Couldn't have happened to a cheaper person. My wife was asking me for running shoe recomendations, and I unknowingly kept referring her $60 shoes. Said she was going to go ask someone else who wasn't so tight.

After my wife had major reconstruction on her feet I went and researched the hell out of shoes for her pronation and foot shape post surgery. I found models of Brooks, Asics, Mizuno that were tailor made for what she was dealing with. I told her don’t worry about the cost, I want her to feel confident getting back out there. I lined them all up at Academy and our other shoes store. She went through all of them and said meh.

Finally I said “look there’s a Saucony that I got for $30 once because I forgot running shoes when traveling once and they annoyed me because they were made for over pronation.”

She bought those and said it’s the best her foot has ever felt.
