Any sort of reebok basketball shoes are really good for everything that I do.
Or my current shoes Adidas Goodyear. Those are pretty good. .
Oh and Chucks, old school, and good for the ankle. Light weight, but it's really not good for shock absorbance..
One of my best friends wears steel toe boots, Dont do that.
Thats not productive,.

So, this isnt about the shoes themselves.
how tight do you tie your laces? i seem to tie mine so tight that my feet hurt, there is so much pressure on them, and at the ankle. i want to make sure they are snug, but i dont want them too tight. of course, maybe its just my shoe that is crap, but i not really sure.

The only negative thing I've ever heard about the Ariake shoe is that it's expensive.
The only negative thing I've ever heard about the Lite Mesh is that they aren't as durable.

I was wondering which shoes have the most traction, for wall and other climbing type runs? My eyes are on the ariake and the five-ten freerunning, Has anyone tried the five tens, if so how do they compare to other shoes. And also what are your reviews on the ariake (grip, durability, weight, etc.)

Let me rephrase my last post. So im set on eaither an Ariake or Ariake Lite mesh. What is the differences in traction (most important to me), weight, and durability. And for durability, how long with about an hour a day practice do you think before it wears down?

the traction is exactly the same.  i think the life span for these shoes on average is about 6 months, maybe a little more. |

I'm curious y'know how the men have the men's "ariakes" well the women have the Kluj's but they look like they literally have NO tread on the bottom, if anyone see's a pair let me know....I just think it's weird that the men's have good traction and the women's have like no traction (in photo's at least)

I've used a pair of Riddle shoes. Don't know what they're called, but really cheap ($20), great grip(soles have lots of rubber circles), downside is it's regular weight shoes and no shock absorption. But I remedied the non-shock aborption by buy a pair of shoe pads to put inside the shoes ($10). In the end, good deal.
I also have a chinese brand shoe by li-ning. Awesome looks, breatheable, hella light, and durable(still looks the same after 3 months even thought the top is holey and it's from china). Downside is it's lacking grip on some surfaces.

Does anybody have any experience with Asics Onitsuka Tigers for parkour? I've been wearing the shoes just for everyday stuff for like two years now, because I love them. Comfortable as hell, so light I can barely feel them, and they seem to have really decent grip. I haven't had the chance to use them for any real parkour yet, though. Just wondering if anybody else has. Or if anybody even knows the shoes I'm talking about... o.o The chick in Kill Bill wears them when she's wearing that yellow jumpsuit.. whichever volume that was. http://www.shopasics.com/onitsukatiger/products/shoes/mens_shoes.asp Here's some of the shoes, from the website. Click on the shoe to see different color schemes. http://www.shopasics.com/onitsukatiger/products/shoes/shoes_detail.asp?gender=mens&productid=240011213 Here's what I have on my feet, in "Black/Anodized Blue". |

I've been using my New Balance MT608BK Trailer Runners that I used when I ran cross country for my school. They are running shoes so they are really light. They are also pretty breathable and they have a good bit of padding. the only problem is that after probably 3-4 months of parkour the threads in the front are starting to wear away  . Other than that they've been pretty durable for me. |

i know that everybody is going to disagree with me on this one, but i'm adament. skateshoes provide the most surface area, and have the softest rubber, so to me, they have the best grip. this is what i use, and i have never lost my footing, or had any problems with grip.  |
