I wear black New Balance sneakers as dress shoes. With my toe problems I have to wear a wide width shoe. And march with toes pointed up? Gotta be hard on the toe joints with daily drill, etc. But I blame my big toe joint replacement on mark time on asphalt. 🥵 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resipsaloquitur Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 If you're already a fan of Adidas, the Ultra Boost (whatever year is the latest model) is a proven 'ol' reliable.' Feather light, good soles not done over the top like Sketchers or Brooks. Last season a pair went out white in May, came back grey in August but with the upper and sole intact without any obvious holes in the top part. https://www.amazon.com/adidas-Mens-Ultraboost-Running-Shoe/dp/B0BLHW1965 It's sure to last through this shorten season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 A pair of white bucks! Slather those shoes up with some Kiwi Shoe Polish, a coating of Krylon Spray Paint, and they will be indestructible! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllianaLancerContra Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Probably a good idea to get on internet & find a local sports-shoe place that has professional expertise (vs kid making minimum wage in mall shoe store). Look for place that offers orthopedic athletic shoes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wearing NB 608s (original, not the v2, v3, or whatever other "updates" they have) for going on 30 years. There've been a few times when I forced myself to try something else, but nothing else fits as well or lasts as long. Plus you can still get them for under $50! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
