I'm in pretty serious need of some new running sneakers, something I noticed yesterday as a small patch of the sole flapped against the spinning treadmill belt. Filt-filt-filt-filt-filt-filt ... and so it went for about 30 minutes, the redundancy no doubt causing a woman running nearby to wish for my early death.

As I left the gym, I happened to grab a copy of Metro Sports New York magazine, one of those freebie publications health clubs usually keep in towering stacks right by the exit. Serendipitously, there was an extensive article inside featuring a comprehensive review of what the author considers the best running shoes for Fall. Here, a quick breakdown of his top nine, in no particular order:

• Addidas Supernova Sequence
• Avia Avi-Lite Guide
• Asics GEL Nimbus 10
• Brooks Trance 8
• New Balance 1224
• Reebok Premier Verona KFS
• Saucony ProGrid Ride
• Mizuno Wave Alchemy 8
• Nike Lunar Trainer
  

Now all I need to do is narrow down my selection to one of these choices. Any suggestions?

I don't know about you, but I love taking a run on a drizzly day. I love the water hitting my face, I love the smell of the rain, and I love the fact that it's usually a bit cooler. What I don't love is wet feet.

New Balance has come out with a running shoe made of Gore Tex, so it's totally waterproof. The sole is rugged and looks like it would grip really well, even on wet, slippery, uneven terrain, which is great because they have the shock absorbency to handle a trail run. Plus, since it's Gore Tex, you can get them as dirty as you want and they should be a breeze to clean.

Men's (orange) and women's (blue) New Balance 1110 are currently on sale at New Balance North Shore for $99.99.

I have a few new pairs of sneakers that very rarely see the light of day, chiefly because I almost always wear my extremely old pair of New Balance. There's just something about the newer sneakers that doesn't feel right, whereas my old reliable pair seem to fit me like a glove ... er, I mean a shoe.

Wearing shoes that aren't the right fit for you can cause knee pain, back ache, and can even cause permanent joint damage. Besides your level of comfort, you can also tell if a shoe isn't right for you by keeping track of how long it takes you to wear through them. If you go through them quickly, it's likely because it's not right for your foot type. If it remains in good shape over the long haul, then the shoe fits -- so wear it.
