I've noticed that alot of the jogger type runners that I see out running are wearing Newtons or Karhu shoes. I past a couple runners the past few days wearing the same model of Newtons. I know nothing about these shoes except they're expensive and I've never seen some of the faster runners wearing them. Usually, heavier set females plodding with them or middle aged guys.
Are these shoes actually good shoes or do running stores try to sell these shoes to certain customers because these a high profit margin shoes or they're just trying to get rid of them off their shelves?
