A good pair of shoes

My favorite outdoor activity, namely running, requires only one thing. I need a good pair of shoes.

I tried out a new balance pair this winter, with built in winterproofing, and have been so happy with the result. The shoe is made for trailrunning, and has the best grips of any shoe I’ve owned.

I’ve found myself looking forward to moving down the slippery rock faces, in awe of how well the rubber grips to the diagonal angles.

Because I don’t get involved in most sporting activities, once that require expensive equipment, I grant myself the luxury of spending whatever I want on my twice annual shoe purchase.
