    1. Can anyone recommend me some good long distance running shoes? The ones I have are wearing out the more I run.
    2. What shoes do you recommend me?
    3. Just got some saucony sprinting spikes, they feel too narrow for my feet. My feet tend to be wider, is there anything i need to do about that? Should I get a half size up, or anything you recommend? Also do Adidas spikes not come with pins?
