I have ankle and knee problem from old injuries and the Nike Shox don?t help much.

I own a pair that cost $245 USD, and I don't notice much different in them when compare to my regular runners at less than 1/2 the price. The Shox shoes are very comfortable & ultra light, however it doesn?t have more support than other decent running shoes.

The best money I found is a good pair of insole at about $20-35 to go with the middle of the road shoes. There are runners that can be had for as little as $50-80 that is well balance & light weight, and with good fitting combine with insole is the way to go.

Don't know if this link will work or not: http://www.finishline.com/store/catalog...ductId=prod504550&categoryId=catAdidas

BTW I got mine on sale for $65 at Christmas time.



Too Bad I have never seen an Adidas come in a 15. Which really limits the type of shoe I can get.

Yeah, especially since I had to get a whole size bigger in these. I'm normally a 12, had to get a 13, but man, they are so comfy. They really help my knees from hurting when I run, too.

One of my friends on the team runs in nothing but Shox and loves them. I myself cant vouch for them as I'm a New Balance whore :)

*Update* Went to a store for running shoes and they anaylzed my gait/arches/pronation (sp?) and I ended up with a pair of Brooks. Ugly as sin and not fashionable, but comfy and supportive as hell. Thanks for all the repoles! :)

I've never had a pair of Reebok shoes that felt right. Pump 2.0 though, that's cool. :D


I went to Finish Line on Friday to try them on, and I really liked the way they fit. Ordered a pair in a different color than what they had on hand (free shipping if you have them order it in the store), and they just got here today. The weather sucks so I'm not gonna take them out yet and I'm too busy to go to the gym today, but just walking around the apt I must say that they are very comfortable!

BTW, if you want to get these shoes without trying them on first, order at least a half size smaller than normal. My adidas are size 12, but I got these reeboks in 11.
