cymbalgoddess57 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 ok so the new year is quickly approaching and i wanted to get a head start on picking the "right" tour shoes. in '08 i had a pair of pumas and in '09 i had a decent pair of nikes. i want a comfy, lightweight, FLEXIBLE shoe. i know asics are popular, but ive never had any. i was also looking into under armor shoes. any feedback would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickhaltsforlife Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 asics or new balance are the way to go. durable, lightweight, good support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigervault Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Had Brooks in 08 and Asics in 09... I'd recommend going to a running store and have them evaluate your foot and stride to find what kind of shoe would be best. Honestly, Under Armour and Nike shoes are made to sell, not necessarily to be functional. You definitely want to get a good pair of shoes... your feet are you most important asset on tour.

drumelloboe Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Be sure to get a cross-trainer shoe, as running shoes are made with the intention that your feet are only moving forward. I've seen people recommend Asics and New Balance more than anything- I had a pair of Adidas that lasted 3 or 4 cycles in the washing machine for a year after tour... heck, it's been 2.5 years and I still have them. Also recommend the Spenco Polysorb Cross-trainer insole: http://www.spenco.com/polysorb_2.shtml Had a pair in my rehearsal shoes and a pair in my marching shoes.
