running shoes offer no lateral support. you'd do better in a court shoe.

i know that. what i meant was what about finding the right show

i don't get what you are asking?

i only know running shoes.

Sorry. what I am asking is how do i determine the best shoe for me in basketball? I am as flat footed as you can possibly get. I can not wear reebok shoes because of their arches. how do i find the right shoe?

honestly, i can't help you with bball shoes. sorry.

How long is this thread going to reign above all others in this board?

until staff decides to make it unsticky. hopefully it'll stay, so we don't have a thread every other day asking about running shoes.

Just wanted to thank AggieOO for the original post...it was a big help.

I recently added a little bit of running to my walking routine and I used to get real sharp pain on outer-side of my foot. Checking stuff online, I figured it was Plantar Fasciitis. After reading the post, I sort did a self examination of my foot and took a closer look at my shoes. I don't know the exact name but they're Adidas shoes, and I noticed they had this wierd Torsion Control thing right where foot would hurt. So I switched back to an older pair of simple shoes and haven't had any such problems since.

So, from now on I'm gonna stick to simple, neutral shoes, and am thinking of making the Asics Gel-Strike my next pair.

Thanks to Aggie00 for the tip on the Saucony ProGrid Triumph 4 shoes. Tried a pair on, they are great!

Thanks Aggie00. I picked me up some 2120's last night.

Thanks also from here.

I went to Academy a few weeks back and tried on a dozen different shoes seening how they felt based on what you wrote about foot boxes, heels, etc. I wanted to start up again b/c I've taken a break since I started biking.

In the end, I ended up getting some Nike Air Pegasus...the same shoe I've been running in for 10+ years now. Still feel good.

right now I'm about 220. hopefully when I get back in shape I'll be more like 195-200. how long should I keep my shoes?

It's a theory. It's Probably wrong.

shoes last 300-500 miles. a good number is 400 miles, but you might be on the lower end.

you can pretty much tell when your shoes are worn out...your feet and joints can feel it.

Wife just bought the Saucony P/G Triumph 4's and loves 'em, too.

I have a new pair of Saucony P/G Triumph 4's I'll sell. I bought them at RunTex a couple of months ago and have less than 15 miles on them. I normally wear a moderate stability shoe like the Mizuno Inspire, but thought I'd give these a try. My feet don't like them. They are a men's size 11.5.

I had the Kayono 11's and they were great. Just got the 13's because the old one were worn out...I'm getting a blister on my left arch and I've never had this problem before....please note that I have flat feet and no arch....any suggestion?

the kayano 13 is two updates past the 11, perhaps the shoe is too different for you. try a different stability shoe.

a cheap fix might be to get some blister pads. but no guarantee that will work.

Had a bad heel blister a couple months back. I put one of those advanced healing blister pads on it for a couple of days, and it healed right up. Since then, I've been putting a moleskin patch on that spot when I run. No more blisters.

I really enjoy my 2120's!

had my first real fitting the other day. tried the 2120's, the Kayano, a nike something, and pair of brooks that I settled on. never would have tried brooks without their suggestion.

brooks axiom or adrenaline most likley.

adrenaline. I've got maybe 40 miles on them. been great so far.

Just got back from my first visit to Luke's Locker. They were incredibly helpful and I left with a pair of Asics Fortitude 2. I love them. Thanks for starting this thread!

AggieOO - Is there much of a differance in the New Balance 767SB and 767ST (other than color)? I saw some SB's at an Expo but didn't get to try them on.

as far as I know there's not a difference. The 767AW is the all weather version, but i think the others are the same.

Good information. Thanks for sharing.

00 - I finally broke down and got some shoes. My Frees really started to kill my hips and knees as I run more.

Luke's Locker suggested the Asics Gel-Nimbus 9. Got a free subscription to Runner's World out of the deal, too.

Thanks for the info.

What is the proper way to lace the shoes?
