I just paid 600 dollars plus tax for the fastest shoe in the world & they are being delivered now

the amount of common sense possessed by the buyer is inversely proportional to the cost of the shoe.

Yikes. That's $6 per mile of shoe life.

I got to test them out. They are the real deal

If you want shoes like that, just get a grinder and grind a curve up the backs of your soles.

Better yet, run barefoot. It's free.

My last 3 pair of shoes were on sale for $7 a pair from Walmart, and they're about the best running shoes that I've ever had.

The hotel paid me 8 figures for no security there. Thanks for the comment

That's the problem - too much money and not having any good use for it.

Price aside, it's a really beautiful shoe.

I was thinking the opposite. That oil-colored upper with the black bottoms just looks so gross or something.

That guy and the people who hired him should be paying you big time.

And the guy should be locked up in prison.

I hope you're still pursuing damages against them, and criminal charges.

Generally you don't count the two figures after the decimal point. $10+ million in a settlement, for "not having security" LMAO.

If you had a choice, knowing what you know now, would you have voluntarily taken the same beating for your settlement amount?

Also don't be so profligate with your spending. That kind of money can easily support you for a life time, as long as you're careful. Don't be like those lottery winners who go broke in a few years.

DUMB-ASS!

OP- Do you live in the UK and get these during the London Marathon event?

If you live outside the UK, how did you get them?

I'm more interested in this back story......

I'm currently using the latest adidas Supernova.

What kind of advantage, expressed in minutes per marathon, am I likely to get by switching to the Nike Zoom VaporFly Elite Flyprint (or even just the VaporFly Elite or VaporFly 4%, for that matter)?

There's literally no way a hotel was hit up for 10 million+ for failing to have security, especially in a settlement. OP is a well known pathological liar.

Delivery now? Wow, that was fast!

Don't know the whole story, but know it was at the Gaylord which is now owned by Marriott, a multi billion dollar family. So I'm sure they probably paid 430 miler well over 10 million.

oh dear

If you were 4:30 miler, how much would you pay for sneakers that guarantee, say, 4:20?

Here's the full story :

Not sure why the hotel would be hit for 10 million + dollars when they pretty much had about as little liability as you can possibly have in this situation. A small scuffle broke out on your property that didn't even result in a police report? Like I said, OP is a well known and proven serious pathological liar.
