"The GORE-TEX® membrane has 9 billion pores per square inch, with each pore 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet. These tiny holes are too small for water and wind to pass through from the outside.... But these same pores are large enough for moisture vapor to pass through, so your body's perspiration is able to escape and you don't get clammy and uncomfortable," according to GORE-TEX.

You can save money, save time, treat your feet and your body, and try on 4, 5, 6…heck, try on a dozen different pairs before you decide what you like. Make shoe buying simpler. Experience selection. Talk to a PERSON. And get the RIGHT fit, EVERY time.

One beautiful aspect of running and walking is its simplicity. Good socks and shoes and a good-fitting bra can take you a long way (add water bottles and a energy chews and you can go a long long way indeed!) There’s no need for a field or a court or a team of any kind. Just you and the open sidewalk.
