David, the owner of my gym and a trainer, helped to ruin my workout shoes. Yes, my $130 shoes that were only 4 months old!! Lucky for him, Tony bought me a warrantee...unfortunately for him, I didn't tell him that!
About a week or so ago, I noticed that at the botton of the shoe, one small portion of my right shoe was beginning to seperate from the sole. I found out it was covered by my warrantee but was going to wait a bit to submit my claim. Then I went to the gym this morning.
As we all know, I can't run too much and today was a pretty heavy cardio day. Instead, David had me do weight push...which is not abnormal, I do them almost 3-4 days a week! What did make this time different? Usually I will push for a short time, 2-45lb plates. For longer periods of time, I will push only one 45lb plate. Today, he had me pushing FIVE 45lb plates...yes, 225lbs, over and over, back and forth.
By the 6th trip, I noticed that my foot was continuously slipping and I couldn't push very well. When I stopped, he'd yell. So I would keep trying. By the 10th, it was almost impossible! When I was done, I looked at my shoe...not only had it seperated WAY more...but it had torn, too! So here came the agreement...
If I lose 8lbs in the month of November, he would buy me new shoes!
