New Shoes!
I've been doin pretty good lately, running a lot, so I decided it was time for new shoes. I've worn the old ones in real well. I need you to recommend me a good pair of all around shoes. I'm gonna lift, run, and play basketball in them. I'm not looking for top of the line, nothing like $140 bucks for a pair of shoes, but something durable and comfy.
Thanks!

100 is a little bit too much. I'm thinking 60, maybe 70 bucks.

I'm telling you...The shoes are worth the extra $30...
Look, go down to Footlocker and try them on...Then you can buy your Keds and what not...
****, just go to McDonald's and get a Meal...They have Monopoly and I already won two 20% coupons for Footlocker...I'd let you have them if you lived next door...

I don't wear Keds, I wear DC's as street shoes and steel toe boots. I don't know anything about athletic shoes since all of the sports I do don't include wearing shoes lol.

looks good, similar to a show on Discovery channel I saw that showed shoes with TOO much restriction or cushioning actually increased risk of injury because it doesn't allow the person to feel what their feet are doing and they could do something they are not supposed to. So the purpose of a shoe should not be to constrict the feet but simply to protect them if you step on anything.
Too bad these shoes don't come in widths (I got wide feet.)

Rather than taking suggestions here, I say you should go to a shoe store and explain what you're looking for. They'll be able to help you find one that fits your foot perfectly and fits your needs.

They'll be top of the line alright - What are you going to do when you get home and notice you just bought a pair of "Right" shoes LOL

LOL Did you just say "almost" a thrift store?
Look, ROSS is full of **** nobody wanted...It might be brand name, but don't forget, ROSS has them because NOBODY else wanted them
I guess I'm a bit materialistic...I have to work on that...
