Wow! Hid-e-ous

I am in desperate need of some new running shoes. Well not desperate, but running shoes have a life, and well mine are long gone dead. I haven't completely worn them out but, anyways, it doesn't matter. I need new running shoes.

I found (thanks to my brother-in-law, Chris) a great website that has running shoes discounted, or so they say. It's onlineshoes.com They have a wide selection and multiple colors, sizes to choose from, etc. However I am at a loss for words at how hideously colored and designed these shoes are. I wear Asics, specifically Asics Gel Nimbus cause I've found they work well with me and my retarded way of running...BUT all their selection and even the selection on Asics.com are so amazingly disgusting. One pair's red and looks like spiderman attached itself to it, others are periwinkle and lightening blue. So disgusting.

So I thought perhaps Nike.com would have some cools shoes cause I liked how the original shocks looked and they are usually hip. Well boy did I find a winner of a shoe. Below is the link to the shoes cause I'm pretty sure they're on the list to be purchased. I am indeed a lover not a fighter and I want everyone to know that by plastering a freaking heart on the top of my shoe. Really NIKE? really.

Anyways, I think I found some Asics (Asics Gel-Kayano) that will hopefully not look to too hideous as I run around and I pray they will be just as comfortable as my last Asics.

But with ugly shoes, you don't mind getting them dirty, running in the rain, etc. You want them to look used, where with good looking shoes, you want them to stay good looking. I rarely have attractive running shoes.
