Which Trainers Should I buy?

tonya

I was looking at the new Nike Blazer Classic Trainers, but have always worn Adidas classics before.
Any suggestions if there is anything else worth looking at?

Do you have pictures or a link to what you're looking at?

would love to have a look - can you upload a pic? I am an adidas diehard for the gym.

I'd go to the best athletic shoe store in town and get a fitting. Go with what feels best on your feet.

What are you planning to wear them for? I assume working out? If you are wearing them for high impact or running, I highly suggest visiting a specialty running shoe store. A good store will assess you for the right shoe for your feet and walking/running style. Everyone's feet are different and the right shoe will make all the difference and even help prevent injury.

They look like nike classic trainers, high sole simple style.
Sorry the forum is not allowing me to upload the picture.

Tonya, you can't upload a picture because you're not an Active Member yet, but you should still be able to copy and paste a link to a picture in a post. You can try that!

Other than that, I was fitted for Asics runners years ago and I just go and buy the next version of that particular runner every time I need new shoes. I just bought a fancy pair of Adidas on a whim at an outlet and drove me crazy - I switched back to the Asics yesterday and I was a happy, happy girl. Food for thought!

Agree with everyone else (being a distance runner myself) if they are for fitness go and get fitted at your local running store. You can't protect your feet too much!

If they are for cuteness we'll have to wait til you can post pics! LOL

The blue ones are Nike Free. They are considered "barefoot" running shoes, and if you are considering using them be advised they require quite a change in technique. If they are for looks only they are not very padded on the insole (as most trainers are) so may not be as comfy as you are expecting. They are made so your feet will "feel" the road beneath you and have just enough lining to protect you from rocks and glass, although you'd probably feel it through the sole.

Don't know anything about the other ones.

I second the recommendation of going to a specialty store and getting measured and fitted for the proper shoes for the activity in which you want to participate.

I've always found Nike's outside curve cuts too sharply for me, cutting off my toes so to speak. I'd definitely try them on before buying.

I wear New Balance.
