Where're my shoes, Ma...I'm going Shoeless.

After attempting to run this evening, and finding that my toes, arches, ankles, and other portions of my feet were cramping to a most painful degree (in which I was limping home), I said

-- Not again! I will not run in these shoes again!

The reason I had to get web access at home was for such times as this. I had to answer the question: where can I find my Brooks Adrenaline GTS running shoes?

I've worn these tennis shoes for probably 3 or 4 years exclusively. I will not run in another pair of shoes. And the GTS has had several iterations. Versions 4, 5, and 6 (twice over) are all ones that I have tried. And loved. Each version is better than the previous one.

I found out online before driving 35 minutes to a store, that a new iteration has come out this year; #7. It has a new insole and some other features. But it's the same shoe; beautiful and comfy on my extra-wide bunion-ridden feet. I also found online that the Muncie Mall had it in stock, whereas the Marion one did not.

As you can see, the seventh version is subtly pretty, like all the others I've had. The colors vary between each design, but they're always tasteful. No blaring, glaring or garish colors. This is the one I bought tonight - saving nearly 25%. I love back-to-school sales!

Not to be creepy or overtly needy, but reading that sort of (maybe) did make me want to go shopping with you.

Although it's not as if we went shopping more than twice, together, when we were in school.

Helping Hands doesn't count.
