[QUOTE="watdaflock?, post: 1420347, member: 53239"] aaah. Don't mind me, this was a fun conversation! I am being honest when I say fit and not weight has to do more with your feet/legs becoming tired. I'm a former jock who got college paid for (partial) and got to learn all this cool stuff with out any debt. I tried the office/cubicle/corporate trainer for a Fortune 100 company life (after college) but came to the conclusion I dislike most people and would rather [I]converse[/I] with cardboard boxes. Hopefully this info actually does help some of you in your next purchase. Take the time to get properly fitted and find out if you have any pronation issues. *The human foot combines mechanical complexity and structural strength. The ankle serves as foundation, shock absorber and propulsion engine. The foot can sustain enormous pressure (several tons over the course of a one-mile run) and provides flexibility and resiliency. The foot and ankle contain: [LIST] [*]26 bones (One-quarter of the bones in the human body are in the feet.); [*]33 joints; [*]more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments (Tendons are fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones and ligaments are fibrous tissues that connect bones to other bones.); and [*]a network of blood vessels, nerves, skin, and soft tissue.
