Tried on "cushy" shoes last night......

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Well, after trying on a bunch of Nike, Saucony, Asics, Reebok, Adidas I can honestly say that the
only shoe that felt like it was worth a sh*t was the Nike Air Pegasus Storm..........Not the Nike
Pegasus........Specifically the 'Air Pegasus Storm'. I don't know what the f*** the difference
is/was but although the name looks the same, apparently the word "Storm" means "worth half a sh*t"
in english!! I have to say that I am VERY disappointed in everybody's shoes. Asics was probably the
worst (of what I tried on). It was Sportsmart here in California which lets you try on shoes as long
as you like, run up & down the aisles etc. etc. There were no Nimbus IV's so I'm not saying Asics
sucks, just the shoes I tried on. Even the new "802?" or something like that. Saucony was about the
most consistent in comfort but they had no Grid Trigon (the one I really wanted to try) I tried Grid
this & Grid that but none of 'em were any more comfortable than my $25 Fila walking shoes. The award
is definitely the Pegasus Storm. If it weren't for that shoe I might have lost hope altogether.
Maybe $25 Fila's aren't so bad after all???

P.S. Almost forgot......New Balance was pretty ok. Nothing special...imho!

And FWIW, too, I rec'd my Nike Shox basketball shoes last week & played in them Saturday night. They
fit a bit more snug around the top of the foot & hug the heel a bit more than any other Nike bball
shoe I've ever owned, but as for shock absorption??........let me just say I'm glad I paid waaaay
less than full pop for 'em 'cuz they ain't nothin' special either. Maybe I'll have to try some
Pegasus Storm's out on the basketball court & see if I can't score more points by distraction than
skill..........LOL!
