Couldn't agree more. also, choose the sport/exercise first, try it out and then ascertain what stuff you really need to pursue it -if indeed you want to. I walk. Turns out I hate walking in sneakers so good job I didn't lay out a whole load of dosh on them. I walk in cheapo sports sandals. But then I started tennis and sandals don't work so much and my regular sneakers didn't have enough bounce. So i went and found some that did. But had I shopped before I started in both cases I would have bought the wrong thing.
