It's the worst color of running shoes - black running shoes look horrible. It makes the people who wear them look like drones.
They either look uncomfortable or look like they'd be worn to just walk around in by someone. Am I the only one who feels this way?
Running shoes companies would be well-served by replacing black colorways with any other color!
(everyone knows that a light gray with blue undertones is the patrician choice of running shoe color)
They hide dirt better. Wow that was easy.
They don't.
Black shoes rule
You must be color blind.
Most running shoes come in the most hideous colors. Very very rarely you have the choice for black.
I only had one black pair in my whole life I think.

I agree that there are many hideously colored running shoes. Many are way too brightly/intensely colored, I don't know how thought that was a good idea. Running shoes should have subdued color profiles.
But I'm on the Saucony website right now and literally every Men's running shoe has the option for black. I don't like it. I'm sure if I went to Noike every shoe would also have to black option.

That's great for you, you don't have to buy them. Many other people (myself included) prefer black shoes for running. That difference in opinion is exactly why they make multiple options.

Why do you like black shoes? Have you tried any other colors? They might be more comfortable.

This is where you give yourself away as a troll. There's no difference in comfort between a black shoe and a blue one except in the space between your ears.

How do you know that? My experience tells me otherwise. My guess would be that black shoes are produced at higher rates so they sometimes use cheaper materials which leads to less comfort. It's not a guaranteed thing though. A friend once told me that the shoes they sell at retailers often aren't exactly the same as the ones that you'd get at the brand's store/on their website - I think a lot of black shoes are made to be sold at retailers and thus are of poorer quality. I bet blue and red would follow this as well.
My shoes are black. It's great, they appear less dirty.
Nowit response.
Black shoes make you look slower and make your feet look bigger heavier. Fact.
Running shoes would ideally be white with accents of any and every color. The dirt doesn't make them look worse imo.

This. A few models are offered in all black (though that's never the only color for that model) for people who like to use running shoes for work shoes where all black can be a requirement such as hospitality, medical, etc.
Affirmative (Foot) Action. 😀

I've been aware that this is a thing but have never worked a job that requires all black shoes. I think if you wore a different color nothing would really happen. They'd say "you need to change your shoes" you'd promise to wear the correct color for your next shift, they'd tell you again the next day, you'd tell them you would during your next shift. Eventually they'd forget and/or get used to it.

I actually thought of two clever responses to this - first would be "takes one to know one"
Second is: No wit = Know wit! I know wit and you've no wit!
