I would not have chosen the sneaker I got either. They brought out 3 and put two different ones on at a time to walk in and weed out. I had to try all my best to think of what felt best and not what looked best.

I ended up with a grey and navy New Balance with pink trim and wavy shoelaces. At first I thought they were completely ugly. However, these just felt really good. As it turns out a portion of the proceeds go to Breast Cancer and the shoe laces do not untie. If they tell me they will be fine for outdoor use I will get a 2nd pair.
