Bah, don't make me pull out the old Escort sedan and lay down some ridiculously high acceleration numbers. 0-60 in no less than 9.4 seconds.

 

The Hennessey Venom GT is pretty impressive though for sure.

No matter what your choice I'd be interested in adding some superfeet or custom insoles. I don't in all my shoes, but all the ones I am going to walk a lot in. Well worth the $50.I've NEVER seen an athletic shoe with good arch support. I don't mean in the store, I mean in real life. I can break those down in a couple good walks.

I know I'm late to the discussion on this, But, you never want arch support. In reality, all you NEED is a sole that is tough enough for the terrain you are walking on, no heel and room for your toes to spread out. Most of the time a slab of leather is all you need. Off road good thin rubber is good for added traction.

However, good luck finding shoes like that. Merrel Trail Floves fit the bill, Vibram Five Fingers and the Altra shoe lines looks good. For boots/ dress shoes good luck, bunch of hippies making weak stuff I would expect to last for a couple months.

You don't need arch support?

If you are on concrete or even worse steel, you definitely need it. For dirt and sand, much more forgiving. I know the 5 fingers has a good story, but they are not good for man made surfaces. Especially if you are overweight.

This IA black and blue sale is driving me mad...had a 40.1 and a 3.4 in my checkout cart yesterday and just couldn't click the button.  Just not sure if I need(or want) 5K watts.  could do a 20.1 and 2 18 Death Rows.  My plan was a Cresendo 3500 and 1100.4(just love the look of the Nindo's) with 2 xcon 18's... Then Quentin is killing me with his Ethos sale...3 15's would love that 40.1.  Decisions decisions...Gonna wait til black friday and see what SSA does.

I rarely find a reason to disagree with you, but as someone with horribly pronated feet I MUST have arch support. My feet are so flat that when I walk barefoot my ankles twist and hurt. It causes me to walk funny which creates pain in my hips and lower back. If I don't use arch support I get leg cramps as well. Another issue for me is the way my arch rolls over the inside of a shoe with no support. I used to go through a set of shoes every month at work... it wasn't from the sole collapsing, but from the inside of my arch rolling the leather over the arch of the sole and tearing the seams of the shoe. Yes, I was wearing wide shoes.

 

My wife used to laugh at how flat my feet were and how I walked when barefoot. Now she finds nothing comical about how awful my feet are.

 

For ages I used custom support. But about 5 years ago I found superfeet. Every shoe I own has superfeet in them.

 

In my case, with such extreme pronation, an arch support is essential. As far as those of you with even just decent arches, your situation may be different... but I will never personally know.

Damn Swift!  Good time.  You are within a tenth in the 1/8th on my TA...and it is highly modified on bigs and littles.  Modern technology(and 150+ more ponies) is something else!
