This is the 4th pair of Patrick Marathon runners I bought from Suzuki online shop. The monochrome colour scheme and the design of the shoes are understated and stylish, matches with everything. I have come to appreciate and take for granted how comfortable the Marathon runners are and still the robustness of the grip of the soles are a new discovery to me. I was walking along a cobblestone paved lane on a rainy day last week. The surface of the cobblestones was covered by a thin layer of moss and lichen. My Patrick runners had superior grip even on the wet and slippery stone surface. Completely brilliant and I was duly impressed!! As with each purchase of Patrick runners from the Suzuki online shop, Mr. Suzuki was always helpful and patient. He reserved the Blackberry Marathon for me as the shoes was yet to arrive at his shop. I paid for the shoes on a Thursday and the shoes arrived on the following Monday in international mail. That is incredibly speedy and I am sure it was because Mr. Suzuki posted the shoes as the stock arrived at his shop promptly. Thank you Mr. Suzuki and the staff for making the experience seamless.
