I hate shopping

[low_delta]

I particularly hate shopping for shoes. I need new athletic shoes. It is a struggle finding ones that aren't all trendy and obnoxious looking. I think one's shoes should stand out form the rest of his wardrobe. It is also tough finding sweatshop-free shoes. Well, I guess that's just because the only bad one I know of is Nike. So I always feel uneasy buying other brands because I don't know if they use cheap foreign labor as well. And I also feel uneasy buying other brands because Nike has the best quality (as far as I know. It's been a few years, so maybe they suck now, like all the rest). And then, did you know they no longer put arches into shoes? I couldn't find any in any of the shoes I stuck my hand into. Now I've paid forty bucks for some cheapass leather walking shoe, and I've gotta spend another eight or so on arch supports!


(side note: I misspelled obnoxious. I typed "obnoxiooous." The spell check recommended "nonpoisonous." Try it yourself!)

i buy my athletic shoes on-line at roadrunner sports.......several years ago, i found that the new balance 580 in a 12EE fit me perfect, and i just keep buying the same shoe after i wear the old ones out........i'm not using the local merchants to get the right size or fit, did that once......now, i just save a couple bucks.....

That sound reasonable. I would probably do that if I could find a pair that good.
