Unless you like Al Gore, you won't buy Nike.

Asics, Saucony and several others make a great shoe.

Addidas suck, Nikes suck.

Last time I went in I couldn't decide between Brooks and Saucony. So I bought them both and I alternate them. Great shoes.

I like the Brooks Trance 7 for short runs, and the Saucony's for the longer stuff.

Death to Nike.

What's short stuff to you?

A 10K is short stuff. Middle stuff is 8 to 12, and long stuff is 13 or longer. If you're running much shorter than a 10K, you'd better be racing or doing intervals. Otherwise, there's not much purpose to it IMHO.
