I Remain a @Saucony Fan & Will Be Loyal for Life, but Phew! The Online Colors Versus the Delivery are Something Else. Hello, Bright Kicks.

Let me start off by saying, "Yes! Brilliant comfort and I'm ready to pick up running again after a 7 month leave, surgery, and slow recovery. These are the ones! They fit like I hoped they would. Super."

Ah, but the color ordered online, versus the color of in-person are almost as if they are two different shoes. I was drawn to the orange and red, because of my Syracuse and Louisville alumni-thing. I thought, "Perfect match."

This orange, though? I deserve all the crazy remarks I anticipate will come my way. Yes, these shoes can be seen from outer space. The orange is like something out of Wham's "Wake Me Up Before We Go-Go" video. They are orange highlighters. 

I'm good, and I can take it, even if my green Cross-Trek which is equally obnoxious is likely to get in a brawl with my new kicks. Call me Tropical bird man. I will be seen when I arrive, by wheel or by foot. 

Again, I'm so thankful to have kicks that feel incredible and offer support in all the right places. But, perhaps the website needs to be a wee-bit more honest. It's pretty intense how drastically different the online hue is to the ones delivered.

Now, I'm still afraid to take off, because I'm not sure I can, but these are the 'feel' for doing so. "Hey, Mr. Can you help me highlight my text with those shoes?'

Why, yes. I guess I can.

Saucony makes the perfect runner's shoe, and I've strayed from time to time and regretted it. These will definitely NOT be shoes I wear with jeans when going out, but will be the ones I move in when sweating. I probably can use them to play Light Bright, too, if they still make that childhood toy. 

Yikes, I'm afraid I will look funny when I start running again. Well, I have the shoes to match. 

For this morning...it will be just a walk. I imagine I'll attract bees and hummingbirds.
