Why are so many runners anti-Nike?
I was talking to another runner this weekend about shoes, and he gave me the usual anti-Nike schpeel that runners like to give. I've never understood why there's such a stigma on Nike shoes. This guy told me no "serious" runner would wear Nikes. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I run marathons about 25 minutes faster than he does (in my Nikes).
I tried some Mizuno's a couple of weeks ago, and after 5 or 6 runs in them, both of my feet had black toenails and a couple of nice blisters. So I'm back to Nike for good. I've run in Brooks, Saucony, Asics, New Balance, Adidas and Mizuno, and none of them were as comfortable or lasted as long as the Nikes I've had. Maybe I just have weird feet. |
