whats the bet they cost an arm and leg

They're probably heavy too, i had i Timberland puffa jacket once and was surprised when i retired it how much lighter the North Face replacement was. In all honesty if i wanted to look cool down the park with my 2l of Frosty Jack's i'd buy Timberland, but for performance there are better brands.

here's the spiel
"When you are running on a smooth road, even though there is lots of jarring, your arms are close to your body and you are quiet from your waist up, conserving energy," Clark says. "You watch trail runners and their arms are out here bouncing around so they don't fall down." Trail runners look awkward, Clark realized, because road running shoes have soft midsoles and hard outsoles, which work fine on a paved road but make trail runners flail. What does work? The opposite--a harder midsole and a softer outsole. Clark took his inspiration from watching car commercials. The differences in performance between various vehicles--"You don't take a Cadillac to the mountains," he says--would suggest you don't take a road running shoe up to the mountains. By contrast, the vehicles you do take off-road--rock crawlers--have soft tires and independent suspensions for flexibility and stability.

Clark figured that if a soft tire can keep a rock crawler upright, maybe a soft outsole--Timberland calls it "soft against the ground"--could do the same for a trail runner. He created a shoe with a soft, springy outsole. It's designed to keep you stable on uneven surfaces so that your body stays vertical and your ankle doesn't snap when you step on a moss-covered rock. "The first need of a trail runner," says Clark, dryly, "is to not fall on his ass." He and his team also made the shoe as light as possible. In a visitor's hand, the silver, black, and yellow shoe, despite 12 sizable, independent, rock-hugging lugs on the outsole, feels almost weightless.

Oh bugger, I've shaken a load of shoe geeks out of the trees . I personally don't give a shit about the running shoes but liked the advert and the idea of outrunning the wildlife in a forest.

Anyway, carry on 'geeking'...... saddos
