Shoes

[hawkeyegb]

Well, I went and tried on the Air Max tonight and the all leather are a little tight and Finish Line told me that they don't make it in a wide width. Then I tried on the other Air Max but it was the one that is the more stretchy material...not leather. Not sure if this shoe will be as stable as the leather. They look very similar though.

Do they make a pair in all or mostly black? Or will you have to blacken those red bottoms?

Peace

I do have a pair of Asics, all-black walking shoes in the make/model my feet require. Oft times I wear them to the game (Rec) or have them in my bag (HS) as a backup just in case of a blowout.

I prefer running shoes to walking shoes but to each their own. I think they are great shoes b/c they dont get very hot. Although darkening the reflective stuff is difficult. I like the Brooks b/c they are wider which fit my orthotics better but don't think they stay as cool as the Asics.

I've worn these for years. They go really well with my fishnets. Besides, they get the attention of the hot moms.

I no longer have the legs for that Mark. Age....

Go to CVS or Walgreens and pick up 2 pair of Futuro support socks. I had terrible shin splints the first year I worked a full schedule. Mid-season, bought 2 pair, wore them during every game and never looked back. I buy a couple of pair every year and still wear them today.

I would be careful with this site. It looks an awful lot like those sites that the spam bots come on here and advertise.

I have tightness even with the wider Nike shoe, which led me to New Balance. Although I've been wearing their mid-cut basketball shoe the past several years, they are a bit heavy. I'm looking at this shoe for this year.

Of course they are fake, that was obvious. But I did not even see a shoe that would be appropriate for our purposes. I only saw shows that were not leather.

Just don't buy any from that spammer that shows up here from time to time.

trial and error are unfortunately your best way to find out what is best for you.

Not true. You need to be evaluated for your foot pronation type. If you don't know what that means, then go to a running shoe store and ask them to look at the way you walk -- probably without shoes -- and give you an evaluation. If you overpronate, the inside of your foot turns inward as you walk. If you are neutral, it pretty much stays straight. Most people are some form of the former -- they have some inward movement, ranging from a little to severe. That's good news for officials since most of the basketball shoes sold by the Honigs of the world are cross-trainer type shoes that usually work fine for those that over pronate a little or a lot. The problem comes in for guys like me that are neutral -- we need cushioning and usually, a running shoe is the only way to get it.

That's what I wear and it takes a lot of effort to find black running shoes. I've found a couple and just buy several when I've found them. You may have to compromise a little.

Getting other's GENERAL advice on shoes is like asking if you can wear my pants or my shirt. Sure, but its probably not going to fit, just like the shoes I wear might not work for you. If you want to start getting a taste for what I'm talking about, google running shoe and pronate.
