THE shoe

I’m a woman and I love shoes – more recently though I love sneakers. This stinky shoe I’m holding up is my favorite of all time. I walked 2 of the 3 days in this shoe and on the third - at the end I cried because all I wanted was my flip flops.  You should have seen me, a grown woman looking at her husband, “but where are my flip flops?!”  His response, “they are in the car” (pointing across a soccer field). “NOOOOO, I can’t walk another step in these I just want my flip flips!!!” Apparently 60 miles and the longing for breathable shoes not rubbing against your 7+ blisters turns a (relatively) sane woman into a tantrum throwing toddler.  Despite my inability to control normal emotions that day my loving husband had me sit while he retrieved my sandals.

Even though I hated this shoe at the end I love where it got me. It is a super pair that I will often wear and I will definitely go with New Balance again.  This Sunday New Balance will be holding a shoe clinic for 3-Day participants and I will be turning up for a look at what they have in stock for me this year.

By the way, these sneakers are at the outlet in Lawrence at a price that’s a steal! I scooped them up and will be sporting the very same sneakers I love to hate again this year!
