do you also complain about how ugly 'modern' computers are? How bout emacs? No. He's right, it is more about function than form. as a runner, you don't really care how they look (unless you're on the cover of Runner's World you ain't gonna look pretty anyways), but rather how they are built. honey combed webbing? for breathability . metallic silver? reflectors so you don't get run over by that guy in his F-150 who 'didn't' see you, or maybe that lady obsessively talking on her cell phone. 'gel-ified?' gel in the soles to help the shoes endure the punishment a real runner will give them. shiny gold? see: metallic silver Do these shoes correct the flat-footed stride that I have? Do they correct the over-pronation of my ankles? Will they endure 100-mile weeks while I train for a marathon? Do they have enough padding and support because I'm overweight? go take your 'stan smiths' and run 5 miles and come back when your calves are shot to hell and flinders. would be better off running bare feet than in those junkers.
