My guest today is George Vavritsas. With George we will develop one of the most talked about subjects of runners, the purchase of a running shoe. We will talk in detail and refer to the selection criteria, the technologies based on them, the difference between the shoes but we will also refer to various concepts and terminologies that will make us understand and also facilitate us in this difficult choice that we have to make .
