Thanks Luckylegs, must have a look - especially at the $170 'training tools'.

I thought my NB 900's were 'Performance' shoes!? My current fav - the Brooks 04 Radius doesn't get a mention.

Do they say what is the (best fitting) shoe to comfortably suit my wide feet, not injure them and not feel like large lumps of eva, rubber, plastic and synthetics?
