Each brand makes shoes targeted with a lot of research and development for all sorts of sports and activities. And they are all good. It's up to you and what works for you with some testing. It's all subjective, but the websites of the brands try to help you select based on the activity and your pronation.

bought a couple Reeboks on amazon over the years, have not found a really good fit. Couple were decent to get me started in running and I still use 'em to date.

Next time I travel to the US, I'm going for a proper fit/assessment.
My feet are killing me by the time I hit 10k and the pain slows me down.

PB on a 10k is 65min. average is 70min.

I think a lot of things would factor into a proper running shoe. Weight, gait, pronation, feet width, terrain, etc.

For some reason, I've had better comfort with Reeboks rather than Nikes.

Cant get better than this!, I have a pair going on 5 years now, a pair before that for 6. Comfortable, lightweight and designed for optimum performance running or jogging.

Any local sellers ???

Nikes have always fitted me best out of the alternatives. My feet hurt with Adidas and I have tried the Kanadia 2 and 3.
The Nike whilst best fit is still not perfect.
Eyeing a Puma next time I buying a running shoe.

I like the brooks selection tool.

Any local sellers? Won't mind trying it on for fit first.

Postby **crazybalhead** » May 22nd, 2018, 11:10 am

I have a pair of brooks and a pair of saucony's that I alternate. When you run a lot and use one shoe, your body get's accustomed and can be more prone to injury. Micro changes between the shoes forces some adaptation and flexibility.

That being said, you need to determine WHAT you want the shoe for rather than the brand. You already know, so i would say try on a few and see how they feel. Take a lil jog in the store too. Even after all that and owning several pairs of saucony's, I still got blisters for the first two runs on my current pair.

Plenty stores in TT have decent shoes, like Sports and Games and Sport outlet. Some even have knowledgeable people (but don't count on it).

Enjoy, and happy shopping.

VexXx Dogg · Postby **VexXx Dogg** » June 3rd, 2018, 12:28 pm

How far do you guys run?

I'm comfortable at 10K. Pushed hard to 14 once or twice, but I felt like sheit after. I hope to make the UWI half one day, but that's double my comfort zone!

Wolverine lighter so more speed with less effort.

As for running from police..... Champion is the way. Comfort and plenty traction

Exact same condition.

My 10k is snail slow though. But I try to do a 10k once a week at least and a couple 5's in between.

VexXx Dogg · Postby **VexXx Dogg** » June 4th, 2018, 3:44 pm

How slow we talking. I feel like a snail sometimes when I watch marathoners' pace.
My absolute best 10k was at 1hr 3 min. I try to keep it below 1:10.
Best 5K was 30 flat.

I usually run once per week at 10k, and ride on a sunday about 60k, but I want to include a midweek 5k to mix things up
