Can I recommend that you look in to some Merrells? I used to not be able to walk around much at all because my bio-mechanics were off or something. But I’ve bought one pair of them and have since been able to stroll around like it’s part of my every day.

I have the same shiny silver shoes with glaring PINK! (i loathe pink) swoosh emblem, and I’m always self-conscious when I wear them. They were cheap, so I buckled and settled. Don’t settle. You’ll hate each other and start sleeping in separate beds.

Hi, FP.

I am proud/ashamed to say that I purchased my 1st pair of sensible shoes last week. I want to say I feel all grown up but honestly, I feel like it’s a sign I’m just gett’n old.

If you return the useless, feel-no-good Nikes (in my opinion, they are blinding white), you might want to check out Merrell’s: http://www.onlineshoes.com/merrell-b_id9?adtrack=gaw&term=merrell

Another option is the New Balance Store on Clayton Road (by the Esquire). They have certified pedorthists on staff who are available to make sure you’ve got the right fit.

Good luck! Keep your feet happy!

I have no idea on earth how much twenty dollars is, but surely it can buy you some kind of alcohol.

No! Take them back and get the ones you want somewhere else!

I have nothing funny to add to this comment.

It’s a terrible thing when good shoes go bad. My Asics keep sneaking off behind the bleachers to smoke joints with the stoner kids, but damned if they don’t perform spectacularly when I really need them to. If only they’d quit leaving Twinkie wrappers in my sock drawer.

This is all because you’re a soccer mom now, yes?

Can we see the rest of your superhero outfit?

Do you know about Asics? Do you know about The Running Center of St. Louis? It’s a shoe store on Manchester, where they assess your stance/gait/stride and fit you to THE PERFECT SHOE and they sell New Balance and Asics!
