Most of the time, they're asking for advice because they are unhealthy, and are trying to do something about it. To automatically dismiss an entire brand of running gear, Nike or otherwise, when it could actually be the one that would serve them best, is irritating to me. It's irresponsible. Just guide them to a knowledgeable and thorough running store, and let them decide for themselves.
I'm glad I'm not the only one irritated by minutiae.

If we couldn't generalize about groups, what's the fun in that?

Down with Nike shoes!
