What do you suggest? Just started looking because my jogging shoes started coming apart.:cry: I'm looking at some New Balance cross trainers at the moment.

Everyone has their preferences. I like Asics, and I use one that has more stability, than a typical running shoe.

It is best to go to a store that has people that are actually knowledgeable about running. I'm lucky, because we have one here that only hires clerks that are experienced runners. It is more expensive than going to Walmart, but well worth it. (Walmart carries many of the same brands, and they are cheaper, but often because they are the low-end models for each brand.)

I just realized that my favs are like ten years old (where the hell does the time go?)

I'm not really a runner per say.....fluffy chicks look odd doing that, however I like a comfy shoe to exercise in. My favs right now have been adidas. The toe box just seems better. You runners should be getting new shoes frequently, or your feet will be BAD in no time!

I've had several pairs of New Balance shoes and I would highly recommend them.

Hummm well my son swears by the Nike Shox are the best at least for him. He tends to lean in towards the inside of his shoes had to have supports put in his shoes as a kid.

Actually just bought him a pair of them for X-mas they run approx $120. Those are the only ones he will wear and actually he bought me a pair for Mothers Day a couple of years ago and I like them as well to me they are good for walking. bigsmile

Sadly I have never chosen to be smart with my feet, however my father swore by New Balance. The nice ones can get pretty pricey.

my oldest nephew also swears by Nike Shox.he has about 3 pairs and his newest pair (that he got for Christmas)has the Shox on the front of the shoe and he loves them because he walks on the ball of his feet,so they're more comfortable to him
