Always stick to one particular brand. Our feet muscles get comfortable with according to a particular brand. Changing shoes brand will increase muscle tension and increase the chances of injury.

Due to lots of images and videos of armed forces doing their exercise and training in military boots people are thinking that boots are more comfortable for running and jogging. It's a wrong myth.
