Honestly, if you get serious about running, you shouldn't go outside of Mizuno, Asics, Saucony and Brooks branding. Not trying to be a snob, just ask any avid runner.

cosmetically those NB's are nice looking though, Floppy, i hope they work out for you, but in all honesty, most stores catering to running won't even carry: Adidas, Nike, or NB. Seriously, i've done my homework.

my last few posts seem like BS, but just to conclude; I'm not saying anything bad about the others, but they've leached on to different sports, ie: Nike caters to baseball/basketball/football - NB caters to cross training and court shoes, the one's i've listed STILL make running their number one focus. It's the technology of the design and comfort that the avid runner needs. ... hopefully that clarifies my posts.

Contextual EDIT: I run warm-up miles/cardio work prior to lifting in the gym. The 993s are superb for that application. They may be too heavy for LD

Not true if you're into trail running. New Balances make some of the best.

Wow, okay, most DO carry NB and Nike, but I was told that they only had one Nike style and the NB's were trail runners. So...
But almost NEVER do you see an avid runner wearing NB Nike or Puma Adidas. It's a different age in running-technology, and they're no longer in the race. |

FYI: I wrote product copy for a major active lifestyle catalog that carried a variety of running shoes. That involved doing a lot of research on this kind of thing. That being said, it was 10 years ago... so things might have changed a lot since then. I am a pretty major gearhead, though, so I keep up pretty well with the industry still (though I'm more into trails, not pavement).

yeah, that's a big bonus, most don't offer that. Yeah, the technology HAS really changed. At least in regards to runners. But, I don't know, maybe I've been brainwashed over my last few purchases. But yeah, I currently own the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10's and I have had no discomfort and they don't rip up my feet. which is cool, too. lol |

Gym was ****ing crowded tonight. Ruined my flow a little bit until the crowds thinned out. Still got a decent workout.
