RUNNING shoes! they're supposed to get dirty. you want them to get dirty, then you're doin' your job. : ) i got mine at a sporting good store at the mall for 60$ and they're perfect. light weight is key. good shock absorbing. and you can always break them in by walk/running first. just get rid of those 10 year old shoes!!!!! and if you feel guilty about it, there are places to donate your old tennis shoes and they make them into playgrounds and courts. just find a legitimate one. <BR/><BR/>CaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777806224673927191.post-53124644985272508772008-04-22T18:29:00.000-04:002008-04-22T18:29:00.000-04:00I am also a very bad girl.

It's been 2 months since then and I still haven't bought new ones and continue to work on my feel for many hours a day. Buying new running shoes is inexplicably hard for me. I can't buy them online because shoe size is so irregular. I have a conspiracy theory that tells me no one makes shoes that will feel comfortable without hurting me at some weird rub. Maybe that's why I gave up running a decade ago. I do have a vague recollection of some addidas trail runners that were dreamy...Lucy Goldwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116843532977058196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777806224673927191.post-21210241147122146542008-04-22T18:07:00.000-04:002008-04-22T18:07:00.000-04:00The scary thing about new shoes is that switching ...The scary thing about new shoes is that switching can injure you too! I suspect my Achilles thing was a result of strapping on a brand new pair of Nikes (i.e., going from running on the equivalent of Converse to properly padded soles) in addition to poor stretching. They're broken in now and I think they're fine, but you should probably go into an actual store, preferably a running store (like a Road Runner Sports or something). Some stores will put you on a treadmill for a couple minutes, videotape your gait and recommend a shoe based on how you run.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I offer this advice having taken none of it as I bought my shoes online. But see above re the Achilles injury.Magdalenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214230549941657257noreply@blogger.com
