I'm curious to know what is the most popular brand of running shoe for BT'ers.

I wear Brooks, chiefly because they offer running shoes for narrow feet and ankles.

Asics is king, but Brooks can be....duke. Saucony can be an earl, and the rest are barbarian hordes.

Asics are the only shoes for me, I have worn Brooks before but and would again if I had too. The worst by far are NIKE, they absolutely kill my feet. They feel like a vise, I can't walk, much less run in them.

I see I am the only one using Adidas eh? Supernova cushion for training and Adistar competition for racing >> That's the secret for fast runs

New Balance and Nike for me. Asics made my feet pronate. I had Gels once, and curse the day I ever got them. My training shoes are New Balance, my trail shoes are currently New Balance (although I REALLY want the Teva X-1s), and my racing flats are Nike. I like the Nikes, good cushioning, but the upper is like....almost non-existent.

Nope, Adidas Supernova's here too. Adidas seems to be the only thing that fits my feet. The wild thing is that my Mum and Dad can only wear Adidas too. Must be genetic.

Newbies. Easier to get wide sizes in New Balance stores, in my never-humble opinion, and I need 10.5 EE's because I have gorilla feet. Plus I've need major arch support for my Liz Franc tear rehab, and the NB motion control shoes seem to be pretty good for that. I've had multiple pairs of 765/766's, but I'm going to go in and get re-fitted soon.

LOVE my Asics Gel-Kayano XII shoes!   They are my first "real" running shoes and they have made a world of difference.  I used to just buy whatever shoes were on sale - dumb, I know.  These are the first shoes that I bought specifically because they work for me - and they weren't on sale!

Interesting poll, by the way.

Been wearing Mizuno WaveRiders for years. I think I started with the 7 version and am now on 9. Wouldn't consider wearing anything else.

My current active running shoes:

Asics DS Trainer (2 pair)

Brooks T4 Racer

Brooks Racer ST

Nike Heyward (2 pair)

Mizuno Precision

Adidas Adistar

Puma Complete Prevail (2 pair)

Avia lightweight trainer (not sure what the model is)

Asics racing flat

Nike XC flat

These are just my active shoes, not retired shoes that are used for kickin' it. My wife thinks I have too many shoes but I think she's wrong.

Well, you left off Saucony...

I've had the best fit luck with Nike, but they have tended to compress in the forefoot badly. Same thing with the Saucony's I've had recently as well. Just a byproduct of my running style, I guess. No one makes ployurethane midsoles any more.

Well, there is ONE Nike model that uses urethane, but I haven't been able to tell whether it's a full urethane midsole, or just urethane plugs in the heel. I find it interesting that virtually ALL the research and money in shoes goes into the heel, and almost none of it goes into the forefoot (I'm a fore- to mid-foot striker).

I'm very interested in the latest offering from Brooks on the MoGo shoes...

I really liked my Nike Kantaras, but haven't been able to find another pair. My running store set me up with some Sauconys, but the fit took a little while to get used to (especially with the orthotics) and they seem to be wearing out faster (don't think I'll get 400 miles out of 'em.)
