  1. It's track season at school - and our 13yr old son has been
    tagged - oh joy - So, we thought we'd get him a new pair of
    shoes....not cleats/spikes. Went to Kohl's - picked out a
    new pair - fits ok - brought home.

    Now - what's the difference between a "running" shoe vs a
    "cross trainer" - what to look for when you pick it up 🙂

    I thought it interesting that the New Balance model we chose
    CMX381C is not listed anywhere on the web - except Kohl's -

    Any comments, suggestions, links, etc are appreciated -

    Next will be a discussion over on the hiking newsgroup - Day
    hikes - shoes vs boots -

    sometimes, the shoe companies make shoes specifically for
    the store. you'll find lots of these at Big 5 stores. maybe
    the one you chose is one of these.

    i've had great success with the new balance 805 trail
    running shoe. it's good for day hikes. it's good for a multi-
    day backpacking trip.

  3. Dear Phil,
    Let's see if your limited intelect can comprehend this: Running shoes
    = running. Crosstraining shoes = crosstraining.
    Duhhhh?

  4. A lot of people don't like a cross trainer.... They say it
    is a mixed shoe and is not as good as either a true running
    shoe or a specialized shoe for soccer, b-ball, tennis, etc.
    Buy him a running shoe for track.... And make sure you go
    watch him.... They grow up fast!
