Seems to me he won the gold at the Mexico City Olympics in '68. I remember him from my childhood.<br /><br />Abebe Bikila won the gold in Rome in '60, running barefoot. I think he was the first African athlete to do that. He's Ethiopian. Maybe some Ethiopian oleh has a resemblance to him, and you all could learn and run together.Mordechai Y.

Also, back then I was not yet looking into the, What do you use them for? you guys dont run, do you? a different sport?<br /><br />shaya - the studies show exactly the opposite. It seems there is not a single study showing the better the shoe the less the foot problems. All studies point the other way. The more expensive the shoe, the more chance of injury. The problem with the shoes is that they train the foot to step in an unnatural way and that causes injuries, sometimes faster sometimes slower. As they say, after 40 years of foot-shoe technology, injuries have only increased not decreased.<br /><br />Mordechai - I dont know what you are talking about.<br /><br />Jason - I will be emailing you. thanks.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-75453048975296711292009-12-16T20:29:36.068+02:002009-12-16T20:29:36.068+02:00You might want to also look into MBT shoes.You might want to also look into MBT shoes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-72420742500082002022009-12-16T18:36:16.145+02:002009-12-16T18:36:16.145+02:00Rafi,
