Running Poll - What Brand of Footwear?

[vat_man]

Pretty simple question, really. For those of use who run, what brand of footwear do you run in.

I run Asics Gel Kayanos - love those shoes.

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

I have allways been a Nike kid

Right now I have a pair of New Ballance that are half a size too small for me. Other than that, they're awesome.

to sprint shoes count? (spikes)

I have a pair of Asics.

I'm currently running in Asics, though I'm incredibly fond of Saucony's shoes (I have somewhat wide-ish feet, and most of Saucony's shoes are wider than others).

About 1 month ago I bought some new shoes for the upcoming school year. They are super super great. I bought the new Nike Shox. Nike Shox D. They kick ass. Best pair of shoes I have ever owned. Very comfortable and boingy.

im using new balance 714's and they are by far the best pair of shoes ive ever owned. built in arch support and they absorb a hell of a lot of shock. $150 but they are well worth it.

Hey Dudebusta, our shoes cost the same.

 

[Dudebusta]

you mean you paid 150 US dollars for your shoes?

Yes, that is how much a pair of Nike Shox costs. You will not find a pair under that price unless they are an older pair. Well worth every penny though.

 

[Dudebusta]

thats about 290 australian dollars!!!

Oh yeah, your in Australia. I forgot. Do you not have Nike Shox down there or what? I thought people knew about them everywhere shoes were.

 

[Dudebusta]

dont know, they might be under a different name.

Gee - better not mention what I paid for my Asics (although it was less than that).

 

[Dudebusta]

i cant really see the sense in paying copious amounts for shoes that will wear out on 6 to 8 months of running.

I can - extra $50 on shoes saves $500 on physio treatment on knees. Easy.

I am going to keep these shoes until Christmas. That is what I always do. 2 pairs of shoes a year. Wear each for half a year. The price on these though Dudebusta is high yes, but well worth it. Best shoes I have ever worn. Very comfortable so I do not have to spend $20 on some Gel Insoles by SofSole like I do with all other shoes. These do not need it.

 

[Dudebusta]

, i love your logic mate

 

[vat_man]

Yeah, the ol' knees aren't quite what they were - years of keeping wickets for various cricket sides have taken their toll.

I tried some Nikes - forget which, one of the Airs. Comfortable, but they felt unstable. I also tried some New Balance's which weren't anywhere near as comfortable, but were much more stable - I'd have taken them over the Nikes.

The Asics had the combination of comfort and stability - there was really no choice, especially if I wanted to run on the road - which I do.

Got the City to Surf tomorrow!!

 

[Dudebusta]

youre keen mate, good luck!

 

[whitez]

i run in Nike Cortez.....very nice shoes

 

[Deathhawk]

I use saucony for my running, new ballance for my everyday wear, and asics or A really good pare of NB for my vollyball. I use nike for basketball, but only because I managed to get a 160 dollar pair of shoes for 80.

 

[Max Powers]

I have a really wide foot, so my selection is limited, I haven't worn Nike or Adidas since I was a little kid, right now I have a pair of New Balances, They're stable, comfortable, and wide. I like Asics too
