    Shoe people

    I need running shoes and regular walking around shoes. What's gonna be a good look.

    I can't ask in the shoe thread because it feels like walking into an art studio and asking people what kind of paint they like.

    Running shoes depend on your weight and gait, pronation, etc:

    Gel nimbus 22's are nice for newbies but if you can determine your pronation and such you can get a much more specific answer. You can wet your foot and step on a paper towel to see where your arches are and/or go to a runnersworld and have someone watch you run. If you're heavier than 180 you're probably going to over pronate and need more stability. Nimbus should work if you don't want to overly research, don't get the 21's.

    Casual shoes depend how trendy/comfortable/ hipster you want to be vs your budget:

    New balance is great, but the greatest aren't cheap. NB 997s 998 and several others in the 990+ model range can be pricey but they hit every mark. Comfort, trendy, dad shoe, etc.

    Super cas/comfy and wanna walk on clouds try for EQT 93/17 or Presto Reacts. Can spend less than 100 if you shop around. Wanna spend more and get more of a 'runner shoe' while still walking on clouds go ultra boost. Alphabounce in between.

    Also Sherwin Williams matte/flat it's washable and if you ever need a touch up you can paint right over it and it will blend right in.

    i asked these things once here before, tyven gave me some good recommendations and i appreciated him taking the time to do so but i thought i would look like a douche in said shoes. (i appreciate you, tyven)

    Is your shoe size 8.5?

    Those are decent running shoes. I hear Brooks are good shoes

    Eqt 97/13's I mentioned and the presto reacts don't have this problem. Also cheaper.

    thing that boggles me about UB is that they are still hard to find. i've decided adidas is just a shit company at doing anything since they are just trying to sell exclusivity which makes them shit

    Np man I love to give shoe recs even if people don’t ask/aren’t looking/won’t buy so when someone actually asks it’s a real thrill

    It’s insane that, aside from a few gram flexes, I haven’t worn anything but the same pair of Vans for the last 3 months.
