Another pair of sneakers

Last night Beth and I went to the Promenade Shoppes. She wanted to get another pair of sneakers before Saturdays walk. Hopefully she can break them in. New Balance is a 3-Day sponsor (for 20 years!) and they give a discount to walkers. So off we went.

When we arrived they had outdone themselves with pink for October. There was pink everywhere. There on the shelf was pink sneakers, made in the USA. I was tempted. But resisted. We got Beth's sneaks and  left.

After walking around the "lifestyle center" I said  those pink sneakers are cute enough to make me want to try them on. I had worn my Finn Casuals on Sunday for 6 miles with no problems, but they really didn't offer any cushion. They felt like my Birks. That's not good for long-distance walking. This is one thing I know.

So we went back and tried them on. They fit. I think. I have to wear them a couple times to know for sure. And as a bonus I got a little box of stuff. A workout video (ha ha) and a sneaker shaped USB drive. Loaded on it is the Koman video. But I can erase that. I was hoping to use it for school, but there's not way to hang or attach it.

So there it is. I've bought two pairs of shoes for walking. Now will I wear either one? Not for the Avon or the 3-Day. No time to break them in. But the Philly marathon has potential. Stay tuned.
