I am coming back to the sport after a lapse and am baffled by the shoes that are sold today: they all look and feel like snow boots.
The mall stores seem to be staffed by those who are not really 'in the know'. Not to quibble, as they have all been polite.
If you aren't the troll that I believe you are, try using the search function.
There are no training flats. Flats are racing shoes that some people choose to train in.
For everyday training I would recommend $7 leather mochassins from K-Mart.
For everyday trolling I would suggest posing questions such as who is the best female who trains in flats or some other hotness related topic.
Hope you recover from your injury soon.
In my day we called them flats. Guess the lingo has changed?
Sorry to take up time in the forum.
Happy Spring.
