I come from the days of running (okay when I was 12-14) when running shoes quality and type weren't based on like they are today. Different colors on the shoes meant different things, to help people buy the right shoe for them.. I remember having some not so cute running shoes in Jr. High but they were actually one of the top shoes at the time. It took my dad forever to convince me to get them (he was an experienced runner and knew what I didn't.) So because of my past, I completely agree sometimes looks mean nothing! How they feel and preform means everything!Runaway Bridal Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436851320623647572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-3058187986206103682014-12-08T12:01:44.259-05:002014-12-08T12:01:44.259-05:00I have a pair of Altras I started to wear too that...I have a pair of Altras I started to wear too that I like.
