The “sponge” midsole broke down quickly. I wore them everywhere, which didn’t help their durability.

I scuffed entirely through the toe-cap while climbing on the concrete roof of Montreal’s Olympic Stadium during a field trip.

That led me to my first attempts at using Shoe-goo, a story for another day.

What were your first running shoes?
