In a way, I'm lucky not to be sucked into that sort of mindset since I just started running and went out to buy a pair of new shoes which I felt comfortable in (yeah, I'll try and write a review on it soon). I'm lucky in the sense that I had no idea what I am looking for and the store clerk was not overly convincing in selling me any of their "running shoes". I stumbled upon my current pair literally when I was walking out of the store.
I WILL say that I understand what Pete Larson meaning on the following:
" I would also agree that comfort is hard to define, but for me I think it’s mainly just how good a shoe is at letting my body do its thing without getting in the way – a comfortable shoe is one that I barely even notice when I run."
I've recently had that experience in another pair of shoes. While trying it on in the store, there's always a niggling reminder of the shoe due to the presence of a pretty high arch curve on the inside shoes. I was a little worried that it will affect me on my run. I was however put at ease after running in the shoes for a bit as I totally forgot about the shoes and was enjoying myself a lot. I'll talk more about this shoes when I put more mileage in it. In the meantime, enjoy the article.
