Oil price is one reason. However the dollar is so weak be prepared to see everything in the US go up in the next year. Remember everything is made outside of the US now and the dollar isn't worth shit. The margins are getting too tight as companies have been selling things in the US for much lower than the rest of the world. If you think life is difficult now then wait until prices go up by 15% for everything.
Perhaps then the US will become less of a consumer driven throw away society.
I went to JJB sports and bought one of the cheapest pairs of running shoes in there (£30) and have kept them for 2 years... and will do til the sole wears through to the ground.
An actor? A processed 'meat' promo spot? Yes, really.

Why would it matter? By the way, American should be capitalized.
Asics are the most comfy shoes for me. I've worn hardly any other brand the last 10 yrs and have never paid more than 50 bucks. Just buy a d/c line and buy them at your local cheap-mart. In case you don't know, running shoes in the last decade or so are practically identical in protection and feel. Only the colors change.....
Note I managed a running store in the early '80's and the hot new trainers back then (Pegasus, Internationalist etc.) sold for....50 bucks!
Keinsis (sp?) aren't worth it. I've had them and they don't offer enough stability. Get the 2121 (is that number they're on now) and you'll be fine.
