I alredy had an idea of the type of athletic shoes I wanted,  I know what size Nikes fit me, so that is not a problem.
I am constantly being Emailed by 3 shoe companys, but what is on deal to me price-wise, is no deal.
On a whim, I went on-line to Amazon and found several styles I liked, at the prices I liked.
The "good" pair I was wearing were white. (not good for winter mess.)  So I wanted black.
I like this syle and the price that was offered, so I went ahead and ordered them.
I was happy when they showed up a day before I was given as the delivery date!
(Some how, I ripped the sole loose on my other's the day the new ones were delivered!
These are not only comortable, thaey are light.  It's like wearing slippers.
