Since I've been running in my current shoes for quite awhile now, we took a ride over to Fit-2-Run to try on some new pairs.
I had my arch tested, ran on the treadmill, and tried on a few of the popular brands, but in the end, Asics still won my heart for comfort...
I ended up with the new Asics GT-2170.
I went with a darker shoe than I normally go for; that also has bright wild colors. I figure 1/2 marathon training is out of my comfort zone, so I went with something different!
It was until I got home and took a better look at the shoes that I realized the numbers...2170...217...MY BIRTHDAY NUMBERS! That's a good sign in my book!
Abbey agrees.

I read somewhere it takes a day for shoes to recover for proper support. Couldn't tell from your post but would caution against using the same pair for work AND training. You probably already knew that but just thought I'd through it out there :)
Oh, I definitely don't wear my same shoes to work and for running! Just the same brand:) I would never bring my nice, new shoes into the nasty MRSA, CDIFF, VRE hospital
Ewww! Haha, totally would never take my nursing shoes home with me anymore! They stay at work! I wear Birkenstocks at work. LOVE them! I use to wear running shoes for work, but found my body just couldn't do it. Running shoes are meant for running, and though we always seem to be 'running' at work as nurses, it's not the same. Hard on the body! Birkenstocks have made my feet and my back happier!:)
P.S. I also wear Asics for running! Nimbus 12. LOVE the gel! :)
I wear Gel Nimbus 13's and love them! I wear them to work... i'm not in a hospital... i work in a doctor's office. I need to get some better shoes for work! It's been decided.
