I guess I'd say New Balance since I've used that shoe brand the most. Plus the last New Balance shoe I had lasted about 2 years before we replaced it and that's pretty long time for a shoe.
usually ill go for the most boring all black off-brand cheap pair i can find. Sounds strange, but the $8 shoes last just as long as the $40/$60 ones and they look the same, feel the same, and almost are the same in every way 'cept the logo on the tag. Overall i just saved tons of money and will have shoes that will last a year.
I really like Nike, Addidas, Reebok, Puma, Jordans, Asics, DC, Fila, and Mizuno. They are really good sports shoes, which is what I need most of the time. So they fit the cut.
It depends. For general walking and at school, I wear Pumas (and used to wear Mossimo) For training for Cross Country I use New Balance and in the Races, I use Adidas (as shown below, they're awesome ^_^)
