Test Shoes

Last Saturday I received my test shoes from Brooks. The Fed Ex guy brought them (that really irks me). The color is called wasabi. They are a little more tame than my lava colored 4's. The only things that really changed are a few styling cues on the upper, the color, and the tongue is a little longer with two loops for the laces to run through. I have run in them three times so far and can't tell a difference from my two older pairs other than they aren't beat to death. When I took them out of the box I noticed some numbers hand written on different parts of the out sole and mid sole. I'm guessing they are durometer readings to tell how hard the materials are. Now I just have to run 25 miles a week in them for the next three months. The things I will do for a freebie.

I think you should examine why the FedEx guy bringing you a nice present makes you "angry".... Life is way too short Rik....

Who said angry? I never said angry.
