Re: [HJ] Hey... A Bit of Help... In General

Hi Dwight
 
A young athlete I coach just got his 'right foot specials' last week through the UK franchise. It took almost 3 months and £200 (around US$380!!!!). You yanks have it easy :-) Oh, to be in England etc etc.....
 
regards
Denis Doyle

As someone who jumped for many years in ASICS high jump shoes I have to agree with Denis that if you are a left foot take-off high jumper you can't do better than the ASICS high jump shoe.  Not that you can't get a right foot take-off shoe.  I'm an online retailer for ASICS and my experience is that it takes about 3-4 weeks for me to get a right foot take-off high jump shoe from Japan.  That shoe retails $40 higher plus the shipping is outrageous if I'm just ordering 1 pair.  I have a couple people who are interested for this spring and I'm about to submit an order.  If we have multiple pairs shipped it's much less expensive per pair.

Thanks for all the advice! I am a left footed jumper and so I'll definitely take it into account as I was looking around and had no idea if any were better...

Asics specialty shoes are sized for men so you'd have to go into a local retailer and try on some model of Asics spiked shoe in order to know what size would...
