I have a pair of asics I like, but I'm a chick. I did go to Athletes Foot (or whatever it's called) where they had me walk on a scanner thingy to work out the best shoe for the way I walk. I think I spent $250 iirc, and they have lasted me for about 4 years now.
If anything, I'd recommend going to where they have that foot scanner thing, because yeah, my runners are a pair of beasts. Inclement weather, wear and tear, and they still look brand new when I clean them lol
Oh actually I remember why I got NBs now. I went into the athletes foot and they told me to go to footlocker because they didn't carry shoes wide enough for my feet and newbalances were the best they could recommend. I'll try again though, maybe asics have released a wide model. Thanks for the recco!
