Training Shoes

[DC]

Don't fret with ariakes. As a runner, you will find better results from new balance shoes and your solomons.

I've become a HUGE fan of new balance over the ariakes, mostly due to it's double nature of being a decent running / pk shoe!

I'll have a look when I go to buy new shoes again...tx.

I found a greta pair of shoes the other day, not too expensive either, they're called Adidas Duramo 2.

They have great grip and are really light, only problem is the thick sole, which can lead you to think your technique is perfect, when it actually isn't.

Yup.. But that's not too much of a problem. Just train barefoot now and then. xD
I try and train barefoot as much as possible.

What shoes do you wear? I never thought to look...oh and I sometimes train without shoes but I'm afraid of hitting my toes when I'm vaulting and dropping.

I actually have those shoes on my feet right now. Looks are deceiving, and these shoes are nothing like you would expect them to be from looking at them, and by that I mean I love them. Gear and I actually took them for a spin in the rain and that cleared up any questions I had about the grip.

Interesting, I always thought walking barefoot promoted flat feet.

[Scyth]

So like, I decided not to buy shoes yet

[DC]

anyone want to venture a guess as to whether or not "seasky" and "brayantobbe", the two people who posted just above Scyth, are in fact real or spam bots....?

I have come across a number of "relevant" postings by bots recently. very sneaky. most of them usually make little to no sense and have a signature with a link to a random website.

Have a look around next time you're on the forums and click on the flag/report button to mark them so the mods can check it out.

[plut0nash]

I think those are real. There were some spambots though, those were there to advertise some kak products on dodgy websites.

[stained]

I find the bots tend to have their location set to somewhere random

but yea those are pretty relevant posts!

[Interzonal]

The bots ahve even started making their own topics saw one about some health products or something on sale.

Anyway, back to shoes?

[Ryu]

I think they are spam people
They troll the web looking for discussions about shoes and then they pounce, just when you least expect it.....


BAM!!!!!

thats when you see a link to a shoe website muhahahahaha

[Scyth]

Please just not a link I'm going to die
