Shoes

I have been using shitty cheap shoes, and work boots for far to long, and I am looking into getting a good pair of cross trainers or other walking shoe as I enjoy getting out and just going for a walk when work, and weather permits. I am looking for something light weight, durable, supportive, and comfortable.....don't have a preference in brands though. I know people's feet vary greatly, but I just wanted to hear some reviews or suggestions from others. What is your walking shoe of choice and why?

 

New balance 410 very nice and comfortable lots of support.

 

Also their all black. So no crazy ass colors or shiny bullshit.

 

i like new balance i got a decent pair for 40 bucks however they lasted me about a year i bought them at dicks sporting goods make sure you mesure your foot right i had to get mine a size bigger and xtra wide because your feet start to swell after long walks or runs.. they also have insoles that help alot to if your going to be driving hard.. keep in mind that the pair got where only 40 bucks and i put the min of 800 miles on them so i guess it wasnt to bad of a deal.

 

btw im going back for anothor pair so i do reccomend...

 

And I thought this was a thread about me... I too like new balance though.

 

Egotistical jerk! JK, man, lol....

I'm going to the city tomorrow for awhile to do a couple things so I am going to stop by a shoe store and check out a few shoes. Thanks for the suggestions I will take them into serious consideration while I am trying them out. CG, I too also hate those loud ass shiny clown shoes.

 

I've gotten 3 pairs of new balance, in the last month. I like all of them. Just make sure you get a nice comfortable pair. I were my boots alot. And the 410 model are seriously great.

 

New Balance are the only way to go..Light weight comfortable and they last a damn long time, Only shoe's i'll buy .

 

as far as comfort goes id say skater shoes (osiris) super comfy! if you want cmfy combined with ankle support go get you some J's! reallyits only the retros that come out in the obnoxious colors, but just some regular jordans....cant go wrong. they gonna hit you a good 70-100$ tho!

 

anything made out of a vibram sole will outlast anything you can invest in short of tire treads, they won't be cheap, but you get what you pay for, especially for rugged settings

 

New Balance is also one of the few companies that make cross trainers in different widths, like dress shoes.

 

True you can go into any store that sell's them and get double ee or 4 ee

 

I average going through about a pair a month. I have different pairs for different things. I train, train others, hike, condition dogs, etc.

If your on your feet for most of the day, training, running, or just need good general footwear the I strongly suggest you buy a good pair. Foot problems travel up. Some symptoms from wearing the wrong footwear are sensitive balls of foot or sensitive heals, shin splints, knee joint discomfort, and restricted hip mobility.

Gels are not an Answer to problems and and will not help if your foot wear arch doesn't match your foot, if you are an over pronater, or if you have wide feet with toes that need to splay.

I recommend for everyone to own a pair of Sanuks. Look them up they are very comfortable on feet and easy to wear for general quick use.

For performance I am a fan of Nike, Asics, and Brooks

The Vibrams workers are great for guys that work on their feet all day in the elements.

Hope this helps somebody.

 

Nike free run series or Inov8 195 or 230. Superlight shoes that durable and good on your feet

 

Checkout the Adidas GSG9 shoes... They are worn by many SWAT teams all over the world. Lightweight, great support around ankles, durable and all black... http://www.google.nl/search?q=adida...XJ0QWQsLWzCg&ved=0CD0QsAQ&biw=320&bih=416#p=0

also i have fancied getting a pair of karrimor ksb peak event"s for the autumn.

 

Have these since two months, always a timberland fan tought i'd try some rockports now. http://www.onlineshoes.com/mens-rockport-range-trail-dark-brown-p_id193830
Great shoes, especially somewhere cold.
For the summer i prefer asics running shoes. The range in both price and models is ridiculous !

 

For city walking my old school jet black J's. If hiking in the woods gortex timberland crosstrainers. The tims are gray with a little color on the tongue but nothing clownish. Finish line or Dicks
