Asics made the infamous "rice husk" shoes for 3 athletes:
(1) Mizuki Noguchi. She didn't even make it to the starting line. As I have found out myself, injuries further up the skeleton can be as a result of footwear.
(2) Deena Kastor. She broke her foot. I don't need to say anymore.
(3) Now we have our dear boy Ryan Hall. Let's see how his feet hold out. If I were him, I would seriously consider using the same shoes that he did in London.
I believe he said a while ago that he is not wearing them.
He's not running in them. Sticking with his HyperSpeed IIs.
Hall won't wear them.
Rice husk shoes sound >><((((oY to me
Mayeroff, go back to you Asian ladyboys, this subject has been beaten to death. Hall isn't running in Rice a Roni shoes. He said that weeks ago.
(2) Deena Kastor. She broke her foot. I don't need to say anymore...Yes you do. She had issues with this foot well before the race. Not sure when she started wearing the shoe though.

I read somewhere that the shoes are only meant to be worn once, but I assume she had more than one pair (?) and tried them before the marathon.
Munchen go back to your well greased right or left hand and let real men discuss this.
Asian ladyboys need love too.
same shoes that have been on Olympic champions in the past, no?
Is Hall going to be wearing his rice huck shoes in the men's marathon?
