Dear Asics: So I finally decide that, yes, I do prefer your shoes to the Nike Structures that have dominated my running for the past 6 years and I go to buy a pair to finish up training for the MCM. What do I find when I get to Pacers? I find THIS!!! What's wrong with making normal colored shoes. These are hideous, if you ask me. UGH!

    Embrace the crazy colors! They would look cute with a swishy running skirt!

    They don't match anything I have ... and they are too flashy for me. Did I mention I HATE purple. My little 3 year old nice would love them since purple is her favorite color.

    Hmmm. That's a problem I suppose. My Mizunos are fluorescent yellow. In size 11, I feel like I am wearing banana boats. Just don't look down. ;-)

    My local running store will order the other color options for no extra cost. Did you ask if they'll do that?

    Laura they called all the other Pacers stores and they didn't have any of the older model. These are the "hot new Asics GT 2000". Kelsie, I'm a good 20 years older than you maybe that's my problem :-)

    Loud colors get you noticed when running on the streets. I consider it a safety issue when you look drab.

    Robert that exactly what the Pacer's girl said ... even knowing I run at 0430 before the sun is anywhere near coming up.

    My sister-in-law told me my little 3 year old niece Naomi got purple shoes today too (her favorite color) so I guess as long as they feel okay I'll stick with them :-)

    as your feet are so speedy they'll just look like a blue blur. Add me to the purple crowd. I like 'em. ;) A lot of my gear is purple. heh

    They don't hold up. I put less than 300 miles on them and the insides fell apart. I expect to get 600 miles.
