I haven't read any reviews of 759, but when I tried the shoes, i was so light, for something that is "cushioned". I haven't tried breaking it in, since I will be running in a half-marathon this weekend. But it would be great to run in these by February's end where I will be running another half-marathon.<br /><br />Thanks for the review, and I can't wait to run on those 759s!Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768264404978071058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-49141276614197358622010-08-20T13:19:42.107-04:002010-08-20T13:19:42.107-04:00I liked them to.

I can also get a little placebo-ish with certain stuff like my shoes or energy products.

Injuries can stem from a variety of things...too much too soon (speed or distance), muscle imbalances (dominate quads and weakers hamstrings/glutes), weak core, etc. Sometimes you have to use process of elimination to narrow it down. Wish you were closer to Gboro, be cool to do a fitness assessment on you and get some baseline info.

Stuck in a cycle of injuries, and wondering if my shoes might be a contributing factor. Think I'll try and find these locally and see how they feel on my feet.

My feet have very very little padding and one foot gives me problems with Morton's Neuroma (bone hits a nerve between toes) without wearing an orthodic. So, I have to go with the cushioned shoes. Envy you guys that can wear such lightweight shoes.RunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-25260417632329328432010-06-24T22:45:31.293-04:002010-06-24T22:45:31.293-04:00I do barefoot run and train in Vibrams.

I have lighter shoes too and they're great, but they don't have cushion this one does. Cushioned shoes are usually a lot heavier. So I was really pleased to find these.RunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-83396016800125595312010-06-24T22:07:53.222-04:002010-06-24T22:07:53.222-04:0011ounces?
