You know what pisses me off??

Listen.
I buy running shoes for one reason, and one reason only. To run. If I didn't want to run, I would wear non-running shoes. Common sense to me.
Because of the miles that I tend to put in on my shoes, I check all the shoe reviews before I make a purchase. And this is what pisses me off.
I'll go to a shoe review site for the latest Mizuno or Adidas release for example, and see what other users have to say about it. I'm wondering about things like blistering, cushioning, how long that cushioning is going to last when the miles start adding up, whether it's going to cause shin splints on a bigger runner like myself.
But all over these sites, there are asshole reviewers, nurses usually, talking about how great these runners are for their jobs when they're on their feet all day.
Stay off the damn running review please!
By reviewing these as a work shoe you've told us 3 things about yourself. 1) You don't run. 2) You don't really do anything other than work. And 3) You're too stupid to realize that wearing a high performance running shoe for standing at work is excessive, pointless, and ill informed.
With that said, I've given up reading reviews by mall walking seniors and obese nurses of the latest marathon rated Asics number, and I'm going to bed.
