  1. For running in concrete up to marathon distances, preferably dark colors. I've looked online for
    shoes but most of the sites offer shoes of around 70-120 dollars and most of them are white sneakers
    which I hate. Right now I have Nike ACG walloha (Trail shoes) or something like that. I'm recovering
    my Achilles tendon and I'm running short 1.7 miles from the handball court, in 2 weeks I'm going to
    get busy again and start running for 5 or 6 miles, then hopefully back to the 20 miles which killed
    my tendon and calves about 5 weeks ago.

    Thanks

  3. You might check for a Nike outlet store in the area.

    The shoe price is relatively cheap compared to other running costs. A set of doctors visits for
    messing up legs can run into the hundreds of dollars, especially as US medical insurance becomes
    more miserly. The 500-1000 extra kcal of food one eats each day for running, exceeds shoe costs
    several times.

    You'll find it much easier to wait until the concrete drys, and run "on" it, instead of "in" it. For
    running in it I'd suggest wading boots. READ

    TRASH THE NIKES!!!! They are the cause of your injuries. They are cheap, poorly designed, [censored]. Get
    ANY OTHER brand but them, and your running injuries will cecrease dramatically. Nevermind the one or
    two people here who swear they are great shoes (runners with no pronation issues etc) and do a
    Google search, you will find the threads on nikes runs about 10 posts for [censored], to one post that
    says they are ok. You will pay at least $70 for a decent pair of shoes, the nike equivalent will
    cost you $140. Overpriced [censored]!Go with Asics, Adidas,reebok, Suckonme (Saucony), even the lowly
    Brooks will treat you better. If you have pronation issues etc, take your old shoes to a REAL
    running shop where they will decide the type of shoe you need, and recommend a brand. If they
    suggest nike walk out, they make a bigger commision on them (one reason they're overpriced) so they
    push them. Write us and let us know how it worked out.

    Good to see you are looking at your shoes' most important feature (color?)!!!

    Our mall's "Lady Foot Locker" has some nice pink REEEEboks in the window. Why not check those
    out first?!

  6. You better watch it there Tiny, he might slap you around and make you cry.

    Check ANY outlet BUT nike! This is one of the 2 fools I told you would respond this way, there's 5
    that will tell you they will hurt you, and at very least are overpriced to feed their advertising
    budget. You can get a good Asics for under $90, and an equivelent nike would cost you over $150.

    Indeed he knows this well having run in nikes. Ask him his injury history, and you'll get the idea.

    exception of a "nike related" incident last year.)

    I bought the nikes I have now because they were like 50 bucks I just started running and anything
    was better for running than my old skateboarding sneakers. Thanks for the info.

    If you really care that deeply about the aesthetics of your training clothes, may I suggest you find
    another sport ? Preferably one where being a flatliner is not a disadvantage.

    You bought a cheap pair of shoes from a cheap company, honestly you'd be better off barefoot.

    What about the hundreds of world class runners who use Nike shoes? I know your response
    already..."they are under contract". True, but why do they continue to reup their contracts with
    nike if the shoes are so bad and cause so many injuries. I mean they are world class runners who
    need every advantage. You probably also don't like Ford or Chevy autos, Coke or Pepsi to drink, and
    you would never use windows with a pentium processor.

    It's not much of a conflict really in where I would have to choose aesthetics over the other, I'll
    just stick with my present shoes until I find ones that have good performance as well as look
    nice... Hey I'm shallow like that...shoot me.

    eccentric exercises for my tendon and calves. Theres nothing retarded with that, 8 weeks of physical
    therapy and rest and after that Im going to start again but just a little a slower isn't dum at all.

    Donovan, you having bad day? Not laid this week/month? Running suck or an injury? You jumped in his
    [censored] from the start before you had any idea if he was a troll or just a new runner.

    Your repetitious choice of the term "retarded" especially concerning behavior shows a very shallow
    side of you. Any other didactic observations? Have the real trolls got you this flustered?

    I realize we have our share of douche bags but let's not assume with the first post a person is not
    sincere. Either that or we rename this rec.running.[censored]

    Cheers,

    What's retarded behavior,

    OK, I'm proceeding on the questionable assumption that you're a flatliner and not a troll ...

    What would be non-retarded is buying a pair of proper running shoes.

    Most proper running shoes cost good money. Most proper running shoes are only available in white.

    Despite these limitations, proper running shoes are better for running than cheap non-running shoes
    in your favourite color.

    After rehab, commencing a non-retarded training program would be non-retarded behaviour. Based on
    your post, you neither know nor care what a non-retarded training program is.

    "Just a little slower" is just a little bit less retarded.

    Congratulations, if you keep this up for a year, you may go progress from complete flatliner to a
    garden variety moron. You won't have any achilles tendons left by then though.

    No, I was polite to this moron the first time he posted here. Excerpt from his previous post:
    --------------------------------
    I started running this summer, running a mile to a handball court and back home, after two months I
    started running 3 miles, then to 6, 8, in October month I was able to go for an hour and 20 minutes,
    then two weeks later was able to do 2 hours. The next week it all went to hell. I wanted to do a 3
    hour or so run, I've had a little bit of tension in my shins, but halfway there my Achilles tendon
    started to give way, as more time went on, the pain kept building on until I stopped at around 2
    hours and 40 min. ... I really want to do 50 mile runs, but that's a long way away especially with
    this going on.
    --------------------------------

    Now after receiving a copious amount of sensible and respectful replies to this, he spews forth the
    following drivel:

    -------------------------------
    handball court, in 2 weeks I'm going to get busy again and start running for 5 or 6 miles, then
    hopefully back to the 20 miles which killed my tendon and calves about 5 weeks ago.
    -------------------------------

    Read in context of his earlier post. He's not talking about 20 miles per week. He's talking about
    doing 3 hour runs on a regular basis.
