Exploring footwear

Anyone have any luck with Under Armour?

I think Nike has the best running shoes. I've only had a few pairs admittedly but they seem to be the best.

Man, shoes are so individual.  It's best to go to the store and try them. 

 

My favs have always been Brooks Adrenalines (except for the 13s, they messed with em).  I bought a pair of Hoka One Ones in January, then I had to stop walking/running but the little I used them I did like them.  i need neutral shoes with a wide toebox, a narrow heel and a high instep.

 

Let us know what you find out!

I wear ASICS.

New Balance was recommended but lately I went back to NIKE after about 10 years. Outlet for cheap ones but change out more regular..

 

Sandals over flips still

i am flatfooted and have wide feet so I always used new balance but my current running shoes are Brooks Adrenaline (not sure of the number lol)  they were recommended by a friend and I love them!!

I am itching to buy new ones....I like having 2 pair of running shoes and I currently only have 1 pair...in addition to my gym shoes, cross trainers, and walking shoes.

Love sneakers  :)

I have a wide foot and am flat footed .....Yep the perfect gene pool ...only new balance for me :-)

 

Edit to add - the only ball shoe I can wear is converse ... impossible to buy here in Aus ... Last time a niece bought it when travel lining to the U.S. ... but next time.....

Anyone have any luck with Under Armour?  

I tried some Under Armour and did not care for them at all.  They really had no support and my orthotics didn't fit right in them.  I tried running in them one day and my back started killing almost immediately.  I had to turn back home and walk.  I wear them now just around for short errand trips & stuff.  If I wear them all day, my back hurts. 

 

I wear Asics right now for exercise, but I think I should have gone a size up.  In the past they were great, but this pair is not fitting well. :( 

 

Next pair I try may be Brooks.  I've heard great things. :)

Love Under armour apparel - shoes are too narrow for me.

 

Love Saucony for running. 

[babs609]

i was going to try Saucony next because I heard good things too

[Colleen]

Oh, I think I should have elaborated here lol.  I was talking training footwear, not running.  For running, I have a pair of Asics Gel Flux, the orthotics fit fine in them.  I have a pair of minimalist Brooks that I was wearing as a training shoe.  Probably not the best idea.  With the orthotics, my feet slip out of them.  Now I find myself with a pair of orthotics, an ice pack and no shoes for training.  I had to sit down in the middle of a class the other day b/c my feet were screaming.  I placed an order for these the other day and am crossing my fingers they work.  If not, back they go.

I wear ASICS.

Are they the same color as mine?

I wear saucony for running plus I have a pair for work and exercise and etc....I just bought 3 new pairs cause I waited too long to replace my work shoes and paid the price I think...my feet are now feeling better bit by bit. I have tried asics and they hurt my foot...I tend to pronate when I run and my suacony glide 7 (now glide 8) help me from doing that...I also have tried multiple other brands and found that I like the sauconys although they are spendy...but never be cheap with shoes when your feet hurt it is literally a pain and a problem that affects every aspect of your life...shoes are personal because one brand might work for some but not for others

[BAT]

Are they the same color as mine?

So, the UA sneakers came and I sent them back today.  Wasn't impressed.  Took the orthotics back too.  I came home with a pair of Nike Free Tr connect 5.0 and Hot and Cold massage therapy balls.
