tread separation
Just for the record, I hate shopping for footwear. The recent move to Florida and its rainy weather have gone a long way towards gradually destroying my last pair of trail-runners, and I have an unusually difficult time replacing them. Something about finding clown-shoes in my size. Two hours in a shoe store this afternoon, and nothing to show for my efforts. Either the heel was too tight, the tongue was displaced, or the lower sole fit - but the uppers were constricted. I even found a pair that would have been almost okay - except it was designed for heel-runners and I am unquestionably a toe-striker who would have received less traction than I'd like. I've suffered through bad footwear before, and I need something that fits like a glove, and runs like a shark.
