Finding *New* Balance

25 08 2007

Saturdays give me the opportunity to wear of multiple pairs of shoes.  Today I had four different pairs on. The day began on my road bike up a beautiful local canyon. Shoes: Specialized Roadies. (Glad I had my booties too) Next I found myself outside doing some yard work. Shoes: Reef flip-flops. Then it was back up the canyon for a late afternoon hike and pic-nic with friends and family. Shoes: New Balance “Off Road” 872’s. These are the best off-road shoes that I have ever owned: light, breathable and sturdy for the uneven and changing mountain terrain. These are the shoes of the day today: New Balance Off Road 872’s

The day ended by attending a friend’s wedding reception in a pair of brown Banana Republic loafers - extra comfy leather, although the sole is a little hard. Congrats to the New’s.

What did you wear today?

These New Balance shoes are pretty cool:
