GregOstertag Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 This thread is for all the runners out there! Right now I have been running with the Adidas Adizero Rush. It's a very light weight shoe, and has definitely helped me up my speed. Before the Adizero rush, I was running in the Nike Lunarglide+ 3s. This shoe had a lot more comfort/padding, but it was heavier. Anyway, I will be buying some new running shoes soon I think... I'm kind of a girl when it comes to shoes (sexist joke ) and I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations? Right now I am eyeing the Adidas Adios 2. I'm looking for a blend between the light weight Adizero rush and the Lungarglide... A light weight shoe but with a big more comfort.

Guest Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) I'm a girl when it comes to shoes. I am very particular with my shoes. I tend to get brand discriminatory because certain brands consistently perform better with certain fuctions. For example - for my high heeled sandals, I don't get anything but Michael Kors shoes. It's the only brand that I can afford that provides the best balance on the platform. When it comes to running shoes, I'm solidly an Asics customer. I went to a running specialty store - yes, that's all they sell - running equipment - and got my foot analyzed by the experts there. I have wide feet with flat arches and so I went with the Asics Fortitude which provides maximum support for my over pronation and it has a wide toe box. Recently, I tried on the Kinsei which is also very comfortable but it seems a bit heavier than my Fortitude. It was a lot more expensive than the Fortitude so I got another Fortitude instead. Most of my family is a Nike fan. My brother is an Adidas fan. I've had Nikes and Adidas through the years but none of them is better than my Asics. Now, I'm not a runner. I'm just an exerciser and a dog walker... Edited June 20, 2012 by anatess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to stick closer to the saucony brand and have found it to be just a bit better for what i need. They tend to have the cushioning and support i need that i nkow i could get in the Asics if they just fit my feet a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregOstertag Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Haha I should! But it's always good to see what other people are using :) I'll have to try some Asics out. I do admit, however, I am somewhat vain, so I do like my shoes to look good. Maybe it's because I am peacocking as I am still single. Anyway, I definitely need to find a running store close to me and find out what shoes would be best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windseeker Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I used to be an Asics fan, but now when I run I've been using Vibram 5 fingers and love them. It's switched up the running mechanics a bit and havn't had a hint of shin splints. They look a bit nerdy, even though mine are just black, so if it's all about the steez you might want to look else where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
