I love shoes so much I could post an article per pair of shoes. There was a time when people rarely wore running shoes, but now people can be seen everywhere wearing them along with athleisure; sporty clothing. It is interesting to notice how fashions change, and what was once not normal becomes normal.

These are Nikes from the Costco in Rochester. My brother picked them up a while ago, and forgot about them. They made it to his travel suitcase this trip, and I got them just yesterday.

They were just a bit snug. I usually wear shoes that a bit oversized, so these felt tight. I gave them a day, when I took out the insole and wore them. The next day, I replaced the insoles and now they are perfect for running in.

A bonus: these are rainproof shoes so when it rains they won’t squelch with the water. This is hypothetical. I do not run. It doesn’t rain here, where I live, until July. I might never run and in some scenario if I do start to run, I might never run in the rain.
