_ciaran May 2012 5:37pm, 11 May 2012 First-time poster!!	Quote Pin _ciaran I have three pairs, all from sports shoes, love them for speed sessions and race up to 10k. Easy to get on with no blisters and great support like been very light.
Keefley May 2012 12:24pm, 12 May 2012 468 posts	Quote Pin Keefley Just bought a pair from Sportshoes. Feel incredibly light compared to my lunarglides. The Sportshoes shop in Bradford is closing down in July, according to the chap who served me

Keefley May 2012 2:54pm, 12 May 2012 469 posts	Quote Pin Keefley I assume so. I filled in a card with my details for their mailing list (and got a free pair of socks for doing so :))

Bensey May 2012 5:14pm, 13 May 2012 85 posts	Quote Pin Bensey I had a pair of Brooks Green Silence while I transitioned from cushioned shoes to minimal shoes. I quite liked them but only ran 195km -- including my first marathon --- in them. I bought some NB Minimus MT10s shortly afterwards and have been running in Minimus shoes ever since. The Brooks were a good transition shoe but ultimately too cushioned for a mid/forefoot strike.
