It's time to buy some new running shoes, but guess what? Once again the company has changed their models and the ones i like don't exist anymore!  I hate the way they do that - it makes me dread buying shoes because every time it's like starting from scratch.  The end result is that I wear my shoes way too long because i can't stand the ordeal of buying new ones.  When will they ever learn?

It's called marketing!  Don't you just love it?

I've experienced that.  It's what happens when accountants and 'sales people' take over sports companies.

If i find something i really like - especially if it's on sale - i buy two or three pairs at a time.  that way i don't have to do it again for a couple of years!

I hate all this nonsense - it does make buying new shoes very difficult.

It's the same with any type of sports shoe - find one you like and you can guarantee it won't exist next year!

Couldn't agree more - what a pain!
