Need Shoe Advice
Need new shoes. Has anyone tried the Spot-bilt "Grid XT"'s. I am not a Nike fan and have had terrible luck with Rebok.

Annual Shoe Discussion
We seem to have this chat annually. This is all personal preference and depends on many factors - your size, weight, foot type (arch vs flat foot), etc., and can really only be figured out by personal trial and error.
I too am not a Nike fan (I run in Asics) and have found, per recommendation of Forum members, the New Balance 610's and 888's are best for me personally. I also rotate my shoes so as not to do two days in a row in the same shoe. Depending on the number of games assigned, my shoes may last a season or just a bit longer. Of course, this is JMO. Good luck. Hope you find something to your liking.

I will be getting 3 pairs so that I can rotate them as you do. In our association - everyone wears the patent and that also limits somewhat as not all styles/makes are available in patent.

I'm not a Nike fan either, as I have very wide feet. I really love the New Balance 601 (or maybe it's 610?). It's a low-cut high gloss shoe, but not patent leather. Rarely needs a shine. And the NB's come in 4E widths. Ahhhhhhh.

Why and who decided that everyone needs to wear patent? Just curious.

To be honest - I don't know. It was that way when I joined the association. I like the weight of the patents so just before the GREAT Converse shoes were bought out by Nike, there was a sale on the Converse patents - buy one pair - get a pair. In my size they had 8 pair so I bought 4 and got 4. Haven't bought shoes in a long time. I really loved those shoes. Last year tried a pair of Rebok and had major problems with them. I want my Converse back!!!!
