What did it say about her salary? Control+F isn't working and I don't feel like reading the whole thing.

HOKA's US 800/1500 stable is probably 4 times the size of New Balance's.

Name me the top US 800 or 1500 runner that wears NB....

As has been pointed out, the only one with a WC gold AND silver at 1500. NB also had two WC finalists in the steeple and a total of 5 American TFN top 10 world rankers last year at 800/1500/steeple. Nothing against Hoka but they are not in that league yet.

Go straight to heck, Medical doctor. You go get into a deposition and have everything you say recorded into a transcript and see if you come out unscathed. Jerkwad.

Why don't you fly in a Microsoft techie to fix it for you?

I guess that means he'd go to Spira if they hadn't recently gone belly-up. Boris, why don't you call Oiselle? I read in Outside Online that their stuff fit very well.

Tom Lancashire (3:34, 1500m) is with New Balance.

Brenda, $300,000/year

You actually read the homework assignment!1 I'm impressed!

Nobody said you had to race in the Hokas though I race in them often. Last year I raced in Saucony about 35 times. That would mean I ran in Hokas the other 330 days.

If they are a little harder to run in, that would be a benefit. I can feel it more when I am running on a soft surface like grass. Most of the time I am on the roads and really happy to have the extra cushioning.

I've been running in them 3 years and wouldn't even think about switching.

I think I've read every doc that has come out related to this case (or, rather, thought until now , and I haven't seen that number anywhere. Do you have the link/page # for that info? If I missed it, I'm curious to see it in context.

Also, does anyone have a link to the text of the deposition that includes pages 33-36? They're missing in the above link.

Sick burn, Boris.

depends on the "speed". Most Hoka runners are running long and slow....7:00+ minute pace.

Listen man: I admitted that I left out the word male. Berian is a dude so let's compare apples to apples here.

Also, the entire point of my post was to discuss BORIS BERIAN'S sponsorship. You are basically saying he would be the only US male 800m runner sponsored by NB. If he went to HOKA, they at least have Mike Rutt.

Just out of curiosity, do you have normal shaped feet? Because I've run in the Clayton's and the Bondi's and I found them the worst fitting shoes I've every run in in my life. The cushioning is fine (except on the track, where it you do tend to feel as if you're running in a tub of marshmallows.) But otherwise, blister city. While my forefoot is a little wide, I've run in every other shoe out there without difficulty, including Adidas, which are often a little narrow. I just wonder how they decided to shape the shoe the way they did and how it can be that other people are fitting in them. Maybe Berian is size 11.
