| | A few months back I posted a rant on how ugly good running shoes are. Sure the fancy Nike Lunar Runners are way cool, but all the run snobs will scoff at you overpaying for marketing hype over substance. I'm my own man, but I still fear scoffing.
Today I discovered a compromise. A little company called Newton Running makes a shoe run-geeks love... and it actually looks really good. Now, to be fair, the shoe typically comes in a color scheme that involves 3 different neon colors (how could I make that up), but there is a version that is plain-jane red and grey. It comes in an eco-friendly recycled box as well.
There is one draw back .... 175 drawbacks, honestly. So you can have a great pair of running shoes that feel great, look great, hug the earth, and will win acceptance with the running aristocracy. It just costs twice as much.
