I wear these to work out and LOVE them. So comfy. I am thinking about getting another pair just to wear for every day stuff.



In the summer I wear plain black flip flops 90% of the time and other styles of flips/sandals/heels the other 10%. Winter I'm in Uggs almost exclusively. I don't care how ugly they are..warmest and most comfy boots ever.

Just got these after my last pair of Hyperize's finally bitched out on me.



The swoosh has little color inserts, I will be using the black one.

These things are comfy as hell. Last pair of actual shoes I bought were some Nike Dunks. Next pair will likely either be another pair of Dunks or some Foamposites

Haven't played in them yet. Just got them last week and been too busy with work to play, tomorrow will be the first day.

I had the original Hyperize, without the visible air bubble. Got them 2 years ago(I think) and they finally gave out. The lace hole(or whatever it's called) just broke when I was making a cut.


These ones are the Air Max Hyped. I got them for $57 on ebay.

Lol yeah blowin shoes out making cuts is always fun. Im not sure what new ones I wanna get, I heard the Durants (not what theyre called, but w.e he wears) are real comfortable and light weight.

Buddy of mine had his first shoe. He liked them, but the new ones are more of a low/mid not the high top like the first one was. I've heard the same about the new ones though. I would wear the lower cut shoes, but I have terrible ankles and I would just be asking for another severe ankle sprain.

Yeah I might have to try those out then. I thankfully have good ankles (knock on wood). My problem is my knees, thanks to 2 blown ACLS.

This thread just reminded me how desperately I need a new pair of running shoes. The ones I currently have were essentially the only shoes I wore for the last 3 or so months of pregnancy and they are sooooo stretched out (which I discovered while doing a 10K...not fun).


FWIW, I've seen quite a few "serious" runners wearing the FF. I got a pair for BF for his birthday last year, but his feet are all messed up so they didn't fit right. I've tried a couple pairs on, and want to get a pair in the near future. They were quite comfy.

The wife and I are thinking about getting a pair of the Vibram Five Fingers. That site I linked to has them for 50$ so why not try em.

Oberhaus I think that might be a counterfit site.

I work in a shoe store and get a 60% discount, so I've get a couple dozen pairs each year. I can't say I'm a very big fan of the ZigSonics in the OP; I don't think they're that comfortable. I do have a pair of the high-top John Wall ZigSlash though, just because of Wall. Of the shoes listed so far I like Hb's Retro 5's the best.

Here's what I have now.

Just got a pair of the Vibram Komodo's. I like the extra traction as opposed to the KSO's. They were $99.99 at Dave's Performance Footwear in Perrysburg.
