Ok, I can see that shoes today are much better than they were back in the day, but is there really that much improvement from generation to generation? My last 7-8 pairs of Asics pretty much felt the same, although getting the "latest and greatest" shoe runs you about 40 dollars extra.
So what is the latest (non-gimmicky) advance in the state of the art? |

Heelys - ack ack ack!! Annoying and dangerous. I haven't seen as many around lately. Maybe all the little buggers had accidents on them. |

I'm not convinced that is true. Marketing is better, but I don't think shoes are better. My favorites always end up being simple, light-weight flats, or no-nonsense gimmick free shoes from the less popular brands.
My favorite pair is still an old pair of Asics Racers, from the 80's.

The best, and longest-lasting running shoes I've ever owned were Nike Air Pegasus, 1988.
Seems shoes have gotten lighter, which is nice, but not necessarily better. Just my $.02. |
