It’s a Monday Night Special Edition Blog Night!
When it comes to athletic shoes, I admit to being rather
picky. I come by it honestly. Someone I know got me hooked on quality
shoes a long time ago. :o)
New
Balance makes some of my favorite sport shoes. I have a pair of slides that I wear around the house. I have my pair of Country Walks that
are my favorite hiking/walking shoes.
There’s a shoe of theirs that really should have its own
legend. It’s the 990, a shoe so special that New Balance made a special pair
just for President Obama.
It is partially hand constructed right here in the USA. Well, not here, here, in Washington,
but over there here, in Maine.
By the way, there has been no confirmation that Mr. Obama
has actually worn the shoes. But New
Balance did have his name put on the soles, so maybe he’ll have them mounted
and displayed or something.
But seriously, if you’re in the market for a running shoe,
check them out. Invest in your
feet and invest in yourself.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I think my Country Walks and I are
going to bond over a nice little stroll.
