Default What brand of sneakers to you wear?

I use to wear Puma's alot.......Use to get them as gifts.....But my all time favorite is Adidas they just fit my foot perfectly and have used the same pair for......Running, lifting and raquetball.....They are about to wear out in the toe so will have to look for another pair pretty soon......But have had them for many years.....Have even used super glue to keep them together....Nothing like a good pair of shoes......

That's an awfully specific gift. Christmas? Birthday? Or simply for a job well done? From your employer, you know.

I like New Balance but have K-Swiss too.

My feet are very picky about fit. I like the easy spirits if I am wearing womens shoes. My trainer told me to get running shoes for walking and the kind with the gel looking stuff in the heels. I got me some new ones at the sports acadamy. I don't even know the brand but they feel pretty good. Sometimes I get the mens shoes because they are wider from the top of the foot to the bottom. I like plenty of toe wiggle room. Never found a pair of New Balance or rebocks that fit well. I love Etonic (mens) but I can't find them in town anymore and I would never order them online without trying them on.

New Balance for me, too! Pumas like these in bright colors are big with the kids at the high school.

My oldest has arthritis in her ankles and knees and loves her New Balance! She has also liked Saucony for running shoes over the years.

I love Pumas and Doc Martens. Problem is that they cost an arm and a leg (or in my case, a big ass), in Mexico. I need to find me a Sugar Momma.

I've always had good luck with Asics.
They wear really well, and have good shock absorption.

I'll get back to you on that, E. Have to check the family budget, and the internet for some good Doc deals. Thanks.

Sure. I pack light so there will be plenty of room to fit a pair in.

No sneakers. The only shoes I wear anymore is Ecco Sandals. The greatest footwear I have ever found. Leather tops, compressed rubber soles, as comfortable as any shoe I have ever worn. And they last forever.

No shoes.

We all wear New balance in my family...Love them.

Also Saucony and Merrills are great and I've had a few pairs of those over the years but they can be a bit pricey.
