What Brand of Running Shoes do You Wear? (Page 2)

Up until this year, it was always Brooks because I have narrow feet, but I'm changing over to Loco  (www.locorunning.com). 

Saucony for 25 years, sure I changed over to Nike at one point, when I was not running.  But after about 4-6 pairs in a 2-3 year period, I decided that if I want shoes that will last I needed to get away from Nike.  I was paying the same total over the year, 2 pairs at 20-25 bucks verses one at 50.

I am checking on possibly getting something else, but I am very happy with the shoes.  I am planning on getting the next pair at a real running store and getting some help from the owner.  I want to be sure I am in the right shoe, since my milage is starting to take off.  I really don't want any leg and knee problems due to shoe issues.

I used to wear Mizunos.  I think the Wave 5 or something - for neutral strides.  I got those from a "good" shoe store.  They let me run around the parking lot a little and checked the wear pattern of my old shoes. 

Then, after going through PT for my knees and the doc recommended a knee brace, I made my way over to an even better running shoe store (Running Revolution in Campbell, CA).  They videotape you running on a treadmill...then view the tape in sllloooowwwmmoootionnn to see your stride in action. 

Switched to Brooks Adrenaline because I pronate.  And went up another 1/2 size, so my running shoe is a full size larger than my regualr shoes.

With the exception of some recent knee pain (probably due to ginding too hard on my mtn bike or sitting in a kayak position for too long), my knees have been pain-free!

Mine are Brooks.  They just feel best.

Edit: I forgot about my Saucony Fasttwitch and my Brooks Cascadia trail shoes,

.....and all this time I thought color was more important.....
