On Starting a trek on the right foot


Am planning to take a break this weekend from work and go down to lohagad which is a fort around lonavala in maharashtra,India.Both my current pairs of sneakers have bitten the dust as a result of being in my company for too long(since b-school in fact).And so the search starts for a new pair.Zeroed in on this sturdy looking pair from Adidas but there's a New balance pair at a discount on the other shelf. Decisions. Decisions..trekked using a tennis shoe the last time i went there during engineering(blasphemy,i know but didn't have anything except my trusty k-swiss then.Does the brand still exist?). Those were brilliant-the carbon rubber soles meant for the court gave brilliant grip and the silicone rubber cushioning kept blisters away.It even had a heel cradle!Don't do tennis anymore,but sorely miss the shoe..Hope fila still makes them..It's still a strange thing to get nostalgic about but hey-we're quirky people :-)
