The Great Shoe Debate

In the end...MONEY TALKS! =)

I've been trying to decide what type of shoe to buy for working out. My workouts are mostly: walking outside, recumbant bike and sometimes a DVD. I hope to eventually run, but that's a long way off.

Anyhoo, I went to the only shoe source I had: ABB! She gave me a lot of great advice. I started researching all the shoes she suggested. My roommate mentioned she'd read a lot of good reviews about Ryka. So, we decided to check those out too. Aaaaand, she just happened to have two 30% coupons to The Foot Locker. Woot! So, we headed to The Lady Foot Locker today to check out the shoes. I looked at all the Asics and Adidas, but they were all so freaking expensive! Why is it so expensive to be healthy?! That's a whole 'nuther blog...

After checking out the first two brands on my list, I headed to the Rykas. THEY WERE ON SALE! Some were "two for $89.99" and one pair was on sale for $49.99 (originally $89.99). Hello! $49.99 plus a 30% off coupon?! You can't beat that ladies! I tried on the 9 1/2 and they felt really great...except for the fact that my feet are ginormous and I really need a 10! Of course they didn't have any 10's, so I ended up having to order a pair. Sigh. But they ship them to your house for free! Yay! These are the ones I ended up with: Ryka Women's MC2 Run.

So, in the end folks...money talks. Maybe another pair would have been better for my feet, but the Ryka's were DEFINATELY better for my bank acct!
