To run in them risks a catastrophic blow out. It's new EU safety legislation, I know you like them. Also, if the footwear police catch you running in them, you could be fined. For a first offence, I believe it is half an hour's merciless tickling of the offenders feet with a feather duster.<br /><br />Vegetarian shoes, eh?
