What is the best Tennis Shoe in your opinion?

I have kinda wide feet for a girl, and always have trouble finding the right shoes that feel comfortable. Even when I do, they wear out pretty fast, especially on one side of the sole (the inside direction). Got any suggestions on a good shoe I should be checking out?

Don't know if it is relevant, but I tend to got to Big 5 when looking for shoes.

I like New Balance shoes. Generally, they're tough, comfortable, and affordable, so they get an A in my book. I'm a guy though, so I have no clue about women's shoes.

I have always had high arches, making it sometimes difficult to find a good workout shoe that isn't outrageously flimsy. At the same time, I won't spend $50+ on a pair of shoes destined to wear out with the miles. I used to love Reebok cross-trainers but, after trying my first pair of Asics, I may not go back.

This question is worded...not ideally...

As for the OP's problem, I have wide feet as well and New Balance has tons of extra wide shoe options. I have bought the same shoes from NB for the last 5--err, 6 (it is 2012, after all)--years. Comfortable, durable and all black--which are the three most important features in shoes that I buy.

@curtisuxor: Which model NB did you get? And yeah, I realized after the time for editing had passed that I'd done a bad job wording this sucker. Thanks for answering anyways though. :)

@kerowyn: 406 4E width. I bought a bunch of them (5 pairs) a long time ago because I knew how much I like them, so I am not sure if they are still being sold. But, generally speaking, NB is a good starting point to find something that works for you.

I am a guy, but I think NB has both a female and male version of each shoe they sell.

Good luck.

I run a lot and I always prefer Asics. Especially gel nimbus series.

Saucony. They are far and away the best shoes I've bought for comfort and durability.

I have a pair of Vibram Five Fingers and love them! I know they look strange but they're really comfortable and I've heard reviews saying they fit a wide range of foot widths and heights, especially the LS styles.

I'm a big fan of Asics. However, I have the opposite problem as you, I under pronate instead of over pronate.

Here's a nifty chart to help you find the proper Asics for you http://www.asicsamerica.com/shoefitguide/chart.aspx

For anybody who cares, I just got a pair of Asics gels tonight that are AMAZING. Thanks for all the help!

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
