Picking the Perfect Shoe

You've been running before, but it has never felt right, 
You saw a commercial on the paid programming last night.
It said something about the perfect shoe,
And how it would help to make a healthier you.
At first glance it seemed too perfect to be true,
That you had finally found the perfect fitting shoe.

The price said 4 easy payments of 49.95,
A price so egregious, you threw up inside.
But with a price so high, the shoe must be good,
You picked up the phone, just like they said you should.
You were running out of time for that perfect healthy you,
When you finally realized, that's not how you buy a shoe.


But how do you a buy a shoe, and does one type of shoe work for all?
No, they don't, but with this helpful guide we can save you from a fall.
First off, what type of arch do you have?
Are you flat footed, and walk like a calf?
If you are flat footed then a motion control shoe is for you,
If you have an high arch, you will have to try something new.

A cushion shoe will make your high arch sing,
As well as making you feel just like the King.
Thank you, thank you very much,
An average type of foot, you need some different stuff.
The type of shoe for that is a neutral type,
You can learn all about it over skype.

Now you are ready to go blow your money,
Good shoes are expensive, it's not even funny.
After trying on dozens of salesmen pitches,
You realize that you are not blessed with deep riches.
Some shoes feel great and others less so,
Wait this one's on clearance, just buy it and go.
