I bought a pair of very comfy Brooks S257 shoes at the Foot Solutions store on W. Broadway a few months ago. None of the New Balance cushioning shoes fit me anymore. I had no idea Brooks made high-end runners. When I was there before I tried on some MBT shoes (Mosaic Barefoot Technology). I had seen a pamphlet about these shoes in my physio's office. If you have back problems these shoes relieve any type of back discomfort as I found out when I tried them on. They felt sooooo good. But the only thing was they cost over $300!!! The shoes didn't fit me properly but the sandals did. Man, I was dreaming about them for days! These shoes are also good to correct your posture and give you a bit of a workout too.

Anyways, I was on my way to the Foot Solutions store and had to stop at the Dan-D-Pak market. I had no idea a market with so much Dan-D-Pak stuff existed. I've seen a few items before in Save-On like their rice crackers. It was so cool walking around in there. I stocked up on unsalted almonds and peanuts :)

I wanted to buy another pair of the Brooks runners but they've already changed that model! I had to get the guy to stretch the current model before I bought the pair. Darn, I should've gone there earlier. This always happens to me as I find a pair of good shoes and then the next model gets changed and doesn't fit as well.

I have Brooks runners too. I just picked a new pair of the same model I had from a few years ago, but had to go up 1/2 a size for some reason (probably the post-baby thing, but who knows).

Where's the Dan-D-Pak store? I love their rice crackers! I didn't know they made other stuff. Now I've gotta go check it out.
