No footbinding
I bought new running shoes the other week... My first pair of Mizunos and they feel good. They don't have space-age design like Nikes or even Euro style like adidas--they just look like shoes for jocks--but I'm not on any runway so that's okay.
It was also the first time I shopped at a specialty shop since buying my first pair of running shoes (dayglo Nike Pegasus from Top to Top in Westwood, in 1988 or so). The guy who helped me asked for my size was and then suggested I get a full size larger. WTF? I know feet expand when you exercise, but damn.
At first they felt a little clumsy, but I've gotten used to it. I wonder if my little toe nails won't get scrunched now?
