 We remain on a quest you to we remain on a quest to figure out this planter fasciitis Thus far the peg 35s the turbos and the vapor fly 4% out of these three shoes the turbos seem to be Making my planter hurt the most. I don't know what that's about quite yet I need to keep running in the shoe to figure out why that might be happening bottom line. I'm interested in New balance. That's right. The new balance beacon So I'm on a quest again to figure this out and I'm not gonna, you know, give in to the pain In fact in fact and this blows my mind. I'm not a scientist I'm not a doctor but all the research out there You can read it on read up on it online and and I ain't even in person when I've met with doctors way back about the planter fascia Essentially the more stretching the more massaging the more icing is what I do But those three things actually makes it feel better and you would think that complete rest would make the planter Fasciitis go away and I think that's true to a certain extent But in my experience the more aggressive you are with massaging and stretching the better it feels And it might take a couple days, but today my planter feels amazing and So but I know it I know I'm not out of the woods by any means But it just is amazing how the more aggressive you are the better it feels All right, I digress we're gonna go for a quick jog in the peg 35s see how it feels and then yes continue the quest for some Beacons some beacons is a shoe other than Nike. I love Nike, but let's be honest. There's other great shoes out there. So Just seen if they have my size seen if they have my size but still on hold still on hold and listen folks I fully realize that no shoe no running shoe is gonna cure my planter fasciitis. It could help though And so I'm intrigued by this new balance beacon because partially because of the weight I believe I have to double-check this. It's just under eight ounces, which is very lightweight So I'm excited about that and it's got a lot of cushion a lot of foam So this will definitely be a recovery shoe, but I fully realized like no shoes gonna cure your planter fasciitis It's the maintenance of your body right taking it's like taking care of your car You've got to change the oil. It's like taking care of your your lawn. You got to mow your yard You know all that good you've got to take care of things in this world Including our bodies so Okay, all right. Well, I might I might come by and you're you're actually inside the mall We'll see women's might have to do a women's. That's okay. You know, I'm not afraid of ladies colors You know, it's it's all about the fit and the feel colors don't really matter My grandmother always says you got to take care of your feet You got to take that's the foundation of everything foundation of your your legs Which is the foundation of your torso, which is the foundation of your head So we got to take care of our feet keep our head on straight for anyone That's a new balance fan and you live in Denver just so you know There is a new balance store meaning they only sell new balance products in Cherry Creek And if you don't live in Denver, you know or sorry, you don't know that Cherry Creek's a very fancy part of town So I'm impressed like they got a a new balance store in Cherry Creek. Just putting that out there All right, let's go see what's see what we can find Yeah, I can't believe I never knew the store was here. Oh, really? Is it has it been here a while? Okay Watching your foot showing pressure points also shows then what arch looks like and then of course Standing versus running can be a little bit different. So after this after we take a look at this I'll have you kind of walk a little bit. Yeah, the better idea for what's going on But looking here and follow your foot. Yeah and get for one calluses in that area, okay? But then also it can move that pressure point in so some degree of Yeah, don't hurt your feet Through your arch to kind of help that arch but then still has some degree of movement So it's nothing too firm works really naturally with your foot Wow, it's a little bit of softness, but pretty much just kind of stabilizing your foot in the shoes like I said of a softer upper with it, so So that's the one we'll kind of make sure that we have the full nail length and then just making sure we don't get any movement on this spot Yeah Thank you so much. Yeah, I'll give you a high five for the for the video. Thank you Appreciate it and yeah, I just love this place. I'll give you guys a big shout out and I'll say I truly will send my buddy in so I've been shopping in running shoe stores for 20 years since I was in middle school and that was the best customer service and in-store experience ever like she just took the time to like figure out what my foot was like and measure it and Just took so much. I mean she brought out like ten different pairs of shoes. Anyway amazing I would strongly strongly recommend the Cherry Creek store the New Balance Cherry Creek store Crazy crazy. All right, let's go I Don't mind the baby blue. I don't mind the baby blue just reminds me of Michael This is for you Damien Oh There's one there's one I gotta get it That was good. All right first run in the baby blue New Balance Beacons I'll just give you one little tidbit of how they feel. It's like a slipper I would put this running shoe in these slipper categories. So there's a lot of other ones There's leaves blowing everywhere and there's a lot of other shoes out there that kind of fit in this category All right, stay tuned going back to the house Gotta regenerate and then I'll give you my full thought and analysis on these shoes after the first run Intriguing very intriguing. Did I make the right choice as a runner? Oh, he's a predicament Laundry done snack time and if you're wondering why it's so quiet at the house The monkeys are with Nana. Thank you Nana for watching those little monkeys a.k.a. Love you, Joseph and Seth. All right One of my favorite snacks. What are my favorite snacks? Happy Friday? Actually, you're probably watching this Saturday morning because that's what I'm gonna publish it But cheers to Friday. Whoo. What a week. What a week YouTube. All right folks I just want to be up front with you right from the beginning. This is not necessarily a running channel Hold on and this is not a Nike running shoe channel. Just want to make that clear This is a life channel that happens to love Of running does that make sense? I love running. I love life. I love running So I want