Worst shoe you have ever tried?

What don't you like? I think they are a very comfortable max cushion trainer.

The worst shoe I have tried is the Adidas Ultraboost 21. Felt like Bricks.

I wouldn’t say I tried them, because it’s all I had for my first month of running. Black Converse high tops. Ran my first race in them too.

ON 👟shoes.Any model.

Atryu’s suck the big one too .

Pegasus 37. Literally felt like my foot was going to break from the hideous fit and ride. Loyal Peg user for years but that model got me looking elsewhere.

Thankfully Nike have their shoe returns policy in place.

Trail shoes were the Salomon S/lab Ultra 3. Just a horrible feeling midsole.

Most recent road ones I’ve hated were the Adios 6.

A pair of New Balance 2040's I paid over $200 for in the mid 2010s. The soles on both shoes started coming off after one use.

Adidas adios pro version 1

Nike Free shoes are terrible for running but maybe good for walking.

Asics Novablast. Gave me massive blisters on the side of my foot, and ankle pain that took a week to go away.

I hated them as well. One reason was a general complaint: Too much stack height and heel width for a midfoot striker, and no real pop from the Zoom X foam. The other reason is specific to me: The midfoot was painfully narrow and hurt my feet.

Those look like Sock Trainers. I never tried them, but I remember the Sock Racers were yellow and black, so those are probably the trainers.

There are multiple worst shoes that I couldn't run in. The Asics 2020 (or 2030 or 2040, can't remember the number) from the '90s felt like it was trying to tear the front of my foot off the back of my foot, a weird sensation that I never had in any other shoe. The adidas Cubato+ made me knees hurt just a few miles into my first run. I understand that others liked that shoe though. The Nike Run Avant made my Achilles hurt when no other shoe did.

There are also shoes that fell apart within days due to poor upper material selection and design that didn't account for stress risers, like the original Altra Superior and Nike Air Zoom Trail (not sure of name anymore, from the 00's).

When the uppers fit me, I personally loved the Nike Frees for running. From about 2006-2010, I would have rated the ones that fit me well my favorite running shoes ever, having started running in 1985.

Sponsored by Etonic in early 90's...all of their shoes were terrible.

Altra whatever it was

Nike Bermuda followed many years later by the Reebok Aztrek.

Really? the peg 37 is my favorite shoe in the history of all shoes
if I could only wear one shoe for eternity, it would be the peg 37

The Alphafly's of course. They're big, heavy, clunky... if you compare them to Vaporfly line-up.

I never ran a race in them, although that's what they're supposed to be made for. They're so wild I sometimes touch my other ankle with the shoe.

It's the Nike Sock Trainer, came out in 86 not long after the yellow Sock Racer.

This is like buying an F1 car and complaining about the harsh ride on your daily work commute.
