- I was wondering if someone could post the list of shoes which appeared in a
- recent issue of Runners World where they reviewed the new seasons shoes. I
- recall that there was a table which grouped most of the readily available shoes
- into catagories of runnign styles and problems etc. I would appreciate a copy
- of that table as I can't find any copies of that issue in the bookshops anymore.

- Thanx in advance...