to share my passion for running with you, but I just want to put that out there like, you know There's a lot of new subscribers. Welcome. Thank you. Thank you for commenting. Thank you for subscribing But I just want to be upfront and transparent with all of you guys This is a life channel that loves running and yes, frankly is falling in love with a new balance Beacon shoes Wow, I don't even know where to begin. This is different different than the Nikes, but has some similarities Let me explain See what I mean by a life channel look who just arrived they just got home Say hi to YouTube Michael. I'm wearing baby blue shoes for you. Just had a shit. Just had a show I'm off for a second. All right. I'll be right back. Hold on Okay, I'm back guys. This is not my full review Obviously of this shoe the new balance beacon because I've only worn it once come back Maybe in my two weeks and I'll give you my full thoughts after I've put Probably about 40 to 50 miles in it I have a pretty good sense of this shoe after 40 to 50 miles Let me begin with the first impression of the flexibility in this shoe. All right. Look at this Whoa Whoa, you see that? All right, you see it's flexible So this is very different than very different than the Nike vapor fly 4% fly net Which I'm gonna be wearing tomorrow in the half marathon time trial come back for that video So see this it's so stiff so stiff very stiff shoe and this guy is Flexible I don't want to bend it too much. Why did I buy this shoe? Basically, this shoe will not heal my planter fasciitis. I know it will not heal it. However I'm hoping and I believe it will happen that this shoe will alleviate Some of the pain as I work through the planter fasciitis because of the fresh foam that is advertised about this shoe and in the store Thank you again to Taylor at the new balance store You were amazing for walking me through step-by-step to teach me about new balance shoes and Unknown fact that you may not know new balance did not start as a running shoe company or a shoe company new balance started as a Insert company meaning they they made Inserts for shoes to help people feel more comfortable comfortable back in 1906 how crazy is that like they were way ahead of the curve You know way way ahead of the curve so kudos to to new balance I bought this shoe to help alleviate the pain of the planter fasciitis at this point The Nike Pegasus turbo is actually causing me a little more pain I don't know why yet. I need to wear it more to figure that out But this shoe felt amazing in the store and on my first run today through the streets of Denver And the crunchy leaves that are falling. Isn't it so fun to run through leaves? Basically, it felt great It was alleviating the pain a little bit not entirely but a little bit because of the cushion the fresh foam That is on the bottom I would put this this shoe also in the category of a rocker Meaning it would be really it's a really great shoe if you are a heel striker So you land first on your heel and then roll to your toe So heel to toe heel to toe and it has that rocker feel kind of like a hoca You know a hoca boasts the Technology of having a rocker built into its shoe I would put this shoe kind of in that same category and it feels great remember we learned in yesterday's vlog about uppers on shoes so the upper is the Top of the shoe which wraps around the top of your foot and it's where the laces are at and I would definitely describe this upper on the new balance beacon as Being incredibly comfortable in fact more comfortable than the Nike vapor fly 4% flying it This you know I would guess that the flying it on the Nike is a little more lightweight But we're talking incredible comfort and that's why I keep bringing up That this shoe would fall into the category of like slipping on a slipper But you still get enough support because the fresh foam is thick enough on the bottom Through the midsole does that make sense? What am I gonna use the new balance beacon for? Recovery I don't think I'll run more than eight miles in this shoe maybe ten However, they are also advertising on new balance's website that you could run do long runs in this shoe I'm not sure if I'm quite ready for that, but I will definitely be using this shoe For recovery the fresh foam to get a little bit of cushion to get a little bit of recovery from that cushion Alleviate from the pounding that is going to be the goal of using this shoe as far as the outsole is concerned The bottom of the shoe. It's definitely it has a little bit of tread, but it's not made for trails It's a it's an urban environment shoe made for the roads made for concrete However, I think new balance was pretty smart because they had fresh foam all Around the bottom here, but in certain areas that receive more pounding when you're running particularly your inside big toe and the inside Metatarsal on your foot so right right through here. This is rubber. You can see the different color. This is a harder rubber So rubber that will withstand more mileage and more pounding and more Kicking around, you know in those urban environments, and there's also some harder rubber down here on the heel Right through here so I think that is actually a pretty smart move by new balance to keep the shoe really lightweight while still maintaining some Toughness to the outsole so that you can get more mileage out of this out of this shoe overall My first impressions of the new balance beacon is very good. I'm excited about its rocker feel but not quite as much of a rocker as as hoca and Obviously the fresh foam is I believe it's gonna help alleviate the pain of the planter as I work through this injury And if you suffer from PF planter fasciitis, let me know down in the comments I'd love to help help you and through my experience with the injury I think I can give you a lot of insights as to what has worked and what has not worked And lastly, I believe this shoe will last. I don't know I think it'll I think I'll get a good 200 to 250 miles out of this shoe So that's pretty good for a recovery shoe that has a very soft outsole overall And yes, the key word of today is fresh, of course comment down below if you've made it this far in the video Thank you. Let me know that you made it this far by commenting down below with the word fresh and I'll keep you posted in maybe 10 days to two weeks I'll let you know how this shoe is holding up and what I think with a full review of the performance from the The upper to the midsole to the outsole.
