Ask /fit/ and Google around. People here wouldn't run even if a fuckin' bear was chasing them.

That said, I have a pair of Saucony Kinvaras that work pretty well for casual running. I only do sprints to build up my VO2 max, so no clue how well they hold up for LSD running.

>>10525096

Yeah, it's sad that people here think looking skinny means not eating. The real key is eating a ton of salad, drinking a lot of water, and running every other day.

Nike Frees

I run everyday on sidewalks/street and I have the Nike Free Flyknit 4.0s.

They were like $80-90 so maybe save up to get them. I wouldn't pay over $150 for running shoes unless I was doing more serious running

Any thoughts on Asics vs Nike for running? I've only ever worn Nikes

>>10525242
asics are heavier but have better cushioning

>>10525245

Cushioning seems more important on the streets

>>10525242
If I had more disposable income I would be down to get asics, and I'm in the same boat as you (only ever worn Nikes)

they look fine and seem to get the job done from what i've read.

these look pretty good -- Asics Gel-Kayano Trainer Evo "Winter Tech Pack"

swear by my Prime Boosts

>>10525297

they look too branded. would prefer something minimal

>>10525060
If you really want a good running shoe, you're going to have to risk aesthetics. Everyone has a different foot, so purchasing a good running shoe based on what you read off an anonymous image board is not going to get the right product.

>>10525318
what the hell are you talking about

>>10525351

you can't see the logo on the shoe and the gigantic adidas branding?

>>10525366
they're running shoes: they all have branding, man

>>10525222
same.
they're gonna get ruined anyways. just get something around that.

i have the gyakusou lunaracer 3

they're great

>>10525387

the asics seem to win. $105 and don't make me look like a basic bitch

>>10525060
Asics Kayanos or Nimbuses are going to be your best bet, especially if your running on pavement.

>>10525366
that doesn't take away from the fact that the soles have really good grip, the mesh upper breaths really well, and the boost midsole is, like, literally the best shock support I've ever experienced on a running shoe
inb4 shilling; Adidas doesn't even make them anymore

y/n

>>10525402

these were awesome, the side design also hide the swoosh a bit. nike needs to start doing some unbranded shit, it's obnoxious

>>10525060
If you actually enjoy the act of running get some meme shoes.
They feel fucking fantastic on your feet.

>>10525181
>eating tons of salad
That's not how you get adequate calories for running m8

>>10525452
Dude running on concrete in those things sound like a nightmare

>>10525457

agree, i don't think your knees would enjoy that so much.

>>10525457
>>10525460
It's actually not harsh at all.

>>10525452

>>10525553
That's what they all say.
Seriously they're only good for off concrete running. Besides, if you're going for the barefoot style of running why the fuck would you use them on concrete?

>>10525853
Because sometimes you're in a city.
It doesn't matter really.
I run around my neighborhood in my vibrams, it's not caused me any pain at all.

are there any good looking neutral shoes

>>10525060
these

>>10525222
This and since were here at effay I'll chime in and say the 3.0s look better.
>>10525242
Asics are heavier with most of them having a lot more cushion, assistance, and support. I think that's what I'd go with if I were running 5+miles. For daily training you definitely want to go with a nike free.

>>10525060
Long distance runner here. Have been running half marathons for the last four years. If you are planning to do anything over two miles don't bother with anything Nike. Even anything more than one mile I would not recommend it. Nike has very nice looking shoes that work for the gym or shorter distances but they are not made for LSD runs. The best looking shoes for LSD running for guys would IMO be Asics. For girls it would be Brooks. I can't personally vouch for brooks, never owned a pair but I love their female shoes and the I know a few people who have had them, they all liked them.
Now personally I dont care how I look when I'm running, because I'm going to be hot, sweaty, and tired anyway. My go to brand is Saucony, pretty basic in terms of looks but really comfortable for my long runs. Don't get me wrong, Asics are great, I have owned a few pairs and they are great quality, many runners I know swear by them and they are my 2nd favorite brand, very close to Saucony, its just comes down to my own personal preference.
TL;DR Nike is #1 for aesthetics, Saucony is #1 for performance, Asics is the best middle ground between the two.

my current pair but mine have red instead of green on them.
Hope that helps, if you have any other questions about shoes or longer distance running I can try to answer them.

ASICS

brooks or asics

>>10526305
Like I said, I know they are not /fa/, but they are extremely comfortable for my runs.

>>10525457

I run barefoot on concrete all the time. Just don't heel strike like a fatty and you're fine.

>>10526387
This is the best approach, I wouldn't worry about it. Exercise isn't really aesthetic by definition - if you're not looking disgusting by the end of your workout, you're doing it wrong.

>>10525060
anything with cushioning. dont run on minimalist shoes like nike frees on the cement, it will FUCK your knees.

>>10525402
Those are racing flats, even though they have lunar foam, I wouldn't recommend them for general running/training

>>10526418
Really? I'm a forefoot runner and I can't run in anything but minimal shoes because excessive heel cushioning forces my running style to change and feels very unnatural. I'm 173 cm (5'8'') and 59 kg (130lbs), I've been running 8 km (about 5 miles) on asphalt every two days for over two years now and I have never experienced any kind of knee pain.

>>10527599
wait til you're 30 :/ that shit catches up to you. muscle rebuilds, cartridge doesnt

>>10525060
Go to a running store and try some shoes and buy what feels best. This is the only way to really know what works for you. Everyone is different in what they value in a running shoe. I've owned asics, brooks, nike, adidas, new balance, mizuno and hokaoneone. In my opinion asics and brooks are the best, while nike and adidas make the best racing shoes.

>>10527618
What shoes would you recommend then? I really don't want to have to change my running style from forefoot to heel strike. Are there shoes that provide enough cushioning for running on sidewalks but still allow a natural running style?

I've been very happy with my nike frees so far :/

I ordered a pair of Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 32, anyone tried them yet? I intend to run on asphalt…

>>10525342
Only knowledgable person. Every running shoe is made for a different foot type. Go to a store where they can tell you what's best for your foot.

>>10525452
No. You will be fucked on pavement. Especially if you have no experience with minimalist running already.

>>10526113
Brooks is the best selling running shoe brand in the country. Nike makes shoes for all kinds of activity. There are going to be several that are just fine for long distances. Just don't buy a cheap, shitty one. You really made a lot of baseless claims here, man.

>>10527637
This guy is smart too.

I've ran cross country and track for 6 years. Don't run in Nike's. Seriously, don't. They make ok running flats, but I doubt any of you are looking for anything like that. They're all super overpriced and super shitty for you. Just stop caring about your image while you're exercising. You can wear all Nike tech shit if you want, but just go to your local running store and get fitted to some Saucony's or Mizuno's. It's going to make a world of difference in the short and long run (lol)
I ran in Nike free run's literally one time in high school and it fucked my knees up for months. It's just not worth it. My current Mizuno's are this blue and yellow ugly as sin colorway, but my last pair were these black saucony's with little tints of yellow and Chinese writing and were actually cool as fuck.

>>10525060
I went to a local Sports Store where they checked my exact size, the places where i want to run (like in the City or in the nature), how i run, how Many times per week and so on. Would recommend to also do so. They might be /fa/ but comfy as hell
