Hey, does anyone has any recommendations for a good pair of running shoes that will last? I have used New balance in the past, but was curious if there was something  else in comparison.
Thanks.

Nothing beats saucony Hurricanes.. I buy a new pair every 6 months which is recommened if you run alot.
 
I ONLY run is these.. they come out with a new model every year. they are soooo amazing
 

Saucony is a terrible brand! Ya have to go with Asics!

Are you serious??
 
Mike you have no idea what you are saying… saucony hurricanes are the best at least for me…
 
I bought the best pair of Asics…. (I am not saying they are bad sneakers). They are known to be great however they were not meant for my foot… I made all my friends switch to hurricane pro grid sauconys and they LOVE me for it… It helped them get rid of shin splints, knee and back pains…
 
They might not be for everyone but they are certainly GREAT sneakers if they are a match for your needs (depending on your foot, arch, width ect)…
 

I agree with that. IT all depends on your type of foot and whatnot. But, there ARE also Asics shoes that fit all types of feet. It’s not like they just allow for one foot to where their shoes. I am just saying from a looks standpoint those things are ugly hahaha! :)

first off thats mean!! i wear them!!
 
they are only my gym sneakers and i liek them!!!
 
i wouldnt wear them out or anything but i am insulted! lol
 
i know asics are great so i wont argue.. the pair that i got were not good for my foot thats all..
 
but trust me.. try these saucony hurricanes.. i dont think you will go back to asics .. just saying

 I have heard that saucony was a good shoe.
We are not training to be fashionable.
I got a new pair of New Balance for Christmas, and literally have worn them to the ground….
I love them.
Mike have you ever tried Saucony on?

hmm did they really help with back pain?
I have had some back problems and do wonder if it has something to do with the shoes i have worn..

Yes, you say “we are not training to be fashionable.” But, you would be EXTREMELY surprised to find out how many people cite that as one of their major concerns while working out. Many, MANY people who are afraid of going to commercial gyms say that they feel they don’t wear proper workout attire, etc, and would feel weird. Also, they just feel out of place in crappy gear.

welel saucony is not crappy gear at all.. i dont even think they look that bad.. those shoes that look like feet are another story (thats weird)… MIke, if you never tryied sauconys on then you have no right to give your opinion (other then your fasion opinion) ., they really are amazing

Sauconys ARE ugly, and I used to wear them a lot! So my opinion does count a little bit. A lot of times it is truly hard to find a good pair of running shoes (With great support) for under $60

yes! Very hard to find good running shoes under 60  …these bad boy hurricanes are about $120-130…
 
I don’t care what you say… they are awesome and if you are a true athlete or runner you dont care about looks! Performance is were it’s at… these sneaker perform BUDDY
 
!!

I agree it’s hard to find a good pair of running shoes under 60.
But guess what I found this weekend?? (i didn’t buy them but came close) Saucony’s at TJ Maxx… They were 40 bucks, and they were athletic running shoes, sorry can’t remember the type but they looked very nice.
I thought of you laura…
i think what is comfortable for each individual person is what matters…as long as they are having a good workout with comfortable shoes that is what is important.. ugly not ugly your feet need to be comfortable…

AGREE LAURA!!! :) Nothing against Mik’e post, but a good athelete doesn’t care when they are at the gym if his/her shoes are orange or purple, as long as they are comfortable …. 

Maybe if they were pee green I might object, but as the saying
goes:
“It is what it is”….

 
 
awesome!! but keep in not all sauconys are the same.. they ahev some really cheap ones that are not great for running.. i usually go online and buy last years model.. sooo much cheaper.. they might look a little different but i dont care about that.. i buy a new pair every 6 months.
 
How many times a year do you change your sneakers.. i notice a big differance when i have them

I have been getting new sneakers which im due now every 6-8 months. I know a ot of people go longer than that , but they wear down real quickm as much as I workout. Alkso I wear my sneakers sometimes just with my jeans cause they are very cumfy for walking…
Have you ever bought a pair of New Balance?

i never wear my workout sneakers outside the gym.. i try to keep the life of them going lol
 
I use to buy new balance but i have been loyal to my sauconys.. i have been buying the same pair for 3 years.
 
why which new balance do you like

That is a GREAT tip! to never wear your running shoes outside of when you are running. So many people use them as everyday shoes as well as their workout shoes…nooooo

ok my bad but i don’t wear them for every day use just sometimes, because yes you do need to keep your sneakers running shoes for the gym…

I love my new balances I have literally worn them to the ground, the brand I have is Stabilcore 1226, not sure what it means but they are so comfy, great workout shoes.. Everybody needs to find what shoe works for them. :)

they look pretty good.. i might give them a try in a store
 

I think ya gotta go with the orange ones! Orange shoes are the coolest looking. Not solid orange, but, stripes of orange!

o now! you are getting really picky! i do like orange though! i didnt see them…

I like the nike trainers
 

max.. which one are these?? i tried looking them up and found a bunch of different sneakers.. can you upload a picture?

I tried but my comp wouldnt let me copy it, Ill try to find a link. There pretty popular so you will probably recognize them when you see them.

you cant copy and paste on the actual thread 
 
however when you click reply. on the bottom tool bar to the Left of the letter (A) click tab, it will say “insert/edit image” 
 
thats were you will copy and paste the link
 
When you look up a picture on the internet make sure to click the tab that says “full size image” it is always on the right side of the page..  use that link

Running shoes are like pasta sauce to many different kinds of people, feet, types of running. Find a good specialty store where people actually run who sell the shoes and know what you are looking for. Take an old pair with you. To look at wear patterns.

ohhh good idea!! i never thought about bringing my old pair to see were it wears!!! GREAT IDEA!!
 
I have plantar fasciitis which stinks.. i have good days and bad days.
 
Sometimes i thinks its getting better only to find out the next couple days its not..
 
its my fault because when i think it gets better i do hiit sprints which is sooo dumb!
 
i know i should rest but i am being foolish.. I love my saucony hurricanes.. i really dont think thats the problem but its a good idea to bring them into a sneaker store..
