I think what I love about the Nikes is the cushioning that air pocket gives me, for some reason I have it in my head that that is what has helped my joints stay injury free =) Talked to Nike, I'll have to update about that...Anna Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690260231019336738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846428123496329067.post-4172113118567306982010-11-29T12:43:56.915-08:002010-11-29T12:43:56.915-08:00Anna, yes the Zooms and the Pegasus are both Nike&...Anna, yes the Zooms and the Pegasus are both Nike's. I was thinking this morning as I was driving all over the place, do you use your running shoes for walking as well? Or is the speed walking you mention part of your warm-up/cool-down routine? It sounds like you do strike more forward, which is good, so maybe you can get away with a less expensive shoe. I would go to the local store and spend some quality time with them. It was worth it to my wife.NattyBumpohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407766541195013004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846428123496329067.post-64154115858030951312010-11-28T19:29:06.641-08:002010-11-28T19:29:06.641-08:00I have thought about that Dawn...I guess I'm a...I have thought about that Dawn...I guess I'm a little gun shy.

However when I speed walk, I really notice it, so I dont think I really strike w/ that part of my heel, I think I strike more towards the fore-heel if that makes sense =)<br />So I may still run in them this week and know that I will be getting some new shoes by this weekend at the latest.<br />Are the pegasus and zooms nikes?

Your product will then be shipped out, and a tracking number will be available at your account. Shipping takes 5-7 business days. Shipping is made via EMS from China.<br />In some instances, there may be a customs charge applied to your package (very rare). This is the buyer's responsibility.<br /><br />I would be suspicious of these at this point. I know that the shoes are "Made in China" anyway, but this may be a knock-off site. Even if it isn't, the soonest you would see the shoes would be 8 days from order placement.<br /><br />Have you looked at the Air Pegasus? I'm giving up on my Air Zooms and going back to them on my next pair. They typically run about $80 and you can get them today.NattyBumpohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407766541195013004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846428123496329067.post-68079776518447955992010-11-28T11:00:46.895-08:002010-11-28T11:00:46.895-08:00Ok Natty, I added a side view...what do you think?...Ok Natty, I added a side view...what do you think?Anna Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690260231019336738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846428123496329067.post-68019664056624984452010-11-28T10:58:09.465-08:002010-11-28T10:58:09.465-08:00Well, they DID have a size 7 which is what I wear,...Well, they DID have a size 7 which is what I wear, but I just dont know if they are exactly my shoes. I *HEART* my shoes.<br />I should take a side picture of my shoes for you guys. From the side, the area above my sole is all see thru...also the upper of my shoe is not really mesh but more of a thin plasticy feeling overlay...hmmm....<br />Also, did you see anywhere on there was shipping cost was? I couldnt see anything about that...Anna Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690260231019336738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846428123496329067.post-32963886436428590662010-11-28T10:27:36.954-08:002010-11-28T10:27:36.954-08:00Um, I'm going to recommend a new pair. I just...Um, I'm going to recommend a new pair. I just did a quick comparison on a couple of sites. That is a great price on those shoes. It might be worth it to your feet and legs to get faster shipping. It doesn't look like they have a huge selection of sizes there though. Good luck.NattyBumpohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407766541195013004noreply@blogger.com
