I got a flyer in the mail that announced that PI was going to start selling shoes.

Anyone seen them locally or run in a pair?

all ive seen of them is in magazine ads... honestly, im a slave to cute shoes and i would not buy these, regardless of how comfy they were, just because they are hideously ugly.

sorry.

I've seen them at the race expo at a couple of local races - pretty sure a couple of the local running stores are carrying them.

Until now, I hadn't paid too much attention due to the lack of a motion-control shoe in the lineup, but according to this month's Runner's World, that's about to change. I'll be checking them out when I go shopping for my next pair.

I'm confused.. they've been around a while (select a brand and choose PI). But this new ad campaign is making it sounds like this is something new. dunno

For what it's worth, our local PI shop is getting out of the shoe biz. He said they don't sell, and aren't worth his time to keep them in stock. I'm don't think that's a verdict on the shoes, but if they can't get a foothold in the market, they may be hard to come by.
