Sports shoes – what’s your favourite brand?

I need a new pair of runners. I’ve had Nike’s for ages but am looking for another brand as they don’t seem to last long and the soles disintegrate. What is everyones favourite running shoe?

    I always like Nike too Hayley, but apart from the soles wearing really fast I found out that Nike is one of the worst sweat shop/child labour offenders… So yeah, I’m looking for something else too.

    I agree with Marnie144, get your gait (running style I think?) analysed. I underpronate – meaning my feet roll inwards when I run. The best running shoes for my feet are Asics Gel Nimbus. I only run 5-6km 2-3 times a week but I found I did better with the appropriate shoe.

    I wear Reebok and Nike. Provide great support and the quality makes the pricetag worth it.

    Get fitted properly; they can tell you a lot about your feet such as running style, any arch issues, supinate/overpronation etc. Having the right running shoes will prevent the shoe from wearing down too quickly and also will correct your posture/running form.

    I love Brooks! Expensive but definetely worth it. My partner is a retired pro athlete and he has always sworn by Brooks for running. I don’t mind ASICS either.

    I always buy the Brooks Ariel for my feet that pronate. Excellent arch support and very sturdy.
