I am now on the anti-Nike bandwagon. After months of nagging little injuries wearing Nike Shox, I switched to the Brooks Trance. Amazing what a difference it makes.

I look at the shox and wonder how anyone can run in those. They look like anything but "shox" absorbant and they also look like high hills.

The high heels look is an illusion. The forefoot is at the same level as the top of the shox.

The key is adequate cushion for the mid-sole. Too much cushion for heel means sometimes too little for front and vice versa.

Nike cares about everybody but runners, which is where they originally made their impact, so Nike's abandonment of the runner is a slap in the face.

Thanks for the input guys. I ended up getting the Brooks Trace. They are really comfortable. Out of the 3 shoes I tried on the Brooks, Asics and Nike's. The Nike's were the worst.

You won't be disappointed.
