My new shoes: Saucony Hattoris. The Kinvaras were okay but just a touch too heavy and restrictive. I still rely primarily on the Nike Streak 3s and the heavenly Adidas Adizero PRs. My first impression is that these are the shoes the Nike Free should have been. On the other hand, using the Hattoris on concrete is out of the question. Ouchie. Even asphalt feels significantly harder, at least compared to running in the Streaks. Previously the Kinvaras were my heavyweights and the Streaks were my 'tweener' shoes; my intention was to bump the Streaks up to heavyweights so I could use the Hattoris as tweeners (PRs still holding the ultralight position). The only problem so far is that there isn't much difference between these and the PRs. And since the PRs are lighter, why would I ever wear the Hattoris? Hmm...
btw -- by tweener I mean: Too heavy for 5Ks but not enough cushion for regular distance sessions.
I miss the days when I had spikes for racing/speedwork and lightly cushioned trainers for everything else.
