New Balance 901

It sux.

Not sure about the 901 but NB shoes are in general fine until they wear out which seems to come too
soon. (in my opinion). Never wore Saucony, I was just in a running store which sold predominantly
Aasics and Saucony, all of the Aasics hurt my feet just to stand. I guess they are made for people
with different arches than mine. The Sauconys just did not impress me. This store did not sell any
Nikes so I went to Sports Authority and bought another Nike. The Air Pegasus, they seemed to be
softer on landing than my TR9000 Nikes. It's all personal preference though, I also tried on a pair
of Nike racing shoes that were so light that the lace holders rubbed right through onto a bone, so
they were unpleasant. Try lots of pairs and buy the shoes, do not let the salesperson sell them to
you. "Jesus Alvarado" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

Idiot. Write us in a month when your injurys appear.

Any runner who could wear the Aasics that I tried on in the store would need to have what amounts to
a hole in their foot to fit into the bump on the inside of this those shoes. I guess that is someone
who has high arches. If that is your foot, then you need those shoes. If I ran in any of those
Aasics I would be in pain, in one run. Nike makes the best shoes, you just need to look. Check the
players on your favorite baseball, football, basketball team, you know the men who really make a
living at sports and depend on the best shoe. Tiger Woods does fine in his Nikes. Again it's all
personal preference, if you have a foot problem you will need a shoe for those who have foot
problems. Nikes are for those who win.

Since you haven't got any followups yet: all the major brands have a broad lineup of different types
of shoes. It's more important to choose the right type of shoe than it is to choose a particular
brand. For example, I wear Asics, Saucony, and Mizuno. Different brands, but they're all cushioning
shoes. Other posters here do the same -- wear a few different brands, but always the same type of
shoes. You need to find out what the right sort of shoe is (cushioning/stability/motion control) and
then look for something that fits well.

As far as Saucony goes: I have the Trigons. These shoes seem to have a wider toebox and narrower
heel than most of my other shoes. Several of the Saucony shoes have a snug midfoot (Grid Web, and
Grid Hurricane for example, as well as the Grid Trigon) and some of the others are more box-like,
well suited to someone with a wider foot and a high instep (Omni 3, Stabil). Might be worth trying
on a few pairs -- a number of the Saucony models have a unique fit: some these shoes can be very
nice for someone with the right foot. I know someone who simply can't fit anything besides the Grid
Omni 3 for example.

you are. Luckily the more knowledgeable amongst us (me) know that different people have different
feet, and Asics is but one choice out there.

You really are an inexperienced, ignorant little [censored]. If you ran more than to the nearest beer
cooler you might have a clue. Nikes are overpriced, cheaply made, poorly designed, and of the
lowest quality materials available. I've been running for over thirty years, the last 24 doing
about 6 mles minimum, to 9 per day, with ZERO injuries except for a two week long spat of madness
where I was sucked into nikes only to be injured within two weeks. So [censored], what are your
qualifications again?

Christ what a jerkoff you are. See dumbass this is a RUNNING newsgroup where we were discussing
RUNNING SHOES, not golf shoes, or basketball shoes, or any other kind. If you had half a brain you'd
know they get these shoes free or at very little cost to endorse nike. That's why you are paying
$140 for a $70 shoe. Thankfully nike has ignorant [censored] like you to keep them in business. Do a
Google search on nikes in this NG, and you'll see the numbers are 3 to 1 in favor of nikes being
garbage, this is from experienced, non-paid runners. Now go whack-off into your nike socks.

Which Mizuno model do you wear? The only bad thing about Saucony is that when I find a model I like,
they go and change the last ... That being said, the Trigon is a good shoe for people who have a
wide forefoot like I do. Jonathan

Wave Rider. I think the lasts on the Mizuno line are pretty consistent though. If you're looking for
a regular running shoe, the Wave Creation may be better (slightly heavier and better cushioned). I
use the Rider as a speed shoe.

The toe box and heel fit are quite nice. But doesn't have the same pinched midfoot as a lot of the
Saucony models (like the Trigon) do.

I put on 8 different pairs of aasics in the store and couldn't even walk no less run. They were
the most uncomfortable shoes I EVER had on my feet. My feet wear Nike. You may wear what you
choose. I respect your choice. Why does my choice in shoewear offend you to the point of being
vulgar? If you are so very qualified and am convinced that I am not, why should my feet or whats
on them bother you?

Surely, you're joking ?

Saucony were founded in 1898.

I wouldn't regard Nike as one of the more "dependable" shoe manufacturers.

I have not said any shoemaker makes poor quality shoes. I said that all the aasics that I tried on
hurt my feet. Since all feet are not equal the same shoes that hurt me might be right for another.
All said I still believe that nikes are best for me. The trouble with Nike is that they make so many
models of shoes that you need to take care to buy the right one for you. No store in the worls sells
all the models of nike shoes, their variety is just too great, far more than aasics and saucony
combined. "Doug Freese" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

If you only count their *running* shoes, Nike don't have that much more variety than anyone else.
