So I don't know how many of you monkeys care about shoes at all...but I need a new pair of running shoes, and sure enough I spot that Reebok is releasing the Pump 2.0, which is a revised Pump with the inflator in the heel, so it fills up as you walk, and a pressure valve to maintain 5 psi. Pretty neat, huh?

So they finally get them in at finish line here in Boston, and I go and try on a pair. My old shoes were 10.5, so that's what I try on and get. These end up being too big, so I return them and drop a full size to 9.5. These are almost idenstical to my old shoes, which are a little too small. So I bring these back and get a pair of 10s, which are the perfect size, about a half size larger than my old 10.5's. WTF much? So finally, they fit.

Kind of. The last pair I brought home have a broken pressure regulator or something, and my right shoes fills up so much it's painful. Now I have to return these, for the third time, and probably face the same cashier. I think I'm going to have a seizure.

if i am running, it's for my life.

though hearing karren o in the new jonze addidas comercial did kinda make me want to get some shoes with three nifty stripes.

God i hope they wont let you return them agian. Those things are ugly. What are you running from any way? You should be on your bike!

haha...word
I've got brown ones on right now. You should probably call up Reebok and ask the recommended SPV pressure for your weight...set the rebound on the quicker side to get better acceleration. You could probably send that thing into push and get them to custom valve the floating sole for your running type, as well...

you'd think with the dismal performance of the Pump v1.0, they would've ironed out all the kinks.

when they work they're pretty comfortable. Reebok has an elastomer on the outside heel for shock absorbtion, and the uppers are all synthetic and coolmax lined...they're nice shoes...but i just got pwned on the fitment. I can't understand why they run a FULL SIZE large though, that's messed up. I just kind of wanted to bitch, because it's taking me so long to get some new kicks on my feets.

thanks for letting me rant.

ps about the whole ugly thing, these shoes are mostly for running, so I wanted them to be as ugly as possible. there's nothing better than flashy running shoes.

I wanted the pump fury 2.0, but they aren't available in the states, and I'm glad i didn't buy them online, sizing is retarded.

 

[arboc!]

shoes like that run different, because your supposed to wear them form fitting, i dont know what the rest of you shoes are, but from my experience, skate style shoes run wierd, because there arent ment to be tight and form fitting.

Have you seen those Adidas shoes that have a microchip in them. They are expensive.

 

[Broken_Spoke]

I have owned nike, reebok, and adidas and I would have to say that I like adidas the best

 

[stevew]

I run in these.

 

[Lefty]

I run in these.

Wtf.. you're kidding right. What are those..

I rely on my old Nike Air Structure. They are the finest i've ever had.

Actually they need replacing after 5 years.

I tried the first Pump Reeboks but they where so hidious that i did'nt buy them. That was in 1994. i could have bought them tax-free at a very low price.

They looked kinda like that Fury.

White men can jump.

White men can jump.

Lol ..that's why he needs those shoes.

is that the commerical where the dude with the medium fro gets out of bed in a dark room and starts running....then runs upside down...and then gets back into bed?
if so, i was wondering who sang that song....i love it! give me more details if anyone knows who the artist/song is.

Yup it's that commercial. Dunno who's singing it. ? But the commercial is very well made.

I would also like to know who sings that

 

[LordOpie]

shoes are like bikes... go get a fitting. I spent an hour in a running store trying on different shoes, running on a treadmill having the lady watch me. She put me in a shoe that was right for me.

 

[Sandwich]

I did just that...marathon sports here in boston hooked me up with a set of saucony's...nothing fancy, but they're cushioned and they fit, and are supposedly the right fit for my under/neutral pronation

bye bye pump 2.0...maybe when i get cash and need a pair of street sneakers

 

[Sandwich]

ps. as for the song, it's the singer from the yeah yeah yeahs, and a quick googling found me the short version from the commercial for free...

bless this interweb
