I wanted to be just like Nick, so I bought a pair of Brooks Cascadia 4 shoes. :) He talked 'em up real good on his last run, and I know for a fact that Brooks makes a damn good shoe. I have +500 miles on my Cascadia 3's and I still where them on runs from time to time.
I actually went to FrontRunner last Friday and planned to purchase a pair of Vibram Five Finger shoes. However, they didn't have any of the new models in my size and I didn't like the way that the old models fit my foot. They had a stiff back on them and everytime I bent my foot, I felt it pressing against my Achilles. Therefore, I explored some other shoes and settled on the Cascadia 4's. I haven't yet ran in them, but hope to do so tomorrow. As soon as I put them on, they fit my feet perfectly. If they are anything like my Cascadia 3's, I'll have them for years and put hundreds of miles on them.
Good for you! I'm going to get a pair too.
