I did buy some Adidas shoes for running only, I should wear them at work one day and see if I feel any different. I'm afraid at this rate the both of us will be hiking our pants up to our chests soon.I wore Chuck Taylor's for over a decade, aside from a pair of Vans slip ons (they were star wars).
I've always loved the look of the CT's and they have some really cool DC characters designs but over time (I'm getting old) comfort has become more important.
At the moment the Adidas boost lines are super popular and hard to come across at retail price which is unfortunate because they're quite comfy and unlike other runners don't look overly weird.
