New Shoes

I stopped in at DWS during lunch (my two erswhile companions bailed on me) and perused the athletic shoe sections. Women's trainers are always so girly-looking I almost always buy from the men's collections nowadays. I found a couple possibilities, tried on one pair which felt great, then tried on the other and realized I had picked up the wrong size. I went back to see if they had mine but no luck. I liked the first pair enough to get them though. They're from the adidas outdoor collection and have insulation and antimicrobial moisture-wicking. Supposedly they're also waterproof which should be good for walking in the rain!

If you look at the close-up images you can see the odd closures they have. You just pull on the black ball while holding the other black bit. I like it. The shoelaces are elastic so they give a little when your feet swell up. Just what I need. I might put them on right now.

I got the khaki color and for $15 less than Zappos. Bargain.
