Where do your Sneaker Loyalties Lie?

[faith]

Some people will swear by their sneakers...and I need a new pair for running. Just wondering which people use/would recommend, etc.

I can't vote because I'm confused. Nike look cooler, but I've heard better about Asics and New Balance and looove my Buffalo sneakerboot sneakers...boots.

I don't wear sneakers.

Yeah. I'm lame, but sneakers make my feet hurt like hell!

I can wear 5 inch stilletos like nothing. I'll run, jump, climb Mt. Everest in them. Anything flat kills my feet, so I need to have a heel for all my shoes.

I wear Nikes because they sometimes can look cool and I already know my size in them XD

I usually wear Converse and have several pairs of them but I also own a pair of adidas and Nike sneakers plus an awesome pair of steel toe silver Sketchers work sneakers. My vote went for other.

 

[Requiem Dreams]

I don't really have a preference, as long as they look cool. :p

But if you're looking for running shoes, New Balance is without question the most comfortable.

I usually hate the way sneakers look and how much they cost, so I don't buy them (and I run barefoot! ::kisaki:


But I recently heard that going barefoot can run you the risk of getting worms or fungus (though I'm not sure it's all that high when you're on pavement, and I always wash my feet afterwards, but whatev), so I'm starting to reconsider

I usually wear Converse, so Nike.

My current shoes are Converse rip-off Airwalks, though, but only because I couldn't find the converse I wanted.

Actually, I did find the ones I wanted, but only one of them was there (display shoe), and the store people apparently didn't know where there second one was.

My gym/exercise shoes are New Balance, because they are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever owned.

So you're a fan of Nike then?

My parents own New Balance sneakers and they love them! XD I used to have them too and they're really comfy. They last a while too.

I currently have Asics sneakers, and they're great. They're my first pair of Asics and they've lasted me for a couple of years already! XD Before that I usually had Nike but then I stopped buying them for some reason.

I don't have an allegiance to a sneaker because I usually just base my decision on whether they're pretty and comfy or not

I use...Vans? Slip ons.

I when it comes to running sneakers. but, i'm more of an etnies, dc shoes person. or sandals. especially high heeled ones.

Converse (low tops only), and the old boot-like Sketchers.

Other than that, any and all lolita boots.

I normally don't wear sneakers. I guess if I went to a gym I'd probably get a pair. I'd most likely end up getting Nike, because I tend to like the designs better, but I'd try others too.

Normally though, I wear a dressier shoe. They're kind-of like a cross between a sneaker and a dress-shoe? It's like being comfortable but still wanting some style. I don't know shoes, and honestly it's a pain buying them, so I don't have many.

Nice poll though, I was thinking I should get a new pair of shoes recently.

edit: Just for example, these are the types of shoes I tend to fall for. I really want a pair of these, but I always try on shoes before I buy them...so hopefully I can find a pair in one of the stores soon.

Same more or less - When I started this pole I forgot people wear sneakers on an everyday basis XD
Sorry I overlooked Converse.

I'm just about always wearing 4" wedges/stilettos or some form of boot...mostly because Karen Millen pants are cut long and I refuse to get them altered or wear anything else.
When I do wear non-excersize sneakers, they're the boys light up Sketchers or my limited edition gold Nikes ::kisaki::

I also run 20-30 miles a week and don't want to prematurely sprain anything, so I'm thinking New Balance might be the way to go?

Sorry I overlooked Converse.

Nike makes Converse, so people can just vote for that.

My friend's got these awesome sneakers. They're leather with flames down the side, but I fall over a lot in them.
