2 Miles: Running Shoes

As we got out this morning, I realized that I need new running shoes. My wife is now joining me and has propose to do a 5K by summer end. I'm glad that she has taking on this challenge and has now accompanied me for many of these two miles.

As we were jogging this morning I commented on how my sneakers no longer provide enough support. As we talked further, I realized that the shoes are over 2 years old and is probably time to get a new pair. I logged on to Amazon.com to started doing some research on the subject. I was more than overwhelm, a query for men running shoes, yield over 637 results.

How am I suppose to narrow this down? price, brand, I guess I'm just going to have to take a trip down to a store.

The bottom line is that you just can't find everything online. You may find a particular item, you can read about it, but in reality nothing beats touching and feeling it. This principle not only applies to shoes, but for every good and product in the market. I wonder how many people return things they bought off the net or TV without having been to a store to touch it or feel it? Do things advertise by Billy Mace really work and are these just brilliant pitch men?
