Members Knottyhed Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 I want to run faster, I was wondering, in the opinion of the HC member, which pair of shoes I should buy to make me run fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members headstash Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 Obviously, the one with the fastest soles. My friend had a pair of Nike running shoes and was fast as hell. I'm thinking of getting a pair. Right now I only have 4 pairs of sneakers and I don't have one for fast running. I have SAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members headstash Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 Zips +1. Zips ARE hot. Don't discount Roos however. That little velcro pocket comes in handy when you want to carry 50 cents while you are running so very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool I might have to check them out, I have Adidas at the moment - I really like the sound they make when they hit the ground but they don't go fast enough. Do you think replacing the laces might help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sirkonks Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'd say checkout any Nike with zoom air. Or Asics 2130, kayano's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yz250f49 Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 Shouldn't this be in the Open Jam forum where topics such as anal penetration, defecation and drug use are discussed in graphic detail? I'm just sayin...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BAXANDALL Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 It really doesn't matter what shoes you wear to run fast in as long as you're happy running fast. Would it really be any better than running slow anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members headstash Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hey, some people like to go jogging, others like to sprint. It's not my thing but to each his own. I think speed is in the toes, but the sneaker AND the laces have a really profound effect on speed as well. Velcro or slip-ons are for teens wanting to bring teh brutalz.

Members tarunark Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 find some scalloped shoes Amen to that. I find lacing up with 8's and sporting a mullet and frilly shirt seem to help despite going against the laws of aerodynamics. edit: but seriously, laces would probably be the tightest fit to you foot. Basically the lightest shoe will help. Or a heavy shoe for training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Der Induktionator Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 You need to build up the calluses on your toes, and clip those toenails once in a while. What's great for climbing trees isn't so good for speed. And get rid of those silly insoles. They just soak up all the mojo, and harder to get at the springs. Don't wear socks either. You want that mojo really slopping around in there, or what? Darn kids these days and their polyester lycra crap. All snappy and shiny. I like cotton, or even, better, wool. Nice warm feel, more character, texture. Like they made in the 60s before CBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members McSuckage Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 Paint them in your choice metallic color and don't forget your locking laces; much faster than stock shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members keNz Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 Parody or not, off-topic threads and general negativity/hostility are really the biggest contributors to the downfall of HCEG. What the hell ever happened to ON-TOPIC POSTS ONLY? Right now I can count at least three threads on the front page that have absolutely nothing to do with guitars. Every time I take a week or two off, I come back to HCEG and it's gotten worse. Maybe when you visit every day, you just don't notice the degradation of what used to be a really good forum through and through. Now you have to pick diamonds out of {censored}.
