#218 How Would We Pick Our Running Shoes Today if We Weren't Doing Doctors of Running?

Update: 2024-11-20

Description

We talk a lot about how to find the right shoe for you, not a mythical "best" shoe. On this episode, Matt interviews Nathan and David on how they go about picking their shoe through a normal training week. They discuss upper fit and comfort, midsole composition & geometry, plates, and more. We hope this gives you a framework to find the best tools for your training!
