Well, another AD has struck like a viper. I walk and jog nearly every day, sometimes through nearby parks and sometimes on our treadmill, and somehow I got interested in walking/training/running shoes. After doing some research and identifying brands and models of shoes that I wanted to try, I began to grab some of them in used form on eBay, and now I have 7 pairs coming to me. I don't expect every one to be in top condition, and I don't plan to keep all of them; I definitely don't need a shoe collection. But I think this will give me a chance to see how they feel in my regular use and will give me some guidance for when I want to invest a lot more money in a brand new pair - or two...
