Running shoes

Eric_DeCastro

i have only ever run in Nike LunarGlide 5. since they are now discontinued, I will look into Lunarglide 6. But just as important as shoes is socks. I run in R-gear from road runner sports and also have Balega and feetures.

I keep trying different brands but always end up in Brooks. Right now I like Ravenna, it has cushion but also stability. Like someone else noted above, I had toe problems in the Ghost. I need to check out Mizuno after seeing all the love on here. I have running friends who are raving about Altra. Has anyone tried them?

Recently went from brooks ghost to Mizuno WaveRider 18 and have been really pleased but wouldn't hestitate getting back into Ghost 6. For the trails, I run in Brooks Cascadia 10.

My current shoes are Asics Kayanos. I've also used the Asics Nimbus and GT-3000. I do like Mizuno as well. I've never heard of the Karhu brand. I'll have to research it.

@oneloopygirl, what do you think of the GT-3000s? Your the only other person I've "met" who has used them. They're only available at specialty running shops (I talked to an Asics reps specifically about them). I think because I'm used to the Guide 7s and the GT-3000s, that's why I didn't like the GT-2000s

@lishie_rebooted‌ - I honestly didn't like them as much as other shoes I've worn. They are a little heavier than the Kayanos I recently got. I think they also have more correction than I need. When I was fitted, they said I have a very slight overpronation and the 3000s are great for that, but I honestly think it was too much for me. I wore them for 3 or 4 months, but never really felt like they were what I needed. I went to the Kayano, which is a more neutral shoe and really do like it better.

Road shoes are Saucony Hurricane 15s, three pairs in a cycle. About to slip a pair of Hurricane 16 into the cycle to allow me to retire another pair.

Trail shoes are Excursion GTX for winter and X0dus for summer and racing.

@oneloopygirl, the 3000s are pretty intense in the correction department which is why you can only get them from specialty stores.
The 2000s probably would have been enough if it's only a slight pronation (guessing since I haven't seen you run). But upon talking to the Asics guy, there's an extra length of material giving you that stability in the 3000s.

Hmm A pair of running shoes.......I have 5 so maybe I have issues.

For regular street running I rotate 3 different pairs of New Balance - all the 580V's

For trail running I have a pair of Adidas with a very aggressive tread which has been fantastic in the snow. The other is a pair of New Balance great for running the root bound wooded trails.

I always know the minute I slip a pair on if they're going to work, as someone else said it's like Cinderella.

I've got 4 pairs in rotation and 2 more in line so no judging.
I might go for trail shoes for next winter. I was looking at some on Runner's Warehouse last week. I'm also considering dabbling in trail running as well...

Primary - Brooks Ravenna
Wet/snow - Brooks Ghost GTX (waterproof...brilliant. Except in rain. Then the Gore-Tex backfires and when water gets in the top of the shoe, it doesn't leave.)
Trail - Saucony Xodus

I like the royal blue in the Saucony lines right now; thinking of taking the Guide or Ride for a spin whenever I can run again.

I love my Guides which is funny since I was originally fit for the Guide 5s 3 years ago and returned them for the Adidas Glide 4s. One is a stabilizer and the other is neutral.

The Rides are neutral but the Guides are the stability shoe.
The Triumpoh ISOs are really comfy but I don't know about running in them. I tried them on for fun

Yup, my current shoes are a mixture of moderate stability and neutral...I can't tell the difference; I just think "comfortable" and "cute colors." (Style first, power second, safety third!)

I tried on a ton of brands when I was fitted, but ended up with Mizuno Wave Inspire 10 and love them. They are lightweight, flexible, but still have great support.
Before I bought these I was attempting to run in Nike's (from Lunarglides to Free Runners) I was suffering from terrible shin splints and my arches would ache like no other. Not in these Mizuno's!

Love my Brooks Glycerins... Now that I'm fitter and have more miles under my belt, I'm curious to get re-fitted in a month or two and see if my needs have changed though.

Roxiegirl2008

I have not heard of them before. I am a Brooks Adrenaline girl myself. I tried a few other shoes awhile back and they just didn't work. I will not make that mistake again.

@Jackie0Marie‌ Nike Free's gave me terrible shin splints, they are basically a chronic condition for me now. Would give anything to go back and not run in those shoes. Have also been warned off of Nike by a podiatrist and Ortho doc.

@JenMaselli I was in Nike Pegasus 29s when I had my left knee and right ankle join the pain party. I'm not a huge Nike shoe fan anyway due to quality of a pair of their tennis court shoes I got in high school.

Roadie2000

I've ran in lots of different shoes and I really don't notice that much of a difference in running shoes anymore. I actually prefer more of a minimalist shoe these days because the thick heels in running shoes mess with my stride.

But for longer runs on pavement I like a little more cushion, though I haven't had shoes I really liked in a while. Asics and Brooks just never fit me right, they always seem to be too big in the toe box for me and seem to make my feet hurt. I think the last ones I've had that I liked were Nikes.
