Runners: what type of running shoes do you wear?

vtate75

I just got my first pair of Brooks (ghost 4) running shoes, and they are awesome. I did a 10 mile run this morning...and they were the most awesome "out of the box" shoes ever. I've always worn New Balance before. So, what shoes do you like and why!?

I love my Nike Frees but they aren't for everyone. Truth is, there is so much variance from shoe brand to brand and even within brands that it is difficult to compare shoes with other runners. IE I once had a pair of Brooks that gave me runners knee walking thru the mall. They were good shoes, just not right for me.

I've been wearing nothing but Asics Gel Nimbus for several years. I've been curious about others but come from the "if it ain't broke....." school of running. (This in no way suggests that this is the right shoe for anyone else)

What you experienced (awesome out of the box) is how every new pair of shoes should be. Sounds like your running store did their job properly putting you in the right shoe!

Before I was actually fitted for a pair of running shoes I always wore Nike or New Balance, they fitted me in Brooks and I'm completely in love with them, I'm on my second pair. It has changed how I feel about running.

I don't think I count as a 'runner' yet, but I've been running for a few weeks and got my first pair of running shoes today. I bought them online, they arrived this morning and they were great - Asics Gel Kaeda.

I wear vibram five fingers because I like running au naturel from the knees down but want to protect the soles of my feet.

I just bought Brooks Adrenaline. I am new to running had did my longest run ever this morning 4.13 miles. This was my second run in these shoes, perfect out of the box shoe. I my Brooks.
