For the past decade, I’ve been a New Balance guy. I bought and wore the New Balance Model 993s for years. They were cozy and durable, well worth the $149 price. But now I’ve switched. Nike Free sneakers may be the most comfortable sneaker I’ve ever had on my feet. I’ve worn Nike sneakers in the past, but was dissatisfied with the feel and cushioning. These new Nike Free sneakers (for men and women) clearly have solved those problems. The Nike Free sneakers come in various colors and styles. They range in price from $87.95 – $139.98 on AMAZON depending on your choices. But if you’re looking for a new pair of super comfy sneakers, give the Nike Frees a try.
Phil likes ECCO SEAWALKERS. He can’t bear to wear something that looks like a sneaker even though I keep telling him that look is hip.
Patti, for a dressy look Phil might try Reebok’s Classic leather sneakers or Nike’s Studio Low II leather sneakers. Both look good and feel great!
I generally prefer Reeboks – like you I didn’t like the Nikes I’ve tried in the past – but these look possible. Of course I’m cheap but maybe I’ll check out the Nike outlet.
Jackie wears Ecco sneakers, Patti. She says they are very comfortable.
Jeff, I was shocked at how comfortable the Nike Frees are. The previous Nikes I wore a decade ago were far inferior.
Oh, mine are walkers. I like the thick cushiony sole.
Nike Free sneakers are technically “running shoes,” Jeff. But they have cushiony soles, too.
We are New Balance folks. I hate to pay a ton for such shoes, so I have an old pair of 608s, but Barbara is a distance walker and work-out person so has a good pair ($200 range). All of the ones you show are in colors I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing.
Rick, I wear the gray pair. Very neutral and comfy.
that should have been “all but two…”
Keds, six bucks at K-Mart. Or they were when I bought a pair 40 years ago. No, I don’t still have them, but I blanch at the idea of paying $200 for a pair of shoes assembled by a dollar-a-day slave in a mud hut.
New Balance sneakers are Made In America, Bob.
New Balance, besides being made in the USA, come in 2E and 4E widths
Stan, you’re right. I’ll still have a pair of New Balances around because of brand loyalty, but the Nike Free sneakers are now my go-to sneakers.
