Shoe halp!

[KingOfLaughter]

Soz I'm looking for shoes in US size 15.5-16 for less then $200 which are good for Parkour, I found the K-Swiss Ariake, however the site only goes up to size 8.

Any recommendations on shoes?

this should work (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=large+shoes)

Except it doesn't cover the good for parkour part.

Are your feet particularly wide? If not, then I think Puma might do shoes that large. I've always had good experiences with Puma and parkour type activities. I can't remember off the top of my head how large the shoes are though.

If you check the home site of that shoe, they go up to size 12. I know that's still not enough for you, but just remember to check the manufacturer of a shoe you like for size options.

Definitely not good for Parkour... But I wear Magnum boots. They have odd sizes (14.5W, 15; for example. I take either of those). They're EXTREMELY comfortable... and quite durable as well.

Just figured I could throw that out there too :smalltongue:

[KingOfLaughter]

I checked K-Swiss.com which only said they had them in 8. =P

My feet aren't wide, but my toes are, if that makes sense. My foots widest at the base of the big toe.

I'll give Puma a check.

Thanks! =]

This is what I found on 6pm.com

I just searched athletic shoes. The size wasn't a problem at all. I'm guessing you could go with a cross trainer?

[Sacrieur]

I never felt like K-Swiss Ariakes were all too special, but other traceurs swear by them...

Anyway, any running shoe works so long as it is comfortable. Personally I hit up the barefoot alternative and invest in vibram fivefingers (http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/index.htm) since they're awesome. Barefoot has notable advantages =D

I agree with going for something more minimalist thought I'm not a great fan of VFFs myself. My personal choice of shoe is the Terra Plana Neo (http://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/neo.html/) for general athletic activity. However, I recently invested in a pair of Merrell Trail Gloves (http://www.merrell.com/US/en-US/Product.mvc.aspx/22875M/50392/Mens/Barefoot-Trail-Glove/Black/J85525?dimensions=0) which are also very good.

I found a pair I like, that are intended for rock climbing, etc.

They'e not the greatest for parkour, but they give great grip, and durability, which is more along the lines of what I need, as the type or parkour me and my fiends are doing is a lot rougher, and is more on sand/dirt, and rough walls, etc.

Check it (http://fiveten.com/products/product-search/tag/footweartype/Freerunning_m23/). I have D'Aescents.

[KingOfLaughter]

I want the enforcer but it only goes to 14... =/

I'm getting the Camp Four. It's only 15 but it should last until I get my army boots. =P

I don't know about exceptionally large feet, but FiveFingers (http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/index.htm) are fantastic for parkour.

I should have read through the thread first. It was posted earlier.
