My New Running Shoes.

Went to Saucony Warehouse today with OMP, Mingkiat and Leonard... OMP gotta buy a pair of new running shoes coz his had worn out badly, giving him the excuse to escape running!! Well, after today no more excuses.
I needed another pair too coz my current pair is more of a racer, a lightweight pair which cannot sustain long distances, my feet had been hurting doing the 20km runs with it. We narrowed down to 2 brands - Saucony (supposing cheap and good) and Pearl Izumi (the Legendary)
Went down to saucony warehouse, tried afew models, but the colour schemes not nice enough, the flashy enough ones were mostly racers... which defeated the purpose. Finally we found 1 that fitted very well, felt very soft, cushions well too and who knows. Its Saucony's top of the line shoes. RRP: $289. Never knew saucony could cost so much... but of coz we didn't paid that price for it... we got it much cheaper... hehe.
I almost couldn't get what i wanted coz the other trainers look so ugly until Ken (Saucony Sales Rep) showed me the new color scheme for this year. So... unbelieveably i actually spent near $200 for a pair of saucony. Of coz, i didn't spend alone, psycho-ed OMP to get a pair as well... hahaha. Mingkiat got another pair of hurricane for his wife too... Shiok ah!!
Leonard was the only one making a wasted trip, didn't get anything... still say design not impt, not vain.. in the end oso didn't buy coz never see sumthing he like.... tsk tsk vain vain leonard...

Time to show my shoes...
