You're addicted to tennis/althetic shoes.  Trust me I have a lot too but I have to buy them from ebay or online stores as I need them in size 5.  Most store carried size 6 for women.  I want a under armour brand this time but they are mostly from UK if listed on eBay.

All these shoes are over the course of years.  I don't actually have them all of them at once.  But you are right that I have a lot of sports shoes.  My sports shoes wear out faster because I wear them more often and they get abused more.  I figure good shoes would preserve my health better. 

Which UA shoes are you looking at?  If you get some, give a review.  I am curious about UA shoes.  Also, is size 5 an unusual size?  I don't know much about women sizes.

UA does nice job at marketing and advertising.  They also look nice, but they I don't know how currently they perform.  I only remember they were the cheapest performance clothing on the market, sold at the highest prices.  It would be very interesting to hear from actual review, even if it's just a shoe.

The real villain is looking at you.  The last hero was just not true.  If everything works out in the end.  It's because all things make amends.

I usually tried to get walking shoes but they're ugly so I get the running version.  I don't see much UA style that I like yet.  I just want one from that brand. Women size 5 is usually not carried in the store but a size 6 is the starting size most will have it.  It has to be size 5 and narrow to fit and feel right on my feet.  My 2 best shoes are Brooks running shoes very light and mesh is good.  I never wear them enough like my flip flop too.

Their active wear are expensive.  I always wanted a sweater but the girl/kid size are too girly with sparkle designed.  Women xs are too big for me.  I just get my active wear from Marshalls as long as it fit.  I just stay home so I wear active wear/clothing most of the time. 

I don't know how their shoes performed either.  Beside they look pretty plain and unlike Nike where you got all kind of looks to choose from except I never do air max version.

I like UA's stuff.  I have quite a bit.  They have their cheap stuff (like all companies do), but they have their good stuff too.  I really like the MagZip.  Their jackets are well designed.  I like their sweats because they dry fast and they don't roll up.  Micro G is good (wears out fast though).  And of course, their compression gear is great.

Shoe Envy 3: Air Force 1

Who doesn't want a pair of Air Force 1's?  I would get a pair, but I never find myself in need of buying a pair.  I want them in the black and white.  Or maybe the white on white.  Them 3/4 lows are all tight.  The only problem is that they're only good for one night because once you scuff them you f***ed up your whole night.  Give me 2 pairs so I can go stomping in my Air Force 1's.

Shoe Envy 4: Converse All-Star Chuck Taylor

I had some cheap Converse shoes for most of my high school life.  They weren't the cool ones, but some cheap ones.  Now, I kinda want some Converse as a reminder to old days.  I want the black leather Chuck Taylor's, but I want the black/white logo not the red/white/blue.  I don't need them, but I would get them if I ever see them.

21.  The Generic Converse Shoe

If you've been reading, I have made several references to a shoe that I worn throughout most of high school.  That shoe was a Converse shoe.  I actually don't remember the model, but they looked similar to the shoe below.  I wore these shoes for everything; school, volleyball, ultimate, hiking, suits, etc.  I had them for years until I finally threw them out in college.  They were very worn out by that time.  Of all the shoes, these shoes probably took me the furthest.  I now have shoes that specialize for certain activities, so no shoe I have now will get the usage as these did.  They weren't the greatest shoes, but they got the greatest usage.

22. Rollerblade Maxxum

People are always coming and going out of my circle.  One of those people was into inline skating.  My friends and I are always willing to give any activity a try, so we also tried inline skating.  Some picked up some brand new skates.  For me, I checked out the used sports store.  Surprisingly, there were a lot of skates.  Apparently, inline skating is one of those activities people like to try but not keep up.  I chose the Rollerblade Maxxum. 

I no longer skate that much.  The skates are sitting in a box.  Maybe I should go for a skate this weekend.

23. George dress shoes

I was at home visiting the parents, and I had to go to some formal event.  I have some old suits at home, so that wasn't a problem.  However, I didn't have any shoes.  I didn't want to fork up a lot of cake for dress shoes for just one event, so I went to check out Walmart. 

I found some lace-less dress shoes by George.  I am not sure if these are the exact same ones, but they look similar.  The shoes look nice enough, but they are not at all comfortable.  I think they are still at home.

24. Asics wrestling shoes

These weren't really my shoes, but I inherited them for a short while.  My brother wrestled in high school.  I borrowed them for a few weeks for PE class when the class was wrestling. 

These probably aren't the shoes I wore, but they look similar; white on black.  The shoes were old when I had them, so I doubt they are still around.

Shoe Envy 5:  Reebok the Question

When I needed to replace my Iverson 1's, I was looking at the Iverson 2's or the Questions.  I eventually opted for the Iverson 2's, but I always wanted the Questions.  The Questions had a funky honeycomb cushion design.  They were quite comfy when I tried them.  The shoe had a retro release not too long ago.  I shoulda picked them up.
