Subject: RE: Your First Running Shoe
Body:

Onitsuka Tigers (blue nylon that weighed virtually nothing) in 1970. They had arch support and that's about it.

My grandmother purchased them from a fellow named Dick Pond, selling them out of a trailer at a local cross country meet.

I trained (not much then at age 11) in them and raced in them - if you call it that.

And oh, they were perfectly acceptable shoes.
