Right now I have Saucony Excursion TR4's. I've been wearing saucony sneakers for the past 2 years. They feel the best. Before that I use Mizono until they discontinued the type I had.

What does everyone wear?

I'm always interested in everyone's pref's.

    I wear the New Balance WR760. I went to a store called Running Wild and they watched me walk barefoot and what not and tried different shoes. I've had them for about 2.5 months and have had no more issues with my knees like I was with my old shoes :) They said I pronate alot.

    I've got Brooks Adrenaline GTS 10 in the extra wide width (happy toes!!) and I am starting to use Vibram Five Finger Sprints (also, happy toes!) but I don't expect the Vibrams to become my "go to" shoes.

    I don't even know what I have right now! :ohwell: I'm not brand loyal ... I have big wide platypus feet so whatever I can find that fits and is comfy works for me :wink:

    I also prefer Saucony, currently I have a model of the Pro Grid. LOVE THEM! But I always keep an open mind and try on other brands. The past 3 years I have always picked the Saucony brand!

    I don't wear sneakers (although I love that you call them sneakers, not tennis shoes!). I wear these bad boys:

    www.vibramfivefingers.com

    They're part of this whole "barefoot running" craze but they are truly awesome shoes. I desperately want to buy the new ones designed specifically for running (Bikila - and they're PINK! :love: ) but don't really have the $100 at the moment.

    Word to the wise though: If you buy a pair of VFFs, do not immediately go jogging or running in them. They use muscles in your feet and legs that you are not used to using, so you really have to work your way up to running in them. I wore mine all around town, around the house, on short walks, etc. for probably 2 months before actually putting them to the test. A few weeks ago, I ran maybe a total of a mile in them and my legs were on fire and sore for a day or two. But that's good considering I used to never feel like I got anything from a good run, aside from cardio and sweat. Now I feel like I'm building muscle while running!

    I love my Vibrams five finger shoes. It does take a little while to get use to them but they feel wonderful now.

    I just purchased my first pair last week. Since I was just starting out, I decided to go with the Sprint. I have been very happy with them and slip them on every time I am going out for a walk.

    Edited to say: Just realized that I was answering sherrie while also mentioning her first post (with the pic). I need a freakin' nap! lol!

    I too have made the shift to no shoes/minimalist shoes after years of injuries, and have been injury free ever since.

    I wear Terraplana EVOs for most activities (including road and trail running, basketball, and other indoor cardio), and VFF KSOs for running and martial arts. I like them both about equally, but give a slight edge to the EVOs because I don't particularly care for explaining my shoes to 20 people every time I go out.

    I purchased my shoes at Payless in January. They were advertised as running shoes. I've never worn a shoe this comfy! They are starting to become my regular shoes as my birthday gets closer (asking relatives to help fund a fitting for a pair of real running shoes). Anyway, mine are black Champion Scores. My mom calls them the Clod Hoppers.
