A pair of Nike Air Monarch IV's for $50.

US12/4E, though I'm usually US13 (no, nothing to do with my handle). The heels have a bit more support than I generally care for, but I gave up on buying running shoes and replaced my walking shoes instead. If I still played basketball, these would've never done because Nike is schizophrenic and gave them a partial black rubber sole bordering the white rubber.

I tried some of the ones with split toes, which felt comfy and looked interesting, but didn't seem very durable. I also tried the Reebok Zigs and Realflexes, which I didn't care too much for. None of the Zigs in stock were the same shape as my foot and the Realflex disturbed me. It felt like the center axis of the foot from front to back had too much support. Each step I took, my feet wanted to roll left or right. Didn't get a chance to try the Nike Freeruns, but I'll give them a shot sooner or later.

Yeah, I have tons of shoes but they're all worn the hell out. The Merrell Vibram Continuum US13's (silly name, I know) lasted for about two years, but were worn so much that I'm going to have to stuff insoles into them, and the unpadded rear topline cut some wicked callouses into my heels.

I didn't expect to like them, but the Nike Air Monarchs were pretty good. I have no intention of running in them the way they're padded, but they feel like they're great for walking around.




Going to try some NB MR993's when I get the chance.

e: Actually, I did try the Free Runs, but only walked in them. Hard to tell unless I actually trot down the aisle.

I've had a lot of luck with NB and Merrells. I don't think I'll be disappointed with the Nike's though, because they're awfully comfy. Going to grab a pair of runners next week, so I think I'll hit up a specialty running store. Haven't gotten my feet looked at in years.

A round of golf. It was wet and buggy. Not so fun.

Also: driver's side mirror for my car. I'd dropped a speaker on it while moving.

I was carrying one of my 50lb Accusounds along with a bag full of sensitive electronics. The bag slipped off my shoulder as I was coming around the car. I tried to catch it by raising my arm, dropping the other and the speaker in the process. Bent the hinge, which snapped when I tried to return the mirror to its original place. Stroke of bad luck, but it's only costing me 65 bucks for the part, and I have the paint already and my own two hours to paint it, so not that bad at all.

Imagine touching something you like...for example....breasts.
