Those Chinese sneakers with weird brand names on Amazon are probably non-woke and slave made.

Honestly have no idea about their political affiliations, but Saucony are the only running shoe you’ll ever need

Quote HistoryQuoted: New Balance are/were made in the USA. Made in the USA does not equal Non-Woke. I was at the Tanger outlet stores at National Harbor, and half the stores mandated masks, the other half did not. Nike had some fat rent-a-cop guarding the entrance to only allow mask wearers in. New Balance wasn't quite as bad, but still. The employees at Sunglass Hut gave no fucks. I almost bought a pair just because (but not really, 'cause that shit's expensive). There are a few others where the employees were just hanging out maskless. It's just random. |

I was told New Balance are the official shoe of white people. That’s why I bought them. They’re pretty comfortable for running.

Asics are hands down the best road running shoe. No idea if they’re woke or not.

i wear a lot of gear from goruck.com. They have shoes, boots, and clothes. Not sure the shoes would be good for running - i think they are more work out orientated
I believe the founder is former military. |

Buy the shoes that work for your feet.
Save the woke spending for other things. There are many opportunities. |

I can't wear Brooks shoes without pain, and my wife can't wear Asics. Merrills absolutely kill my feet unless I swap the insoles. You may not want to spend your money with a particular shoe company, but the inner commie in your feet could overrule you. |

With running shoes I would buy whatever fit and provided the required performance. Period.

My Brooks say made in Vietnam. I use to just buy NB because they lasted for many miles. Their construction has changed and for me they are garbage. The Brooks that I bought are light and still feel good. I rotate 3 pairs of shoes and that makes them last longer or so I think
. Still looking for solid high mileage shoes like NB use to make.

But maybe I've never really paid any attention to my shoes until they were completely deteriorated. |

Was going to suggest Altra, but just looked at their web site and who we are has DIE as the second link.
Gotta get diversity in running as there are too many white people doing it. Obviously racist that a sport is majority white (ie, see all the camping gear companies, especially REI).

I'd say bare feet, but then that company would be god, and it appears, at least in my religion of Catholicism, that they are woke.
The evidence being their complicity in bringing illegals into this country and showing them how to defraud the federal govt.
