Tennis/Athletic/Sneaker Shoe brands - What's your favorite?

PastorMikH · 08-11-2006, 02:10 PM

Since this is a football BB, everyone should have an opinion on the topic of athletic shoes. What brand's your favorite?

I have been a lifelong Nike guy. However, the last 2-3 pairs I got really dissapointed me and I am a bit soured on them. Got tired of Reeboks 10-15 years ago and haven't bought a pair since. Had some luck with New Balance. My last 2 pairs have been And1's and I have been pretty impressed with them.

New Balance. Hands down the longest lasting, most comfortable, best fitting shoes I've ever owned.

I have a nice pair of running/track shoes that come from Nike. I like K-Swiss, if only because they have all white. My last pair of athletic shoes other than those running ones were Reebok. I think.

The new zips they came out with look very cool.

Shit that doesn't cost over 50 dollars.

I wear skate shoes like Vans (but not Vans) Power is probably my favorite brand. They are comfortable.

We have a shoe store around here called Tradehome Shoes. They have exclusive rights to the 905's. I bought a pair back 4-5 years ago and loved them. But dropping $100 for a pair of shoes is a bit tough for me to do. None of the New Balances I've had since those were as comfortable or lasted as long.

They rate the durability of every pair of shoes with a code, but I don't remember what the codes are.

When you walk in there, you expect them to jump out at you.

Most comfortable shoe ever is my Crocs. (The funny looking rubber molded shoes). So comfortable I bought their stock.

I just bought me a pair of Rebbok DMX walkers. They always seem to be the most comfortable walking shoe. Plus they have wide widths which satisfy my fat feet.

I remember living in KS, there would be these guys from time to time that would set up out of a van. They had shoes with ALL the popular logos for sale for much, much less than you'd actually pay for a pair with similar logo at the shoe store. I might have bought a pair, but since the lanquage barrier posed problems, I passed on the shoes.

New Balance. I have a pair that is more than 5 years old and they're a little worn but definitely still wearable.

I think the newer pair I have I got on sale at Kohl's for... $35? 45?
