Eryn (backroadrunner) has tried dozens of shoes, to find that the only one that suits her needs is the Asics GT-2110...a discontinued shoe. The new 2120 doesn't fit or function the same for her. She has looked online for the 2110, but they are hard to find in her size (8.5). Yesterday while at an MC Sports store I discovered that they had them on clearance for $60. I just returned home with 2 pair for her--even in 2 different colors! Ain't she a lucky gal to have me around to do her shopping for her!? Big grin

Ha! Though I didn't buy them to give to her...I bought them and she's reimbursing me. I gots my own shoes to buy! Big grin

Pam, are you having a hard time finding that shoe in your size? If I get back down that way and find them I would gladly pick you up a pair and ship them to you. Smile

I may not get down there for a few more days, but next time I'm there I would gladly grab a pair--9.5 medium, right? Got a color preference? They had them in orange and periwinkle. I think shipping would be under $10 including insurance. Smile

I've always gotten 9.5 D not sure if that's medium or not. Anyways don't care about the color (I am partial to orange Wink

Ahhh...D is wide width. Darn, they only had narrows (A or AA, IIRC) and mediums (B/C). Sad

Now that you've joined Club Kayano, bear in mind that I wear an 11-1/2. The holidays are just around the corner...

When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

You know, if I won the lottery I would send all the regular RA posters gift cards for $100 to their choice of running store...that would be cool. Probably won't happen, though, as I have never in my life purchased a lottery ticket.... Tongue

Just as well. A lottery is nothing more than a tax on people who are bad with math... Tongue
