Im so TORN!!
which to get..
Nike Pegasus
--or--
La sportiva 522 Fireblade
--or--
merrell chameleon slam II
Can someone give me info about them.. plz tell me all you know. As in where to get, which is best and all the specs you can think of. Thx so much.,
Go pegasus they are all around the best shoe of the ones you are considering. Or fireblade, if you are new dont get chameleons it will be hard to do alot of movements with them for you. As for me birkenstock sandals all the way. even though i have worn them down so much from wall runs if you are looking for a challenge |

the Pegasus' are nice, but I found them too cushy. currently i don asics gel trail attack 3's. they have great arch support, ample cushioning and grip that gets better with wear(haha)
I recommend Asics and New Balance. New Balance have some amazing products. The M873 and the M1000(Pegasus killer)

i dont care what you think the best shoes out there are the puma roma. the sole is about 1mm thick the grip is horrific in a bad way and they get dirty fast i love um. my shoes are just about the closest thing to bare foot as you get its also nice because after you ware them for a moth or so they get nice little holes all over them so your feet can breath well.

I have an idea for this thread:
Everyone should post pics/specs/reviews of the shoes that they wear to PK/FR.

Anybody know anything about the Nike Air Max Assail III? http://www.davesproshop.com/index.html/page/shop-product/mfrnum/312899-441i just picked up a pair but i'd like to know if anybody has used them/what you guys think before i keep em, they seem pretty decent, the rubber on the sole seems a bit too hard, but that will change i'm sure as i wear them in. thanks in advance guys for any wise words |

Post questions and suggestions about shoes here. Everybody has a different opinion, but some important points:
1.) The shoe should be hella' durable. We obviously abuse our shoes a lot, so they have to be designed to take a bit of punishment.
About what shoes to "wear for Parkour"; since my regular shoes recently wore out (and I haven't been using different shoes to train), I've been looking for a pair to replace them. It seemed like a good opportunity to make sure they were good for Parkour, too. But it's important to not think about these shoes as "for Parkour" in the sense that we wear one pair regularly (for the long term, to not wear out) and our PK shoes when we know in advance that we're going to train. I can see where certain differences might allow for this separation (if they both had good grip, etcetera, and if whenever you needed to use Parkour in your regular shoes there would be plenty of time to replace them), but mentally we should be ready at all times, not letting our shoes tell us when it is possible to use Parkour and when not. |

Heh. I just bought these: http://www.evolvesports.com/PSYCHE.htm. You can't beat $19 shoes with climbing rubber, especially since I'm just starting out. Evolv is a really good climbing shoe manufacturer, too, quite reputable. arrrgh they just called me and told me that they're out.  poopy. They called you? I just got an E-mail . . . 9 days after they sent me my receipt . . . with another receipt, this time for my refund  |

K-Swiss Just announced a line of shoes specifically for parkour. they are available for 100 dollars and 80 dollars, but the 100 dollar ones have better grip and cushion soles for jumps, and are by far worth the 20 bucks extra.

A word of advice for anyone who does parkour...STAY AWAY FROM K-SWISS SPORT SHOES!!! No grip whatsoever although they have now developed better shoes I think the best for parkour so far would be asics, Nike, and some of those. I currently have a set of Nike that costed about $60 and I love them. They are great for wallruns and tic-taks and they are very durable while staying light! Deffinently recommended...I will get back to you guys on the exact model but I bought them at Kohls.
