Colleen Quigley dumped Nike shoes...promptly got plantar fasciitis

Changing shoes can do that just because of the change. Not necessarily because other shoes are worse

Came here to say this, I usually train in nike and got a brooks pair that messed up my shins for a while, got used to them and no issues since. It’s just a matter of adjustment I think.

I got to speak with Meb after his 2014 Boston win. He credited his PR to being able to stay consistently healthy with better trainers once he stopped having to wear Nikes.

Didn't Skechers give him custom shoes to his preferences (which I doubt Nike ever did)?

My understanding was that they worked with him very closely (closer than Nike anyway) for his shoe development, yes.

What about Brazier and Shelby? They stayed with Nike and still got PF.

Ya I typically wear Nike shoes. Pegasus are great, I switched it up and wore some different Nike shoes and started to have injury issues, had to go back to the Pegasus. There are a lot of varieties within the same brand, she must not have picked a shoe that was the similar style to her old Nike shoe. Whatever brand she wore probably has something that would be a better match.

She had PF a couple of years ago as well when she was with Nike. So this means nothing.

Well, here's what happened to Stacy Dragila when Nike made her a custom shoe:

Do we think she is going to make the team?

Is she healthy? Hasn’t raced since March? February?

She is sure doing a lot of press for this Olympics as if she has her spot all locked up, but anything can happen.

Op is clearly not a fan .

Nike had a deal with Frank to change and wear Nike at the 72 olympics. You don't change things during an olympic year if you think you are winning a medal. Shorter tested the shoes and liked them , but stuck with his tigers and won the gold. It was not about the money it was about the glory !

You are wrong! Shorter in 72 wore adidas racing flats in Munich! He changed brands in 76 Montreal and that year 76 he wore Tiger Shoes not in 72! Dont belive me ? Search the the videos of both races!

I stayed away from Nike for 30+ years after an injury. The Peg 36-37s brought me back and they have been great for me and my kids. Anyone else find the Pegs in particular to be great? Can always just be luck. The tech between the big shoes within a category are pretty similar. And PF is like low back pain, you have it for life, you just control it.

I trained in Pegs since graduation high school, but recently they made there already thin toe box thinner and it led to some achilles issues. Traded them out for a little more expensive ON shoes and the achilles issues have all but disappeared. Don't think I'll be going back.

If she had not worn Nike in the first place she would have been ok.

Its like wearing high heels then blaming normal shoes .

Her injuries will prevent her from making it at the trials. Odds are stacked against her

The Peg 36 was a winner . Thin upper and very neutral

last . On a side note , the PGA does a shoe manufacture count . This is one of the

first majors where Nike is leading Foot Joy for players wearing golf shoes.

I had to get out of Nikes cause they gave me PF and posterior chain issues (hammies/hips). Been a lot healthier since ditching them.

The Vaporfly’s are injuring the top US marathoners (Rupp, Hasay, Cragg). Hasay needs to leave for another brand to get her legs back.
