[pct-l] Shoe recommendation

[Thomas Jamrog]

I have tore the crap out of soles on heavy duty  New Balance shoes in 2 weeks, have had better luck with Inov-8's ( have tried 5 different models), but now favor  the Asics Gel Trabucos,  due to the ample sizing and ample forefoot support.  I weigh 215 and am really rough on shoes.
