Some women are pretty particular about the brand of sneaker they wear. Whether you choose because of the style, fit, comfort, activity level, or price, nothing beats a great pairs of kicks.
So, what's your favorite brand? Do you love Brooks because they have sneakers with great arch support? Or maybe you have really narrow feet, so New Balance sneaks fit you snug as a bug.
Perhaps you love Reebok because they have sneakers with extra cushioning in the heel. Or are you a Nike fan, loving that you can design your own shoe?
I'd love to know which brand you love and why, so tell me below.

I just finally bought a pair of Nike's last month. That's the first time I've ever bought name-brand sneakers. (Except my Champions from Payless!!!). I bought running shoes, instead of walking shoes - is that really THAT bad to do? Kind of because I liked them better than the old-lady-looking walking shoes they had and partly because I want to try running sometime in the future.
1Nike ALLLLLLLL the way - i have a narrow foot with a high arch and the shox are perfect!
2Nike huh? I have narrow feet too so I love New Balance.
3I have narrow feet and a high arch, not a big nike fan... I like NB, too. And Saucony.
4Butrfly, if you bought running shoes for walking i wouldnt think that would be bad. i mean, all that means is that you will have more support and cushioning for your feet than you need for walking which can't be a bad thing, right?
5Ever heard of Gravis? They make casual sneaks, so they're great for taking your dog for a walk or just hangiing out. Plus, they're adorable.
6VANS!
7Mine are black with pink hippos on hehe :]
I love Nikes, I just bought a pair of the new NIKE ID, the ones with the sensor that connects to your iPod. I don't use the sensor but they are super comfy and I can use them for everything, running, basketball and weights, I'd wear them to work if I could!
8I love New Balance for running, jumping, climbing trees
9The one time i bought new balance they hurt my feet. I have narrow feet two, although I HATE HATE HATE my toes feeling scrunched up so I buy adidas. I love buying shoes and looking at shoes, but when it comes to wearing them...i take them off as soon as possible! lmao

Why don't you wear the face you have when I am not around?
I always thought Mizunos were for volleyball only, so I was surprised when they turned out to be EXCELLENT running shoes.
I've tried Asics, Nike, New Balance, and Brooks, and these are the best I've had.
They're lightweight and they really breathe too.
11My running shoes are Mizunos, because I have very narrow heels and those are the only brand so far that fits in the heel. My cross-trainers, though, are Saucony.
Reebok and Nike don't fit me. They're built very straight, and my feet always feel like they curve inward when I'm wearing them. Hello, discomfort.
12Asics 2100 series! They are the least obtrusive-feeling shoes I've tried yet.
13different brands for different things-
14Reebok for kickboxing
Avias for running
Nikes for lifting
Rykas for aerobics
I totally hit new balance but meant Asics. Duh. Anyway, I'm new to running and have had foot surgeries in the past. My Asics hold my feet perfect without rubbing my toes and scars the wrong way.
15Ryka, made by and for women
16I am a total Nike girl -- no other brand fits my feet. I have wide feet and no arches at all, but my Nikes always fit well.
17Nike shox fit so well - very very comfortable and last long! When running, they feel so light!
18My best friend used to work in the sneaker department at the Sports Authority and she told me that Nike are the worst for your feet, but I don't know for sure.
19i'm not a nike fan at all. i love my asics! my first ever running shoe was from Brooks back in 1992...
20After years of using Ryka, K-Swiss and Nike, I just bought a new pair of Adidas Supernova GCS shoes two weeks ago. I know it's been only two weeks, but I looove these shoes. I see my feet being very faithful to them from this point on.
21I love my New Balance running shoes. They were recommended to be by a PT who owns a running shoe store. They are light weight and really breath. When I got them home I noticed that had the pink ribbon emblem on them so some of the proceeds go to fight breast cancer.
I wear Avia cross trainers for step aerobics. Very white and very...unattractive, but oh so supportive.
22Nike shoes tend to run a little narrow, I love mine, I tried new balance but they fell apart on me.
23Keen sneaks are my fav as they allow me to run through puddles and on muddy trails uninterrupted. They are waterproof and durable enough to trail run, hike a mountain or play in a snowstorm. Warm, dry, and snug as a bug in a rug my feet are. Plus keen sneaks are so cute!
24I've got a pair of Mizunos, and I absolutely love them. They're very comfortable, they support my feet nicely, and are well built.
25I've been fitted several times and hated 3 of out 4, even after a trial run, gait analysis, etc. I have horrible dancers feet and find nearly everything but Asics (for runners and trail shoes) pure evil (Nikes and Reebok being the WORST). Um, not to put too fine a point on it. Apparently most Asics are made for medium to low arches and medium to heavy frames and I'm none of those things but they accomodate my "six toes". I also add the super feet green insoles. The shoe dog tool on road runner sports suggested on only pair of Mizunas, I still need to try the brand at all.
26I wear NB - made in the USA!
27I love my Brooks Ariel's for walking & cross training but no running. I have really flat feet and I wear orthotics in my shoes. I also go up a half shoe size from my regular shoes.
I go to this great running store in my area where they look at your feet & what you are using the shoes for to tell you what works best for you. They actually said that walkers are tougher on their shoes than runners. More ground contact or something? Seems to makes sense.
28I like Nike for looks, but that's about all they're good for; they make the bottom of my feet hurt badly! I can only wear them for riding my bike. I like New Balance or Asics for running.
29I like the New Balance, they're comfortable.
30I go for weight, not brand. I hate a heavy waking shoe. I like to be literally "light on my feet."
31Are the Payless Champion sneakers any good for walking/running? I want to start running, but don't want to drop a lot of money on a sneaker that I might not use often when I'm just getting started. Once I get a good rhythm I might invest in something better ... but now I am on a budget for workout gear.
32I run on the outside of my rather wide feet but have low arches. This is a very unusual combo so finding shoes is a real pain. However, I have a pair of Saucony shoes that are nothing short of amazing. My only gripe is that they are fairly heavy. I also have a pair of Brooks, but they're not quite as comfy.
33My feet are flat so I wear whatever shoes I can find that give me enough room.
