cuz in terms of running I personally think the shocks are a waste of money. You'd be better off getting some real runners like asics, new balance, mizuno or nike runners.

well i think basketball or shocks would be best. But your shoes are probably jsut worn out and need replacing. I think shocks might be the best bet, but they aint super cheap.

It's just your ankles buddy, they aren't made to take impact like that. Your just going to have to live with it.

^ its not my ankles, it's the bottom of my feet. Like right before the toes and down for a few inches. I got a finish line catalog and saw the Adidas a^3 ghost rides, and the puma cell deka. Does anyone know if they're any good?

fifteen feet is pretty high to be landing on cement a different shoe may help a little but its mainly the fact that your dropping 15 feet onto cement

The best thing that would help you is training for parkour. Shoes will only do so much. That's like a guy with bad knees wearing kneebraces while skiing. Train your body to handle extreme pressure. There's tons of info on the net about getting your body ready to put it through the stuff that parkour demands...just google it.

NOT THE 4 Shox shoxes. Ankle roll like a bitch for no flat surface impacts, absolutley depise those things. Asics Gel KAyano are sick, as is the New balance 991, or the adidas supernova. THe Megarides are mor stable than the shocks, but I've never been impressed. IMHO, if you got wide feet, hit up the NB, medium Asics, adidas. THough if you got anyo other foot problems, I could probably get you the right direction for shoes.
