Alright guys, I've got two pairs of trainers that are about to shit the bed (Adidas Adizero Bostons and New Balance I-Fucking-forget-the -numbers), so I'm in the market for something that can provide a little stability during deads and squats but also be comfortable enough for a long cardio session immediately post workout. Nothing crazy for cardio, just steady state at an incline on the treadmill, stair master or elliptical.
I know some guys swear by Chuck Taylors for lifting shoes, but they aren't so great for long cardio sessions. Besides, I'm not pulling or squatting any crazy weight, so meeting specs for heavy duty lifting is secondary for me. I just need a decent all arounder. My work bag is my gym bag, as well, so I'm not looking to carry two pairs of shoes, either.
So far I'm looking at Merrell Trail Glove, Adidas Samba or New Balance Minimus. Any others I should be checking out? Trying to keep it at $100 or less.
