Shoes (again) Reviews?

Hello everyone,
Long time lurker infrequent poster. I have been having some issues with my legs recently. One partner sugggested that it was from doing several games on concrete floor (field houses). He suggested that I replace my insoles with
a pair with more cushioning. This was done and seems to work. I have been wearing new balance 610's for 3 years. So I was wondering if anyone is wearing the Reebok low breezy's, and how is this shoe compared to others?
Thanks in advance

Depending on how mnay games you do, and how many pairs of shoes you rotate, that's too long. The midsoles will be shot, even though the uppers and lowers still look fine.

On the other, it's very dependent on your feet and your stride.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've worn.

40/year * 3 years = 120. That's about what I get out of mine. I replace the insoles about 1/2 way through. (and I rotate the shoes so I don't wear the same pair two assignments in a row.)

I have 3 pairs in rotation. I buy 1 new pair every year (unless something happens that I need more) and I change the insoles twice a season. This pattern has worked well for me.

I wish I could get my good ole Converse shoes again though. I loved them and they really outlasted anything I have found since.

I second the vote for the Nike Air Max's (I have the 360's) -- I'm running better and more comfortably than I ever have.
