It really is different for everyone. New Balance is the shoes my feet will tolerate.

Both feel good í ½í¸œ but the skechers has its "pluses" with the memory foam and slip resistant .. while addidas doesn't .. I'm leaning more towards the addidas because od the "looks" and i wanna keep the skechers bcuz I feel the memory foam will be comfy .. I'm not sure if addidas will be like converse when you wear them for long hours walking your feet starts to hurt :-/

This is different for everyone. I use to wear Sketchers, but developed a compression injury that left part of my foot numb. My podiatrist recommended Dansco's for work and I've worn them ever since. The numbness has finally resolved, but it took almost a year to reverse the compression injury. If you've never had your foot/arch measured, you might want to try that to be sure you are getting the best shoe for your foot.

I owned a pair of Adidas and wore them for a little over a month before switching to Nike. They were wonderful at first but then they were too worn and my feet and back started to hurt. I owned the Nikes for 7months before switching over to Danskos. The Nikes are still OK but they started to hurt my back and feet as well. No issues with the Danskos thus far so fingers crossed. I never wore Sketchers but I would probably chose them over Adidas due to my bad experience with them.

Look for shoes that are designed for you arch type. If you have a high arch you under pronate, if you have a flat foot you over pronate, if you have a neutral arch you normally do not have problems with pronation. To better understand arch type/pronation look on Asics or other specialty running shoe websites. If you go to a store that specializes in running shoes, the staff can check your arch and your gait and recommend a shoe that provide the best support.

The Adidas look too flat for me. My feet would be screaming after 10 hours. I wore Skechers Shape-ups for years, though, and loved them.
