Nike Tennis shoes all the way:
 
Over the past few years:
Breathe Free II's, I had about five pairs over a couple of years. They don't make them anymore...

 
 
Ballistec 1.3's

 
Ballistec 3.3's

 
And a few other pairs of Tennis shoes, Adidas Barricades, Babolat Propulse 2's. Tennis shoes are just so comfortable! The reason I've had so many pairs is because as a tennis player, playing 6 or 7 days a week, they wear out really quickly. My last pair of Breathe Free II's just wore out, I have a hole clean through the sole. Just like every pair of shoes I've had recently...

Nice. I love the Nike Lunar line of running shoes. My faves are the Lunaracer 1 and the Lunar Trainer (both now discontinued). They have the "tennis ball" (neon yellow) soles, too, which are good for keeping cars from smashing into me. Neon yellow is like the new white for Nike lol.

I thought about trying a pair of these, but they are too bold for my tastes. Ended up getting a pair of Nike Free Run+, which is their bare foot tech line. Easily one of the BEST pairs of shoes I've owned.
 

paired with some fat yellow laces

 
 
 
 
I have been reading up on the Nike barefoot line.  Nice to see a recommendation.  Am I correct in saying that you can get them in different ratings?, so:
 
0 = The closest model they do to running barefoot with the least amount of support, so it feels natural
10 = The most supportive model & a good starting point for newcomers to barefoot running which help to get your feet used to barefoot running.
 
I wouldnt be running in them, how comfortable are they for day to day events, going to the pub, cinema, work, eating out, driving in?

Anyway, I treated myself to a pair of Doc Martens "For Life" boots, which come with a lifetime guarantee.  Really impressed with them. They felt great straight from the box & I have been wearing them Mon - Fri to work for the past 2 weeks and my feet feel great (unlike a previous cheaper model I bought from Doc Martens, but ended up swapping for these)  The leather is soft & flexible & the insoles are padded & feel good for walking in.  The air cushioned soles add a spring to my step when walking!
 
http://www.drmartensforlife.com/for-life-products/1460-8-eye-boot/ - This is the model I bought. In "black" NOT "black smooth" as these are the hard leather ones, which I didnt want (they are the same price)  Not cheap but worth it imo.
 
http://www.drmartensforlife.com/for-life-products/ - If anyone wants to read up on what they are all about.

I love my Mexico 66's (Black, Grey and Gold) but the insoles are starting to come apart.  Is there any way to replace the insole without buying a new pair?  I love the way the leather has broken in and I don't want to spend full price on a new pair (between jobs right now).  I guess thats what I get for wearing them in the stockroom at work, though...  Any ideas?

From my understanding, the Free Run+ is an updated 5.0 - now with a little more flexibility and lower heel profile and has the slot for the Nike+ sensor. The Free Run+ is like a combination of the 5.0 build with a 3.0 sole. So, yeah, the lower the number, the less "shoe" (i.e., support) there is. The 3.0 basically just protects you from the ground.
 
They are comfortable, but the Frees usually run short and sometimes narrow in the toebox, so you might need to go up a half size. Unless you like getting black toenails.

Just picked up a pair of Saucony Vegan Jazz, they are ridiculously nice looking, comfortable as well as cruelty free! In reality, they're much, much, much darker than this and almost look black, which I was pretty stoked on! I also always, always, always have a pair of Vans slip-ons, usually black. I cannot remember the last time I didn't have a pair. They're ridiculously convenient and cheap as dirt, but still seem to last me a year or so of heavy wear and poor treatment before they no longer stay on my feet, haha.

 
They sneakers that have been tearing at me for a while have been the Nike AKJO reissue. The original AJKO have been my dream kicks since I was a kid, and these new resissues are sick, they look almost perfect and won't cost me $1000! That said, they didn't make too many, and they're somewhere between $150 and $200, especially in my size. I also really, really want to nab a pair of Supras, but I'm afraid they don't make them in my size (US 15), haha. In store shoe shopping is terribly disappointing for me.

I really want to give these a try for running, they seem to be really highly recommended. How do you like them? Do you wear them with or without socks?

Puma sneakers are excellent. I've bought probably more than a dozen pair over the past years. No pix but I've been accused by colleagues of being secretly sponsored by Puma
