My Entry

 

Here are my ratty sneakers (my legs are so dirty because I had just run a 10K trail race through the mud):

I need a new pair of sneakers SO badly because I have been logging 20 – 30 miles per week in these since JULY 2007! I have trained and raced in a sprint duathlon, 5K, two 10Ks, two 15Ks, and a Half Marathon in these very old, very worn out New Balance sneakers.  I actually bought myself a new pair of sneakers in September, but they didn’t fit my feet right and gave me knee and leg trouble, so I switched back to these babies.  The tread is so shot that I can literally feel the contours of the pavement through my sneakers! That’s why I need a new pair of sneakers so desperately.  If I could choose myself as the winner, I probably would. 🙂

 

SEND YOUR ENTRIES TO SeeBrideRun@gmail.com.  Due to the holidays, this contest will run from today until Monday, December 29th at 5 PM EST.  I will announce the winner of the  OnlineShoes.com Ratty Sneakers Contest on December 30th!

 

FYI – This contest is a precursor to another amazing contest, which OnlineShoes.com will run through their OnlineShoes.TV site.   The grand prize of the OnlineShoes.TV  is an amazing pair of New Balance 993 shoes.  I’ll post more details on the second contest ASAP!

    it is so NOT good for you to be running in worn out shoes….it could be one of the reasons your knees are bothering you.

  • Caitlin (see bride run) December 17, 2008, 11:38 am

    tami – i know!!!!!!!!!! it’s SO bad. that’s why i would pick myself as a winner if i could. 🙂

    So… I feel like a total moron because I didn't know that running shoes had a 'mileage limit'! My boyfriend told me that after a certain point, when you log too many miles on them they pretty much go bad! How many miles do you think the average pair of running shoes should last?
    Also, I could use recommendations on a good shoe. I have the cutest pair of Nike Shox. They are metallic and they have sparkle laces. That is why I bought them. They also make my shins hurt, so…I need help!

    BTW, your contests ARE amazing! It's so awesome that you're always able to hook people in need up!
