re: tOfficial Running Shoe Thread

Has anyone used Run Wild in Alexandria or Shreveport or Fleet Feet in Monroe?

I will start by saying I am relatively new to running. Was over 300 lbs a year ago. A lot of dietary changes plus working my way up to walking around 16-20 miles on a given day on top of weightlifting. Sitting around 195 now. But I have been working on running. All I have are ultraboost which I mainly have because I wear them for everything as the cushioning is comfortable as a pharmacist on my feet 10-12 hours per day.

I have been slowly working my way up to running my first 5k at the end of April. I can run for about 9 minutes without having to slow to a walk for a few minutes and picking it back up. Have been looking for something a little more comfortable for actual running vs everyday wear. I found this thread and curious about the locations in Monroe, Alexandria, and Shreveport as they are the closest to me.
