I had bought a pair of Nike TL running shoes about 7 mos ago from ebay.

The seller was in Hong Kong and guaranteed that the shoes were real Nikes.  When I recceived the shoes they fit well, and felt good when runnig in them the first time.  However, after maybe 100 miles of running, I started to get shin splints and other leg injuries I had never experienced before.  As well, the Nikes started to fall apart.  I had never experienced this with real Nikes.

After I got rid of the shoes, and bought new Nikes from an actual store, the pains dissapeared, and I instantly remebered how a true Nike running shoe feels like!

The fake Nike's I bought felt like I was running barefoot!  All this misery to save just $40-$50 on shoes.  I will never buy running shoes from Ebay again.  I just cannot trust the sellers anymore, especially on such an important part of my training equipment.
