NIke.
I have a very narrow foot. Some old Adidas shoes were ok. Tried Mizuno and could hardly walk after 2 weeks.
New Balance for about 10 years.
Used to steal my parents shoes when they fit me, then I just kept getting them once my feet grew. have only got a couple pairs i didn't like.
Another vote for New Balance. I went with Mizuno for ~12 pairs over 3-4 years, but the last 2-3 years it's been all NB. They're an American company, they sponsor athletes I really like, they sponsor some good meets; and the 1400 is the best shoe I've ever worn.
Split between adidas and Nike for me. I don't think Nike makes anything that matches the adios boost, but Nike's spikes aren't as heavy as trainers. Have tried other brands as well (asics/mizuno/new balance/brooks/saucony), but don't like anything else as much as adidas/Nike.
Brooks. I've currently on my 14th or so consecutive pair of the Brooks Launch. It is the perfect shoe for me, I love it. As long as their Brooks Launch is in production, I'm loyal to Brooks.
When it comes to running apparel, I'm a clothing whore. I get apparel from various companies, just depends on what looks cool at a bargain of a price.

I sort of favor companies I've gotten freebies from so that would be Brooks (who I'd love to buy from but I can't stand anything they make now,) Saucony, Asics, and Nike. Of the bunch, I've bought more from Asics than the others partly because they were around as Tiger before the other companies were selling running shoes and even now they have more simple shoes than other companies seem to.
What Asics shoe(s) are you training in?
New Balance for me.
I'm loyal to any shoe BUT Nike. I don't want my money going to Justin Gatlin.
I usually go with the adidas Boston as my first choice because I usually have good luck with them, but I've also had shoes I liked from Brooks (although not recently), NB (trail shoes), Asics (Hyperspeed), and Saucony (Kinvara), so I supposed I'm not particularly loyal if a shoe is a good match for me.
Nike.
Shoes/spikes/flats/shorts/singlets/tights...
That swoosh is beautiful
I am a busted up old guy with bad feet...not even a hobby jogger anymore...The shoe that transformed my life and allowed me to walk pain-free is the New Balance 928... I can now walk 5+ miles a day... I have friends who claim Asics makes great walking shoes too.
NEWTON RUNNING! Woot!
I'm mostly working through my stash of Pirannhas and Blazing Fasts (the irony there is off the charts.) But I also have a model called the Centaur that I got for $40 and am very fond of.
I have a wide foot. The Miler and Victory spikes always hurt my feet so I've gone with New Balance since then for spikes.

Same. Luckily the spikes hurt my feet but for trainers I've gone with Sacony, then Brooks and now Hoka.
I'm a recent convert to Hoka. Love the Clintons for all surfaces.
I try not to be loyal to any company and look like a free advertisement.

Plus one on the Brooks launch. I have two day-glo pairs for running and 1 grey/black pair for work. I really hope they don't change the model drastically.
