The "Perfect" Sneaker

After work I followed through and went to Dick's Sporting Goods Store to find the "perfect" pair of running sneakers. I tried on approximately four different brands and decided on Nike. I chose Nike Air Span +7 sneakers. They offer stability support, cushioning, arch support and in the future I could purchase the Nike plus i pod system. I also learned that the Dick's Sporting Goods Store offers a one year sneaker warranty program that is a small extra fee. For one year if the rubber on my shoes start to separate or the mesh tears etc. I could call the phone number and they will send me a gift card for the full price of the sneakers. Overall a great bargain. I bought a pair of Nike's normally priced at $90 on sale for $75 and then used a $15 off coupon and bought a warranty for a final total of $69.

Now to see if they work, the next challenge of the "perfect" running sneaker. So tomorrow is the big test, I plan on going to the gym and using the treadmill to break in the new shoes. Since I have been home tonight I have worn them around the house to get used to the feel. I love them so far, but if my love fades I'll keep you posted.

  1. how are the shoes holding up? I may need a new pair soon since I recently found my right ankle turning some as I run.
