[quote=Anonymous]My son (10th grader) got his first running shoes last year. We went to Road Runners. Since he was sort of new to running, he didn't have any specific needs. We joined their VIP program and ended up taking advantage of their 90 day guarantee. Within the 90 days, there were holes in the uppers of both shoes. He ran cross country where I think running in the brush may have torn them some. And the staff at the store suggested his socks probably also contributed to wearing down the fabric. (So that is another reason to get non-cotton socks, to minimize friction.) I also think that the uppers of most running shoes are terribly flimsy but I guess that is part of them being lightweight. Most of his running is on paths so I don't think he needs heavier trail shoes. We were able to exchange for a new pair. His new pair ("ON" brand) seem to wearing better than his old Brooks so far.
