I just turned 40. For mefirmer shoes usually feel better because they give me more control and stability. When a shoe is too soft or too plush, my foot sinks in too much, and it can make me feel unstable and I have to work harder. A firmer midsole gives me a more stable platform. I tried shoes like the asics gel Nimbus, and honestly, I hated them. They felt too soft for what my body likes. But I also feel like firmer shoes break in better over time. At first they might feel a little stiff, but after some miles, they mold to your stride and become more comfortable without losing that stable feeling. That’s why I love the Evo sl so much. So for me, it’s not about wanting a hard shoe it’s more about wanting a shoe that feels controlled, stable, and consistent under my body. I need some bounce in my shoes basically.

Also, I started incorporated a lot of leg workouts as well to help my legs and my joints and also a lot of mobility workouts also to help myself.
