“SKECHERS' new performance shoes change the way I run for the better,” said Keflezighi. “I've been a heel strike runner my entire life, but I am now wearing SKECHERS to maximize the efficiency of my foot strike. My shoes are my most essential piece of equipment and right now SKECHERS has the footwear I need to succeed. I'm excited to be partnering with this groundbreaking company.”

Good for him... I mean, as much as I find this entire thing comical, you can't knock a guy for making dollars and supporting his family... although, I'm curious as to how many of the items in his online store were ever sold... gotta get that Marathon Meb gear!
