Oh noes! My running shoes are endangered!
Road Runner Sports maintains an endangered shoe list of models soon to be discontinued. With great sadness, I notice that my beloved Asics DS-Trainer XIIs are endangered, soon to be extinct.
Some may say that they are not a distinct population segment of shoes deserving protection--as they do not differ "significantly" from the Asics DS-Trainer XIV, soon to be released, and the DS-T XIII, which thrives on the shelves now. But those people are wrong. They are completely different and have special adaptations including a much narrower heel and wider toe-box.
Where, oh where, will I find a shoe to fill the all-important neutral pronation, superlight trainer niche in my closet?
