I would say the most popular trainers and the trainers i would recommend the most are: Feiyues:Extremely good grip, good sensitivity, comfortable. The only downside to these trainers are there not very durable... training hard in them for a month would probably wear away most of the rubber. They are only cheap around £15 so they are extremely popular. Dart Series (4 latest version):Extremely comfortable, durable, great grip, good for absorbing impact cost around £30-£40 they do still sell there Nike dart 3's which i actually prefer the design. Nike articulates - Nike air series 6CThe Nike articulates have actually gone out of production but you still can buy them in some places eg. Internet websites abroad, eBay etc. The Nike air series 6C are a different version but they are practically the same. I love this trainers as they look good as well as being durable comfortable having good grip and goods shock absorption. They are very popular. The only down side if these trainers cost around £50. Sum up:I have listed these 3 trainers as they are probably some of the most popular trainers worn across the parkour community. There are other shoes such as novas and asics but i just hate the design from both of them. In the end thou its all up to you. I hope this helps any more questions just PM me. -Charlie.

true, great trainers wont make you a great traceur, but a poor choice in trainers can inhibit your learning. there is nothing worse for me then seeing someone training with a pair of skate shoes, or some air max 1's. there are so many factors that make a trainer good for parkour, grip, cushioning, materials, weight, but the most important thing for me is sensitivity, the way you feel whats under your feet. sensitivity=control,(or at least the ability to control)

thanks for the reviews i went and bought the nike airs for a very respectable £52 and i think they are a really good parkour shoe, light yet grippy and comfortable

£52 for trainers?! thats WAY too expensive
especially seeing as they are airs, airs are crap
my trainers that are specifically designed for parkour came to about £30
