Running Shoes

Running shoes were originally invented to be worn on the feet by people who run. They have become the second most popular form of footwear behind socks with individual toe compartments. Originally called Swiss Army Sandals (SAS), they have also been called sneakers, joggers and hovercraft. Athletes with powerful legs that contain muscles, bones, cartilage and other anatomical matter, require a comfortable shoe which can be laced up tightly and double as a torture device.



The marketing of running shoes has become a multi-national, mega-corporate meat market in recent years. Famous athletes are treated like fit and healthy pawns in a game of death defying chess. Their choice of footwear can be easily swayed by the company with the fattest cheque book and deepest pockets. You can tell what brand of shoe a person is wearing by the garish logo design and horrible colours. Someone, somewhere should pass some sort of legislation banning something.



When I was young my father took me to the movies to see a film about a ghost. In one scene, the invisible villain darted across the screen. All you could see was a pair of running shoes. It was footwear madness and mayhem in the highest degree. Talk about foot in mouth disease. Basically, what I’m trying to say is…if you find the right shoe for you, you should wear it. A good shoe should not only hug your foot but it should also cut off the circulation of blood to your toes, causing light headedness and death.
