I did write the company & complained on social media. The magazine I saw it in, Canadian Running, has pulled the ad & issued an apology to its readers. I cancelled my subscription anyway & it'll be a cold day in hell before Pearl Izumi gets a dime of my money. I buy at least four pairs of running shoes a year, which isn't a huge amount of money, but this isn't a huge company. Most of the runners I know who saw the ad are boycotting this brand. It won't take a massive number of people spending their money elsewhere to affect the bottom line!
