Nike Legend React

I injured my right root and my Adidas Solar Boost were not able to protect my feet well enough. It was an injury of the forefoot, and seemed more forward than Plantar fasciitis usually is. 

Neither pair of my Adidas Solar Boost are worn out, but they couldn't protect my foot, ease the pain in each step, or promote recovery as well as some old pairs that were collecting dust in the garage. 

I started using my 2011 Nike LunarGlide 3's because even though they were worn out, the high arch support and large mass of foam felt good on my injured feet. The 2011 LunarGlides did not last long in running service because I thought the foam was too soft and after more running it just provided less and less support. On the other hand, they felt best with my current injury. 

I did a little research and found that Nike had introduced a new ReAct, and is promoted as a good shoe for injury recovery. I went to my local store, and while they had the new ReAct 3, they didn't have it in my size. I wanted a shoe today instead of ordering online, and so I got the React 2 and in black with odd green highlights. 

The ReAct in size eleven is 341 grams, which makes it among my heaviest shoes, which makes sense because it has a giant chunk of foam in the sole.
