I do remember reading about that now, seems like it was a very long time ago. I ended up getting some Asics, but I have no idea what model. I let the guy fitting me bring out whatever he thought was best, and I picked the ones that felt good. They didn't have a shoe under $85, so I just decided to go by feel instead of price. Ended up paying $107 with tax, so not too bad, but certainly more than I usually pay for sneakers.
