Moda de Verano Gratis Rockland Luggage Rolling 22 Inch Duffle Bag (Misc.) I picked up this bag for an upcoming trip to Japan. I was gonna be hotel hopping so I didn't want to lug around luggage etc. I thought a bag that was roomy, could roll on the ground, and easily be carried was a great middle ground so I picked up this duffle.Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. The metal handle was bending a bit and flimsy when extended. After just 2-3 days (it was carry-on for the trip there... it wasn't even checked!) I saw some loose threads. At the end of the week in Japan I made sure to pack this duffle lightly since it was fraying and checked it since I replaced it with another bag I bought there. It arrived so tattered that it was unusable. I know that this could easily be because of bad handling at the airport, but considering I was watching it unravel as I used it I think the quality had more to do with it. Even if it didn't then it definitely is not made to travel and needs to be pampered. Not a feature I like in a duffle.
I need a shoe with a wide toe-box. These are SO comfortable. I just walked for 3 hours in them - first time I've worn them. I feel good running in them (to catch the bus). These are not the sexiest boots around, but they are pretty decent-looking. They feel so good on my feet, I could probably sleep in them.
Moda de Verano Gratis This model is my first experience with Brooks athletic shoes. I went to a local store to have them fitted and was sold as soon as the shoes were laced! This is a neutral shoe, but I have an orthotic insert in mine. The liner comes out easily and the fit with the orthotic is still good. I'm not sure if it was the shoe or the orthotic (perhaps a bit of both), but since I've been running in Brooks I have experienced much fewer running-related injuries. In my case, regular thickness socks work best. I've tried running socks, which are a little more padded in heel and forefoot, but this causes a little too much friction and tightness in the toe area. I suppose the solution to this would be to go up a half size. So, if you use running socks that are a little thicker in those areas I would suggest trying half size up. Otherwise, this shoe is great. I've been running in my first pair (with the original orthotic) for 6 months and they are still very supportive/responsive/comfortable. For about the first 4 months I was running about 10 miles a week, but now I am training for a marathon and am running 20+ miles a week. I got this pair from to start the transition to a new pair. I am very pleased with this product and will definitely consider Brooks again when it is time to replace my running shoes again.
