Looking for a new pair of sneaks and wondering what everyone's opinion on their favorite one is. Asics seem to get a pretty good review and that's what I wear right now but I'm looking to maybe try something different. I've got a fairly wide foot with poor arch.

    Brooks Dyad is the best for me - but that's pretty irrelevant, the only way to find the right shoe is to try them on.

    We are all different. Find which best works for you. For me, I like the Adidas Supernova.

    I tried on and tested a bunch of stuff at the running store, and eventually went with New Balance. So far they have not let me down; I'm very happy with them. Definitely go to a running store and get fitted, because you may be different.

    Love my Brooks ghosts. Tried the adrenalines everyone raves about this time- and will definitely be going back to my tried and true Ghosts.

    Brooks Ghost for me, too. Although everyone is different, so agree with previous posters about going to a running store.

    I'm all about the Asics. Tried a bunch of other brands, but keep going back to what works.

    Newtons! Asics fit my feet best, but Newtons feel better in action.

    Nikes do not make a long enough shoe for my foot, last time I checked, nor do Reebock. My feet aren't really that big, either.

    I wear either Brooks Ghosts, ON Cloudsurfers or Saucony Triumph, my favorites are the ONs.

    Also if you are running and sort of distances, get your shoes 1/2 size to a full size bigger than you normally wear so you lessen your chances of losing toenails.

    I love Brooks too. I agree with the others. Go to a running store where they can check your arch,etc to recommend a good shoe for you. I was Asics forever, but when I switched to Brooks, per their suggestion, it made a big difference.

    I am on my second pair of Nike Free Runs and I love them. They are thin and light but I love how the sole is designed and the material on my toes are not restricting at all.

    Depends very much on the terrain you run on, and your gait. I'm increasingly using Inov-8 Race Ultra for trails and Road Claws for road.

    Both have low drop and good ground feel.

    This is tricky. For me, with narrowish feet and long toes, buying shoes too long puts the ball of the foot in the wrong part of the shoe, and makes them too wide to be stable on my feet. On the other hand, my feet don't swell much lengthwise. So it's a YMMV thing.
