keeping up with running blogs, I’ve gotten good at it again.
Now I don’t feel so bad.
Hey, wouldn’t it be fun to organize these by color?
ROYGBIV by shelf?

Yeah, that sounds sensible!
The guy at my local running shop tried to convince me not to stock up on my favorite shoe a few years back, because he claimed the rubber would break down over time, in storage – in new unused shoes! Crazy? If not, I suppose much of your collection is “worn out”!
Damn. Guess I should just throw them all away and start over!

Of course you have a problem…choosing which pair of shoes to put on every time you go out for a run. If I were in your position, it would take me 2-3 hours just to pick out the pair of shoes to wear on a 1 hour run.
I’m sure you prioritize in large part based on shoes you need to review, but could you share anything further as to your decision process to actually select which pair to wear when you head out?
This definitely should have been a contest – how many can you identify!
So the Go bionic 2’s are the red ones on the two different shelves?
Damn……why can’t you be a size 13!
There’s no way you can even run enough to use all these shoes.
True, very true. Some are one and done development samples, and for reviews I shoot for 20-30 miles in order to handle the volume of footwear. Can usually peg a shoe in one run, but sometimes things change so I try to avoid that for the reviews on the blog.
