I sell shoes/clothes and I mainly wear Nike for both but the modern Nike shoes just aren't durable. I bought brand new Nike running shoes and within a week or 2 I stepped on a twig and it put a hole in the mesh. I do have some Nike tennis shoes (actual tennis shoes with extra protection on the front) and they have held up fine but I only like to wear them on hard surfaces. For running shoes I've had the same pair of Saucony's for 6+ years now and they are super light weight, durable, comfortable and I literally can slip them on even with laces! $20 at Academy pre Covid.

For insoles I had foot issues and really liked the blue/navy/red Dr Scholls but finally got away from them but if I had issues I'd switch them out. The added weight from insoles would be zero or unnoticeable unless you had stiff insoles from some sort of ailment but it'd still be hard to notice. The newer Brooks running shoes have really bouncy/spongy soles and I know a bartender that wears them. Nike's w air pockets could be another option but as someone who sells preowned shoes it's very common for them to pop!! Hoka's and On Cloud are 2 of the most popular modern running shoes but Hoka's have the least durable soles and On Cloud is #2 for me with the least durable soles but that's if they're mainly worn on concrete/harder surfaces. I would also experiment with Skechers, a guy I played w had neuropathy and that's the only shoes he could wear, Yoga foam anything are extremely comfortable.

I got the Nike running shoes for $35 at Burlington and they also had some Merrell trail shoes for the same price but they didn't last either. Since Covid the best deals on new men's shoes will be at most Marshall's stores the first or 2nd monday in Jan (look for the yellow tags), I got Nike tennis shoes for $30 and they typically have Skechers on sale too! Burlington was the go to place for deals on athletic shoes pre Covid but that dried up really bad!!! I once got a carload of Nike Golf spikes for $20 each but now they'll be $60!!!

Just wondering what everyone thinks of Pechauer cues? I am thinking about purchasing one and just wondering if anyone here plays with a Pechauer. Or knows anything about them recently?

It's always nice to have some good recommendations on a cuemaker before purchasing.

p.s. people, don't start. I am talking about insults, twisting things around, trashing & bashing, etc. Just don't start.
