I look my best blurry!
"Musha" sounds like the name of a shoe with lots of cushion.
Sounds like a Chinese burrito like thingy with cabbage and mushrooms and some kinda sauce in a rice wrapper.
Can't help but butt in...
"Musha" means samurai warrior. Gosh, those Americans...
Oh, on the other note, I saw this guy who had Chinese charactor tatooed on his forearm. I said, "Oh, Chinese charactor?? (now, WE, Japanese, use Chinese charactors)" He said, very proudly with a grin; "Oh, I play musican instrament so I wanted the charactors saying "music" on my arm." Well, in Chinese charactors, you put "sound" and "enjoyment" or "fun" together to make "music". He only had the second half--"enjoyment"--and no "sound"!! I did point it out to him but I don't know what he did with that knowledge... A poor guy!
I actually knew about Musha and, of course, Ronin. The problem is that some names don't transfer well to other cultures, either phonetically or with actual meaning.
We always hear in marketing 101 that GM couldn't sell the Nova in spanish speaking countries because "no va" means "won't go" in Spanish. Turns out this one is an urban legend. But it sounds nice.
Back in the early pre-palm pilot days of the handheld, there was the company that wanted to unveil the Hand Job.
I have a can of Spotted Dick sponge pudding.
There's also the acid reflux medicine called Aciphex. This isn't a cultural snafu, but it is weird. Say it outloud. That's right. Ass Effects.
Nike has a shoe called the Vomero.

Another vote for Elixers, I see. xenoplastic, I don't know much about the Ronins, so I may look at them and the Musha. Thank you both.

If you try the Elixir and like them, you may also want to look Brooks Adrenelines. My daughter alternated between these two when she was running in college with no issues.
Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

And that would be???
Craig, by the way, did she find the Adreneline to be about the same, support-wise, as the Elixr, or simply a good complement?
A can of this stuff:
It's the english concept of "pudding" which means it is solid, not liquid. Basically it is sponge cake with raisins (the spots). I would assume you need to remove it from the can before you microwave it.
Anyway, spotted dick goes way way way back. If you read Patrick O'Brian's sailing books (where the movie "Master and Commander" came from), the officers are always eating. And desserts are things like "spotted dick" and "drowned baby".

They may be what you're looking for though...

I think the Adrenaline is more supportive, closer to the Inspire. I've never tried the Adrenaline, since anything more controlling than the Elixir or other mild stability shoes is too much shoe for me.

She thought the Elixirs may have been slightly lighter and a little more flexible, but not by much. I intend to give the Elixirs a try myself. I've been in Adrenelines since version 4 or 5 with decent luck, but wouldn't mind trying something else. Everytime Brooks "evolves" the Adrenelines, they feel a little different. So far they've all worked, but it would be nice to have a back up in case that changes.
