Please tell us (and vote...) what is your favorite brand of athletic shoes. I can't list them all so I suspect we'll have quite a few "Other" votes.

Sambas! :cool:

LOL!

nice not to be arguing, red-faced and frothing at the mouth, for a change.

hehe

I voted Nike.

*shrugs Never owned a pair in my life.

perhaps a poll option should have been "none"

of course, that could go under "Other"

thank goodness for "Other"!

I voted for Nike, btw

Oddly, I prefer to play soccer in bare feet.

New Balance. They're made in the USA and don't use Southeast Asian or Chinese virtal slave labor.

Kappa

Kappa

I apologize for totally forgetting the soccer-shoe market

Kappa, Mizuno (right?), Umbro, etc.

NB, eh? I had a pair of those, but they felt like concrete. I guess they were seconds.

Dude...

you too, Cluichstan

There was a poll yet when I posted. :p

Done.

puma or NB

I didn't see an option for "Anything under $19.99" so I just checked "other". :D

The ones I'm wearing are Adidas, but I have Hummel indoor shoes. My main criteria is that I like what the shoe looks like (preferably it being black if I'm going to wear it in public) and that the brand doesn't stick out too much.

depends, for football its Adidas, but otherwise, Converse

Kappa, Mizuno (right?), Umbro, etc.
I always thought it was 'Izumo' ;p

Anyways, Addidas and Puma are pretty good.

I prefer to go bare foot, but when the powers that be make me wear shoes i wear adidas TR9s.

I never wear sneakers any more.

I wear my dress shoes so much because of work, that they now fit perfectly. Whenever I put on sneakers, I wish I was wearing my work shoes instead. I don't like change.

Dude...

hehe

New Balance 903. They are the most comfortable athletic shoes I have ever owned.

Nike

far superior, look better too

New Balance or Adidas

Nike

not to be rude, but what would a scot know about superior sports? when do you ever win anything?:p

The running shoe classic? I use to wear them things out hehe They weren't an actually good running shoe.. but I liked how they looked back then, plain. Now I wouldn't buy a pair. But I've had my NB and Adidas for a looong time now. They are good :)

Nike kicks ass!

They're my jogging shoe.

Although, considering the weathe lately, I might have to amend my choice to a snowshoe!

(Shit, fight in the hall. Where's my Tazer?)

Also had a pair of Saucony once, they were pretty good as well.

being a wrestler, i dont have a ton of shoe choices. asics or addias? addias shoes look like crap, asics baby!

Don't know how you managed to leave puma out;)

Couldn't find a good pic, but my Vans have worked well for everything [ running, paintball, skating ext ] I've done for two years now:)

I really couln't care less what the brand is. If it's comfortable, works well & I like how it looks, then I'll choose it.

I've worn my New Balance shoes for two + years now and they've only begun to fall apart. They're awesome. I even took them to America's Boy Scout National Jamboree. 120 degree tested on 10 mile hike. Damn, they're comfortable.

New Balance OWNS!!!
