My last pair were NB 445's. They were very comfortable and worked well for me. I've never had a bad NB shoe so I felt pretty comfortable buying the pair of 888's online. We'll see how they work out. For baseball I really don't have any option other than ordering plate shoes online, nowhere to buy them around here. I ordered NB plate shoes online and they have been fantastic.

[QUOTE=Camron Rust;631206]I tried NB once after many recommendations from this board....they felt like I was running with a pair of bricks with slots chipped out for my feet. Stiff, no size fit well, and generally felt like the worst pair of shoe's I'd owned for a long time.
What number NB shoes felt tlike that? Surely you must have had one of the lower number pairs rather than a quality pair. That sure doesn't sound like any NB shoe I ever wore except for some real cheap ones I bought at Shoe Carnival once.

For the last 3 years I have worn the Reebok "the ref's" patent leather shoes. Late last season I started to have shin and heel pain after games so I have switched to a NIKE running shoe for this season. We will see how it goes. I went with the NIKE AIR MAX DREAM.

Lets face it ... we are a strange breed. A lot of people just don't want to buy an all black shoe... so if the aren't selling them, they won't be on the market long.

Bob is right. If you wear bad or worn out shoes you're gonna feel it in the knees, hips, feet, and shins... especially when you have knees like mine!

But, as I alluded to earlier, over time the materials the shoe is constructed from begin to break down. Those support characteristics can change, and that can lead to discomfort, pain, even injury. The onset of shin splints, when you're not normally prone to them, is one somewhat common sign that the shoe has broken down enough that it should be replaced. But, there are other factors that can induce shin splints: tight calf muscles, a sudden increase in activity level, rapid increase in body weight, a change in running surface, etc. The sudden realization that the season is only x weeks away, and the resulting panicked attempt to get into shape, can subject a body to many of those conditions...all at once. So don't take shin splints as an absolute indicator that the shoes need to be replaced.

I replaced my shoes because they were worn out. Could the fact that they were worn out have been the cause of shin splints and heel problems. Yeah probably. But I am also 29 years old and like to have something that I feel looks good and also performs well as well as conforms to my association's rules regarding the uniform. The shoe I went with has some silver on the outsole and the Nike Swoosh is outlined in silver. If your association doesn't permit that then it can be taken care of with a simple black marker or nail polish. I haven't yet decided if I am going to black out any or all of the non black markings on my shoes or not. so far I have called 4 girls middle school games in them and I haven't yet decided if the non black stuff will annoy me or not.
