Most comfortable runners?
What do you think are the most comfortable runners/sneakers? I need a good pair. Thanks for your help.

They don't offer much in the way of support, but I sure like Converse. I don't spend a lot of time on my feet at work and they are light and breath well.

Runners
Check out the Merrell line.

All depends on your feet - I do best with no support. For me, it is any of the Vans Pro series sneakers that have barely any support. For running, I like minimalist sneakers and have good luck with New Balance and some other specialty brands. Used to like Asics, but now they have to much support for.my needs.
Every foot is different and you need to go get assessed by a real running store if you want to avoid trial and error. Different brands generally suit a different style of running, foot, and issues that need correction. I suggest Gord's in Calgary... avoid the malls unless you know what you want. |
Skechers gel souls memory foam are the best I have ever seen
|
My wife is rather sensitive about her running shoes, being on her feet all day in them - ASICS is her choice. She has had Nike Air and Saucony but goes back to the ASIC every time - the Nike Airs only lasted a couple of weeks before she was shopping again.

Wide feet? New Balance.
|
I have always worn Nike, but I tried a pair of Asic's and they will be my next shoe as well
|
I like Salomon X Ultra GTX shoes. They are built tough, high quality and last a long time. I bought a pair of the goretex hiking shoes and just can't wreck them. I wanted to buy a new pair after nearly two years of heavy use, but just in too good of shape to buy new ones!

Go to a specialized running store. A good one will see how you walk, and put you into the right shoe that will fit your gait the best.

I use to just buy what ever was on sale. I now have a pair that fits my feet properly and running still sucks but my feet, knees and hips enjoy it a little better. |
I like Asics. Good support, they feel light. Haven't tried them all though.

I love the vent model for hot summer days, they breathe so well that they are like wearing a built in AC unit in your shoes, almost like wearing a sandal and no sock. I currently own 4 pairs of merrels and one pair of the new steel toe slip on merrel work boots/shoes that i wear when driving at work and i wouldn't trade any of them for any other foot wear. |

Sketchers hands down. Buy when they have a sale on, like now, 50% off your second pair. Best shoe I have worn yet, last a long time too. When my feet start to hurt, I know it's time to replace. Plus I just happen to have coached the kid who now manages the store, can you say discount from heaven :) |
Nike

That is the answer |
The good running shoe stores will do stride analysis which will help determine the proper shoe for you.
You can also google "running shoe selector" and there's a couple online tools that will offer some suggestions based on your entered parameters. |
Like a few have said, everyone's feet are a bit different and one shoe might feel better than another to you. That being said, my last pair of runners were Asics, and my next pair will be Asics as well.

Runners for actual running or pretend?

I have really wide feet and a Mortons Neuroma. New Balance made a huge difference with their wide comfortable fit |

ASICS. I’ve tried Nike, brooks and sketchers, always go back to the ASICS. It really does depend on individual fit though.

New Balance goes to 6E If I tried to jam my foot into a so- called Wide Skechers I would be dealing with a compressed neuroma and subsequent pain and inflammation. I stand by New Balance for wide feet in 3 different widths in the wide spectrum. |
For actual real life exercise (which I don't get enough of) I have a pair of Adidas Adizero Tempo ......... very comfortable, light weight and not too "yo G" flashy.
I also really like the Adidas Copa (indoor turf shoes) or Vans - very comfy for day to day use. |
