I'm looking for suggestions for running shoes.

Right now I have a pair of Brooks - Ravenna 4's that I love. I'm sad to say they are coming to the end of their life and I need a new pair of shoes. I'm looking for something with a good arch and lots of support. The primary use will be for running; mostly trails and on asphalt.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

    Why not buy another set of them if they are working for you?

    Went to a Running Specialty sports store and did a bare foot gait analysis on the treadmill and then tried on at least 8 pairs of shoes across different brands before settling on a pair. They let me run on the treadmill with the shoes I was trying on. 6 Losers 2 Winners. Mizuno Wave Inspire 11 and Saucony Guide 7.

    Just to add if you do decide to buy multiple pairs(I understand its quite an investment to have more than one pair) then get the same ones but in a different colour or change the laces as it just makes life so much easier to stop you mixing them up

    This search string/link will bring up various discussions about running shoes.

    The problem with us suggesting running shoes is they are very personal fit. What works and fits me may not fit you the same way. Certain brands I cannot wear. There is nothing wrong with the brand, the fit just does not work for me. Other people love them.


    Personally, I stick with what works and have kept in the same shoe and model for the past several years. If you do decide to try another shoe, I'd get fitted at a running specialty shop.
