you'd need to be a runner to wear these, how else are you going to escape the inevitable wedgies you'd receive from wearing such a ridiculous shoe.

If you aren't buying Aasics or Mizuno then you are getting ripped off by paying too much money for an inferior shoe.

I am also looking for running shoes. I would like recommendations.

They will be actually used for running, regularly.

Are the zigs really that helpful?

I'd most appreciate opinions from people who run and who've owned pairs from more than one brand while running regularly in each.

Whatever feels comfortable.

Unless you're a shallow ***** who cares about how his shoes look.

Get the shoes with wheels. Then you can be like a hockey player only without the ice.

Aasics or Mizuno, especially Aasics if you have wide feet. Others like New Balance but I'm not a fan. The Aasics Gel and Mizuno Wave series of shoes are all outstanding with a wide range of prices.

Are Aasics the asian knockoff of Asics?

For a long time I though the stylized a in the logo that appears before the name was supposed to be part of it - hard habit to break.

I think Eminem wears these shoes. I was wondering what shoe he was wearing when he played live with JayZ on Letterman.


I am a big shoe guy. You can never have enough nice kicks.

Seems EVERY sport shoe company is doing zig zag soles of some sort. I think you should get some zig zag shoes while they are hot.

You used to sell shoes "back in the day", but are commenting about a shoe that is less than a year old? bomb.

LOL@KSwiss "Tubes".

Their R+D department was so genius with that concept. Let's compete with Reebok's innovative concept and material by cutting holes in our current foam!

Are these just ultra comfortable shoes? Im starting a job in a hospital next week, and EVERYONE that works there is telling me good shoes are very important. Ive got my running runners, but they are $230 shoes and I dont really want to be wearing them out at work. They are the most comfortable shoes I have worn, by a country mile, but again, dont wanna "waste" them at work.

I'll post what I wear casually.



As well as some everyday Lacoste shoes. The sport ones, with a strap for laces. They're ... okay. Meh. Prefer the high tops right now.

For sport. I wear these. Except they're a bright, royal, blue instead of orange.



Also going to pick up the Climacool for jogging.

Oh. Cool. So, Kia and Lexus are both crap because Kia is crap, so are Lexus, since they are similar, both being cars.

I tend to purchase an all-white skateboarding shoe of some kind because of they fact that they work best with jeans. The pant leg falls perfectly over that style of shoe.

Asics are good for running/jogging/running obviously but I think I'd rather have the zig-tech when I am doing heavier lifts at the gym.
