Default T. Bob's build thread!!!!!!!!!

Actually it’s going to be a build tread.

I just bought a new pair of Asics running shoes and I wanted to keep everyone informed on the condition, weight and my personal break-in procedure. I’m a walker and do compete a couple times a year. I don’t run like you young guys. That’s just to hard on the shoes and it scares me. I just like walking the sequence.

I hope we can share all of our experiences on this topic and I hope to answer anyone’s questions. This is going to be a little more in depth than other build treads but please don’t hesitate to pm me with any questions.

Thank you flying giants for this opportunity.

This is how my new Asics came to me.
The shipping and condition of the box seem to be in great condition
That’s always a good first sign.
I think this is going to be fun tread.

It will be interesting to see how these new shoes affect your Foot-space Control Score (FCS)
When you start walking some sequences, let us know!

Sweet!!! I always wanted to read a build thread on these. Everytime I try to lace a pair I get thrown off and give up. Remember to take some pictures of the total flex up and down in the shoe!

Personally, I'm rather annoyed with all so-called build threads. Don't take credit for what some little 10 - year old Tai kid has already done. You can call it an assembly thread, and detail how you laced up your artw shoes.

I am really tired of all these stupid built thread pictures. Give us something new and not just the same old crap. I really like the pictures looking down toward the back of the fuselage.
