Shoe Fads

I don't know if this is something the entire crossfit community deals with, or just my beloved little gym. Maybe I'm the only one who notices it. But it seems we go through phases where almost the entire gym is OBSESSED with a certain shoe.

There was the Onitsuka Tiger phase...

The Nike Free phase...

OF COURSE there was the Vibram Five Fingers phase...

Currently we're in the Inov8 (f-lite series) phase...

Makes me wonder if it's all about sharing new and better equipment, as we all like to think we're doing, or just about keeping up with the Joneses.

I'm starting the search for new shoes. I've been thinking for a few months mine are starting to look a little ragged, and my knees have started bugging me the last few weeks, so I think it's time. I'll give some others a try on, but I have a feeling I'm going to stick with my Tigers.

Farewell, sweet Easter Eggs... I love you.
