So, after getting my MBT's, I walked into a Ross store today with my wife. It was my first time in the store and just inside the front door was a shoe display.
"Too bad they don't have sprinting spikes," I joked.
Then I took two steps and saw... SPRINTING SPIKES!
Nike, New Balance and Brooks.
Plus a few pairs of mid- and longer-distance spikes and a couple pairs of Nike Free.
Sadly, nothing was in my size (it was a Little Red Riding Hood moment where things were either too big or too small, nothing was just right).
But I'm telling you all this so you might check your local Ross.
(I did walk out with a few short sleeve training shirts, though.)

NO WAY, Part 1! (more about running shoes)
My prolotherapy doc, Tom Ravin, suggested that I wear either Dansko clogs or MBT shoes because they would let my calves relax when I walked.
Well, Dansko is having production problems and I can't find a pair in my size. And MBT shoes... they're $250!
Just for fun, though, I went to our local Foot Solutions to try on the MBTs and see which styles I liked.
I put on a casual black pair (that's even be the name of the style), loved them and, almost as a formality, because I had no intention of BUYING a pair of $250 shoes, asked how much they were.
"This is a discontinued style and we only have this one size left, so they're half price."
Guess what I now own ;-)
