but I guess they'll have to do. It seems, all products made today are not as good as they used to be in the 80's and 90's or earlier. I know Addidas is a quality made tennis shoe, but it seems all products are losing their luster and the prices keep going up... No Bueno.. I think about when even the lower end tennis shoes were better made than today's quality shoes. I just want to pay for a shoe that is good quality and going to last a little longer than expected, especially for the price we pay. Thank you for your time to allow me to speak freely!
