    Does anybody have these shoes? I think they have an awesome design, they are very stylish, I love old school looking things but, are they comfortable? They look like you'd be just wearing thick socks in the ring, and I like to have somewhat of a thick sole for support.

    Another thing I noticed is that they look exactly like the top contender shoes that my little brother has. If they are the same exact thing exept for the grant logo, I would definetely go with the cheaper $25 shoes, but if they fall apart in like 5 mins, then I would spend the extra dough on better quality shoes. The only difference I see is that the grant shoes are velvet and the top contenders are nylon.

    "these shoes run a little big i perfer them just for competion its not that great of a shoe to train in everyday they get beat up very fast and the bottom are like a hard plastic rubber they can be a little slippery but they are very light they are more made for fashion" -Reviewed by Chad

    "The bottoms are very hard as previous stated. They do fall apart quickly and run big. Not a fan." - Reviewed by Christopher

    These are the two reviews I found for them

    You mean hydrolast? I've never tried them but I heard they are pretty decent. Though I think for the money you could have gotten better shoes

    What do you guys think of these shoes for training?? As you can tell, I like old school, plain looking shoes like Ali or Sugar Ray leonard used to wear, but these dont look like they got much sole thickness, and I dont want them to wear on me. Does anyone have any experience with these shoes or any shoes that fit my criteria?? Maybe Ill just go with these theyyre only 30 dollars.

    A girl in my gym as a pair of those, they torn apart so I don't know how long they will last. If you want an old school look go with the adidas box hog. I have a pair and they feel great.

    Anyone every try Asics Matflex? Wooo! Talk about stick and move! You can stop on a dime in those and they are light as air. I would recommend the old single sole version though.

    i am an ex flat footed person, and my brother too.

    i've tried numerous kinds of those high end running shoes with motion control and high end support. they were good short term wise, but they wear out fast and cost alot to keep replacing. plus... we are meant to run/do activities barefoot.. as humans.

    i found these shoes made by Vibram

    www.vibramfivefingers.com

    After using these for 2 months, my brother and i no longer fall under the flat footed community. we have actually developed a higher arch!!

    yeah they look goofy, but they work. they have NO support at all, forcing you to land on your midfoot/forefoot (the CORRECT way to land when running!). highly supportive shoes force you to land on your heels, which is really bad for your joints.

    it requires going through 2-4 weeks of intense muscle leg/feet conditioning though, but its worth it.

    if you do some research on them, you won't find a bad review unless it's a review of a counterfeit (which are invading everywhere).
