Nice to see a little bit of spam action this morning. But come on everyone, we can all collectively do better.

We are the borg. You will be a-spam-ilated.

I just bought a pair of sneakers and they cost $140.  I'm not sure how I feel about this.

What brand did you end up getting?

I got a pair of Nike epic react 2.  I wanted something that had good side support but would have a big enough base when I do my lifting.  I've never gotten "real" sneakers before, always sticking to cheap-o new balance, so I don't know how I feel about paying real money for real sneakers?  But I like that they have neon on the heel.  Who knows, maybe I'll run more with these?

HAHAHAHAHAJHAHAHAGSYHQANNUIWCAS.  JK as a surgeon tickles me pink!  Nah, I just needed sneakers and I went to footlocker and pretty much told the girl, "I need sneakers.  For running and lifting."  I'm sure she grabbed the most expensive/newest ones, but I only buy sneakers once every midlife crisis, so it's a pretty much one-time purchase.

Tennis shoes!!! Or in southern speak, tenny (or tinny) shoes.

Not a bad call, as an 80s kid, I dig anything neon/loud.

At the same time, as an unwilling double knee surgery victim/participant, nothing beats real running shoes (wide open budget) for actual running. Unless you're younger than 25, then run in whatever.

I wish they had more neon, but it's almost tasteful?  Again, not sure how I feel about all this 'high performance' footwear.  I just want to be able to squat 200+ and not worry about my sneaker slipping.

I’m older than 25. I don’t run. I wear office type shoes, and steel toes. I guess I need to try running in steel toes in the event of an explosion.

Ah, who am I kidding, in the event of an explosion those heavy arsed f%^%%## won’t be on my feet. I’m running barefoot outta there.

I'm a cheapskate, so I get shoes at either Nordstrom Rack or Marshall's. It takes longer to find something that's in my size and comfortable. But hey, savings!

But sometimes time is money. So it's definitely easier to just have someone pick for you. I think if it's comfortable and does it's job, then it's money well spent.

I have a sweat pair of steel-toed cowboy boots.  Best investment ever.  No lacing and they're waterproof.  Plus they've got some sweet tooling.

@preeb All shoes with the weird toe-things scare me.  I almost ended a friendship when a friend wore them once to a casual gathering.  Just.  No. Toe socks = cute.  Toe shoes = molestor of some type of animal.

I imagine @SNAPE/SMOTT PE running in steel toes and just drop kicking though doors to get out.

I love those sweaty steel-toed boots.  Because, again, JK cannot spell things correctly while dealing with three screens.  That's my excuse.  An here's the link, if you want awesome pull-on boots:
