Making running fun…by making fun of it
Is your running shoe rotation feeling boring? It’s time to infuse your shoe lineup with some much-needed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). That’s right!

The U.S. government recently passed sweeping running shoe legislation in response to exorbitant price hikes in running shoes and apparel and the accompanying bitching by millions of running citizens—legal running citizens—the government assures you. The government is dubbing these 10 amendments to the “Running Constitution” as the “Running Shoe Bill of Rights.”
So, what does it mean for U.S. runners?

To help runners avoid shoe buyer’s remorse, I’ve so graciously outlined the most common decision traps for you to avoid. As usual, enjoy the tv and movie references sprinkled throughout.
