Answer 1

Nikes have messed up my tendons and one time fell apart while running breaking my ankle.

Another sneaker to avoid is Reebok, they fell apart and shoe laces snapped while running as well.

I never had a problem with New Balance. What's funny is they normally are cheaper, even the ones that are made in the US.  Weird how that works

Answer 2

new balance i prefer, my family wears new balance, they last longer i think, plus the cost is only 30-50$, compared to average nike's, 70-100$

Answer 3

Honestly I have found that nike's supports system is not the greatest. Adida's has GREAT shoes, I jog and hike alot. I have the adidas response trail adiprene shoes. I now will only wear adidas when running. They have great support.When I wore my nike's my knee's would give more when running down hill. The adida's really grip the surface. I also know of a brand called 'brooks' shoes. They are an all activity shoe but they have great soles and have a great reputation. They also have brooks athletic shoes as well..My advice would be adidas or brooks. My grandpa wears them and he is VERY active

Answer 4

New Balance will serve you well.
