Day Twenty-Five: Running Shoes
Over the summer I created over 35 achievement badges for the Withings Health Mate fitness app.
Day twenty-five is Running Shoes!

“British company J.W. Foster and Sons designed and produced the first shoes designed for running in 1895; the shoes were spiked to allow for greater traction and speed. The company sold it's high-quality handmade running shoes to athletes around the world, eventually receiving a contract for the manufacture of running shoes for Team GB in the 1924 Summer Olympics - Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell won the 100 m and 400 m events, kitted out with Foster's running gear.”
