It's time.

Cheap or expensive, I'd love to hear what you like.

If you're willing, you can help with a running shoe review I'm setting up for this fall & coming spring. What size do you wear?

I run mostly on gravel and asphalt trails pushing a jogging stroller.

Being similarly challenged, you just made me wonder why none of the shoe companies have come out with a stroller-pushing shoe. I'm sure with a little effort they could come up with an argument that there are specific mechanical issues involved that really need their expertise to overcome.

Is this in jest? If not so, what would be unique about such a shoe?

Is this in jest?

Only partially. Remember when there were maybe 3 or 4 shoe models per manufacturer? Now they've managed to segment the market so there's a shoe for almost any purpose you could think of (and some you probably would never have imagined). So I'm pondering the possibilities of a potential marketing niche which has not yet been explored by the shoe companies.

what would be unique about such a shoe?

I find that my gait is different when I'm pushing the stroller, usually it shortens my stride length - I don't think I run as efficiently, so maybe something to compensate for that. Traction can be something of an issue in mud or any other slippery conditions (I'm not allowed to mention ice ) - 20lbs of stroller plus 25lbs or so of WeeVee breaking away on a turn takes some wrestling back into line, so maybe a more aggressive tread pattern than usual.

I was also thinking maybe a tie-in with a stroller manufacturer - think Nike BoB or something along those lines.

I'd love to be part of the test. Size 10 1/2.
That would be cool.

If you're running on mostly gravel or asphalt, I would stick with a comfortable road shoe. I like the ASICS 2200 series. I'm also fond of Brooks shoes--they are very comfortable. Brooks seems to do very well in combining both support and forgiveness--not too much of either. I really would not use a trail shoe unless you are going to be getting onto more rocky/technical terrain. In that case, I would try the Montrail Vitesse. I will not wear anything else on technical trails.
