However, he spent alot of time with me today and I walked out without buying anything from him and got lots of pointers/tips to help with my arches, my toes, my shins. I don't necessarily feel obligated to him, but he does give club members a good discount and he even was trying to find me a pair of last years Beasts to get into for almost half the cost ($50) but didn't have any luck.<BR/>I'll try to explain the lacing thing in my next post.Randy - Maniac #788https://www.blogger.com/profile/17252189707697252110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38631921.post-85276601083743067452007-06-29T18:12:00.000-05:002007-06-29T18:12:00.000-05:00Ohhh dear, what is Lisa talking about?

He has not had a problem with shins or anything since wearing them. I keep trying to talk my store into the Ariel's (women's version of that shoe) for me but they say I don't need them. But I have heard great things about the Beasts. <BR/><BR/>Can you give us the taping tips and lacing tips? :>)<BR/><BR/>I know, that Marcy is one funny chick.
