I used to do my running wearing the same pair of shoes I use for playing basketball, which are very heavy. I have the same pair of Reeboks that Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson used during one All-Star Game. I would always complain of lower back pains after my morning run, and a doctor-friend told me that basketball shoes are not meant for long-distance running because of the strain it puts on the lower back. He suggested I get a pair of running shoes. I went to the mall yesterday hoping that since it’s the first quarter of the year some of the shoe outlets have updated their inventory and brought in new supplies. Unfortunately, I was told that a couple of them decided to close or relocate.
I met a friend of mine later that day who told me that it has something to do with the recession. He advised me to try online shopping instead. That got me thinking. I spend almost most of my free time on the web, I might as well do shopping while am it. So when I got home, I went online . I immediately found out that it was indeed more convenient. What made it so was the fact that in one website alone, they have almost 30,000 stores selling their wares. Okay! Not all online shopping sites do that, but luckily I found one that does. So there I was in the middle of the day picking from among hundreds of running shoes. Sites like ShopWiki finds all the stores in the internet that offer all kinds of running shoes.
So, after deliberating on what brand to pick, I finally decided on the new Adidas A3 Accelerator Tennis Shoe. I never knew it was this easy to shop online. I always thought it would be too much of a hassle, but there I was, not having to go to the mall anymore and finding the right training shoe for me. And it’s just not running shoes, you can find virtually all kinds of things in online stores. I'm talking about an Apple MacBook Air, a Guitar Hero DVD for the PS3 console, an iPod Touch and lots more. And the icing on the cake is, they’re relatively inexpensive. I just couldn’t ask for more.
