Stop bedding the truth Meb

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

In Meb's interview they ask if he is running in the Skechers sold in the stores. He mentions that they are modified, that his foot is more narrow. In other words, they narrowed the upper for him. Okay, but there is no way he is running in the 14mm heel, 19mm middle, 10mm forefoot shoes that they sell in the stores. Why can't he just admit that his shoes are completely modified so the people who look up to him don't go out and buy/run these shoes and get hurt?

I like you Meb, but you are losing my respect with this being honestly dishonest thing.

Where do you get these measurements from? That shoe may be curved but I doubt Meb strikes at the very end of the heel. And in the front, almost all shoes have significant less padding for easy toe-off.

Those are the measurements from Skechers. I guess if you hit directly on your forefoot and then go foreword it would be like having a 9mm drop, but I don't think it works that way. Have you ever seen people walk in the Skechers shoes, they move from side to side.

I think you're talking about the Sketchers "Shape-Ups." Those are not the only shoes Sketchers makes and Meb never claimed to wear those.
