i have been wearing some nikes cross trainers for about 2 1/2 years, and i finally bought some cool vans to replace them. I will miss them

These are the vans I just recently got. Change the color to Navy/Mid grey..........aren't they cool looking ?

oh and btw nate: This is the shoe that will kick your butt!

If they're running shoes, and you run in them, they will break down way long before they look like they've broken down. Save your knees; change the shoes every 6-9 months.

They will last me until they wear out.

My shoes last quite awhile. I have been wearing a pair of Adidas cross trainers along with a pair of Vans for about a year and half. Yesterday I just went out and bought a new pair of Adidas, can't seem to find them on the Adidas site though.

I've had a pair of Adidas that I've used regularly for the past 15 months, but I don't use them for any kind of running anymore becuase they started giving me awful shin splints about 5 months ago when the sole padding wore out and the bottoms became smooth.

Can't see a problem in that! A marathoner friend of mine warned me about the shoe breakdown thing, and I think he's right. I do run and I change the shoes no less than 1x/year. Which simply means I've got a whole bunch of New Balances in the closet.
