Men don't buy new things, they replace old ones. That adage held true Sunday when Stan and Kathleen stopped at the New Balance store on Oracle in Tucson to replace Stan's aging tennies. We try to walk a lot here and stay in shape; flattened arches deaden the legs. We were delighted to find an updated version of Stan's old New Balance tennis shoes. We would have been happier if they were on the clearance rack, but, oh well, we paid the $139 for the pair. Four years ago we paid $159 for them, or $40 a year for walking shoes. Although a podiatrist might shake his head, Virgil would approve.
