Hi everyone
I’ve been doing a bit of research, but I want to know what your opinion is. What running shoes do you run in: please specify brand and model. I run in Nike Air Zoom Elite +4 but am looking for a change, possibly to the Nike Air Pegasus or Asics Gel Kayano or DS Trainers. What have been your favourite running shoes and why? What are your suggestions? Thanks so much :) 10pts for best answer

HI. I’ve worn quite a lot of running shoes, mainly Nike, Puma, and Asics. i’d have to say i prefer asics the most. My current ones are Asics Gel - 105. I’ve also switched to Asics for footy boots too. i used to get real painful knee and achilles soreness, but since asics, they’re not nearly as bad. There’s players in The AFL (Australian Football League) who swear by asics. Tyson Stenglein, wears asics, despite Puma sponsoring his team, he just put the puma logo over them. Joel Selwood, an absolute gun, is a personally sponsored by Asics, and had severe shin splints when he was younger, and with asics, the pain was rapidly reduced. They certaintly don’t make you any slower, and they’re great for your feet and legs. Only shoe i know of reccomended by “Sports Medicine Australia”. When i was younger, i tried to wear puma, as they sponsored my Favourite team, but they just werent that great, and i had to much pain. Since Asics, i havent looked back. Im always going to get Asic from now on. Hope this helps. dveitch349
I always use Asics. They last forever and have good support. Theo Alexander
Personally I favor minimalist running shoes that let your body strengthen up its arches and muscles and feel the ground as opposed to built up running shoes that can over-support the body and let it weaken over time.
I’ve mainly bounced between Asics & Adidas (Asics DS Trainers & DS Racers used to be favorites, as well as the AdiZero line) but lately I’ve been running all my miles in Asics Piranhas. They’re made for racing but I’ve had no problems training in them once my legs got used to it. MB
