The thing that gets me is that the gear whch is used by real athletes is considered unfashionable by Kool Kids. My Ron Hill tracksters are not exactly high fashion, but at every athletics meet, half the runners wear them. I even get comments about my fashion sense form teenage kids. I never get that when I'm walking or driving.
How true; I was a big fan of Asics running shoes before they because popular, and hence, overpriced. I'll have to check out a set of Ron Hill shoes for running (I miss running, my knee doesn't feel bad anymore, and I'd like to start again). Would you reccomend them for general road/track use for short runs (five miles or less)?
