The five ten freerunners seemed like they would be great when I got them. I'm not saying it's a bad shoe only that the only thing it grips is concrete and brick. So if you aren't using it for that don't get it. Also highly expensive. The ariakes where pretty good but didn't meet my expectations. They weren't as comfortable as I believed they would be. Like he said they are very stiff. The Nike Frees are really dangerous. I messed up my ankles basically jogging. The only pair of shoes I really really liked are the Nike Air codes. I have used them for two years (not just for parkour) and they haven't let me down. I started using them after a year of having them (for parkour) and even though part of the grip has been torn off, they still are amazing. The sole is sponge and feels like walking on air. I love it. The shoe isn't stiff at all anymore but still maintains a good shape (I've washed them too) I am about to buy a second pair. It may not work as well for you and are $70 so I'd test some out on your own enviroment.Austin Koonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546673618916701393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847860668378301764.post-35113537843309631562008-07-23T09:06:00.000+01:002008-07-23T09:06:00.000+01:00HI iv been doing parkour for a few yrs and iv trie...HI iv been doing parkour for a few yrs and iv tried all kinds of shoes in my time.

I don't know if it is the grip or the fact the shoe is so rigid that i cannot wrap my toes around the rail for improved grip and balance.<BR/><BR/>ZenoTraceurZenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765394890731025247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847860668378301764.post-20604797110965758952007-11-04T18:48:00.000+00:002007-11-04T18:48:00.000+00:00I probably would say the Nike Darts overall are th...I probably would say the Nike Darts overall are the best trainer, as they are cheap, light-weight, good shock absorption.<BR/><BR/>I just find the Nike Dart properties of rubber on the sole cheap and waxy when new, they really take a while to become good at traction.<BR/><BR/>So far I find the K Swiss Ariake the best grip for Parkour, until it gets wet, then they are the most dangerous. <BR/><BR/>Three down points so far about the Ariake is the lack of sensitivity to feel your path, the stiffness of the shoe, does not allow me to wrap my feet/toes around rails and like Blane has said can be slippy and lastly is the poor ventilation to enable my feet to breathe. However I still really like this shoe and I will give it a good month more to pass final judgement.<BR/><BR/>Ви: Your point about washing your trainers interests me. As in... Would this improve the trainer as it softens it or would it ruin the trainer? So that is something to think about cheers.<BR/><BR/>For me the perfect Parkour shoe would be the sensitivity and of Nike Free, the grip of the Nike Air Pegasus (with no plastic parts on sole), rubber sole properties of the K Swiss Ariake and the ideal price of the Nike Darts (as your shoe will not last long, so price is important).<BR/><BR/>ZenoTraceurZenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765394890731025247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847860668378301764.post-31387195180663059582007-11-04T18:46:00.000+00:002007-11-04T18:46:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.TraceurZenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765394890731025247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847860668378301764.post-58995835667312591422007-11-03T21:56:00.000+00:002007-11-03T21:56:00.000+00:00Yeah, Darts are realy good...

Generally I think they're suited to slightly more experienced traceurs as they might lack the kind of shock absorbtion a beginner will rely on whilst their landings still need practice.<BR/><BR/>The only (and major) downfall to them is that they tend to be really slick and slippery on rails compared to a running shoe. If they could fix this, I would be wearing them now I think.<BR/><BR/>I've gone back to Nike Darts though, I love and trust them... this is my second pair. I started with old Fila trainers, moved on to heavy Merrell's then found Nike to suit me best. The Darts are relatively cheap compared to other models such as the Pegasus and I would highly recommend them to anybody.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, nice post mate, hope you're well and training hard. Let me know what you think of the Ariakes. :-)<BR/><BR/>-BlaneChris 'Blane' Rowathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13050917713159548998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847860668378301764.post-63098894228456499562007-10-25T21:12:00.000+01:002007-10-25T21:12:00.000+01:00Like to know how are they =)Like to know how are they =)Ви.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17747103888456335357noreply@blogger.com
