    Hands down Saucony for me.

    I've tried a few other brands - absolutely detest Asics (which from what I understand is not uncommon for people who prefer Asics to hate Saucony and vice versa). My last pair were Mizunos. I liked them but still prefer Saucony.

    As for the minimalist shoes, I would really love to use them but I just can't. I need a corrective shoe.

    I have really wide feet, so I find that the Nike toe box is too narrow. I like Saucony or Asics 'cuz they don't crush my toes.

    Same reason I don't do Nike but love Saucony.

    Asics all the way xD. I got a pair of cheapy ones from a friend as a sort of "Oh I heard you're a runner, have a gift!" thing, and I liked them enough to seek out properly fitted ones in the correct size. I use the Kayano 19s in wide width and they are roomy and comfy and I love them!

    I am totally willing to try out Brooks and Mizuno, but until I need a new pair of shoes and they no longer make the Kayanos the way I like them, I'll stick to these.

    Love my Newton's!!! Was a bit skeptical at first but after getting fitted at the running store that's what they recommended. Now I can't imagine running in anything else.

    The brand doesn't matter, the fit does. Go to a podiatrist and get your shoe fitted to match your gait.

    Love my Ascis Nimbus for long runs. Have a pair of Ascis NEO 33 that I use for short runs and hill work.

    I thought I loved New Balance until 6 months ago when I realized the pair I was wearing hurt my feet as I have feet "issues." I found Saucony and love them! So comfortable to run in. I'm definitely hooked. I didn't know what comfortable shoes were until I found Saucony. I like Saucony because they are plenty wide and I order a wide on top of that to accomodate my bunions. I remember wearing my New Balance last January when I would walk for a few miles. Every step caused me to say "Ow." Now, I only experience pain after several miles and its light.

    I ran in Asics for a long time, but the last time I went to get fitted I ended up with the Brooks Ghost. I REALLY like them, and plan on getting another pair when these wear out. I do have a pair of Asics trail shoes with only a few miles on them and will probably go back to them this winter (I prefer trail shoes for snow covered roads).

    I have a pair of New Balance 890v2 and Saucony Kinvara 3. I love them both.
    I wouldn't say that all shoes of the same brand are created equal though. i donated a pair of New Balances because they just didn't feel right on my foot.
    I open to trying all shoes as long as they fit in my budget.
