It's true, goddammit! I've become rather partial to canvas tennis shoes just because they're comfy and don't stink (as much as my other nausea-inducing shoes do).

However, both pairs of tennis shoes (Reebok and the other one with the stripes) are out to kill me. Their MO: tripping me when I least expect it by making those bloody annoying nylon-type laces come undone. Someone ought to write to the overlords of the south-Asian sweatshops that the companies call manufacturing units and tell them they can suck in their homicidal laces through their anal sphincter.
