True story: I'd never owned nikes prior. The only shoes which would fit me - WIDE feet - at basic training were nikes. After I returned home - with a mere number of miles on them from PT - they went on the shelf. Years later, after a move, I grabbed the still 'nearly like new' running shoes and the soles were literally falling off.
I bought a pair of Nike running shoes back around 1980. The toe box didn’t fit my feet at all, and after I lost a couple of toenails I threw the shoes out. No idea what sort of mileage they would have been good for if I’d kept them.
Worst running shoes I ever had except for a pair of Brooks. Those about crippled me.
It was new balance 990s for me for PT. The uppers held well til I had to replace them when the soles wore out. They are will made and you will pay a lot for them but nearly bomb proof.
Hokas are great and I haven’t had an issue with stitching failing before the treads wear out unlike nike.
