Interesting, I've seen several complaints about this.

I only wear name brand shoes for special occasions as they are costly to wear. For everyday wear, I would wear inexpensive footwear, and sometimes they outlasts name brand shoes!

I am a runner and have used NIKE in the past, I am a big ASICS GEL fan...They will run you a little more, but I find them to be more comfortable....

When purchasing footwear it is not a bad idea to check the stitching for quality and uniformity, bend the shoes if possible to check for signs of separation issues, and pull at the sole all the way around to check for the same.

Very helpful complaint for Nike wearers. People become dedicated, and certain brands are more compatible with a given foot.

FWIW I can't wear Nike, they hurt my feet. I recently had trouble with a pair of New Balance sneakers, after wearing the brand for many years. Turns out it was the shape of the shoe and its toebox, and I simply switched to another NB style to eliminate the problem.

Good luck with you new brand(s) of sneaker.

I wonder what's going on with Nike quality, complaints about quality are becoming more and more common.

Being avid runners I'm sure you and your wife have done a lot of research about shoes, but I recently bought Saucony Hattori and love them...they do run a tad small, at least for women so I had to buy a 1/2 size larger than my normal size.

stop down to your local walmart and purchase a tube of shoe glue for soles. i had this happen on a shoe and used this product. after severe use, the sole is still attached and shows no signs of coming off.

The same thing happened to a pair of my son's Nike sneakers after about a month's use. I returned them to Kohl's, and they were happy to take them back. When I picked out a different pair, they even made sure to apply the coupon I had used on the defective ones. I've purchased just about every brand for my son over the years and never had that happen before. He gets the most wear out of New Balance. No shoe glue required.

Avid jogger/runner for years, sometimes moreso than others, that being said, I've gravitated through and to Aasics gels, the more expensive (on sale) the better. I find a pair good for about 6 mos before they're relegated to other duties.

+10 ript. Most running shoes, even "brand name" are no longer stitched. They will have the illusion of stitching but almost all are simply glued onto the top of the shoe.

My Brooks have been great! Very durable runners.

I had a pair of Brooks Hurricane 7's and they were awesome for almost 2 years. I recently bought a pair of Brooks Hurricane 10's and I cannot wear them. They hurt my feet so bad I could barely walk after a couple of miles. The employee at Hibbett's recommended Asics GT-2160's and they are so comfortable and I can run again! I love to run and my feet are my most important part of it, and if it doesn't feel right, they will go back.
