Marathon shoes help!

[Deleted User][Deleted User]
in General running
Hi I'm running my first marathon in may in Edinburgh, 7 weeks to go, and I'm looking for some new shoes to run in. I currently run in asics kayano 18's which I find ok. I roll out and therefore run on the outer sides of my feet. (? Under pronate) I thought about zoots but many of their reviews say not for runners who run a marathon outside 2:45 , and I hope for maybe just short of 4. Thanks

    Why not just get more of the same?

    This close to the marathon, why change? Shoes over 26 miles you have to trust them.



    I got some saucony progrid 5s at Xmas, not 100% happy with them, a bit tough on knees, and a few more aches, went back to the 3s I had last year. picked up 2 new pairs at 25 quid for safety. Friend similar with her Xmas shoes new models.



    Better the devil you know?



    Any new pair of shoes won't magically trim 5-10 minutes off your time either. There are no magic shoes,

    The Kayano is for over-pronation. Only the wear pattern on the forefoot will tell you if this is what you do. The Zoot shoes would be a massive change for you so a major risk. I really would recommend going to an independent running specialist and getting this sorted soon. Ultimately buy shoes on fit and feel and not a friend's recommendation or magazine review. Good luck with your marathon.
