What shoes do you love for running outdoors?

I run in Brooks and Mizuno. But that is because of my gate, weight, running style, distance goals, etc.

Point: go to a good running store and spend 15 minutes with someone that can help guide you to a good shoe that fits your needs and goals.

Personally, i hate Nike Pegs. Crimped my toes too much... But i have wide feet.

Good luck!

I can speak for one of those small, independently run outdoor shops because I run one -- and we do NOT just try to sell you an expensive shoe! We need our customers to come back or we will absolutely go out of business. Try to go to a small store if you can -- you'll most likely get the best customer service and advice you've ever had. People at ****'s and Sports Authority work there because they need a job. People work at small running shops because they love helping people with running.

As far as a good trail shoe, check out La Sportiva. They are my favorite brand for running, hiking & climbing.. I think I have 10 models of their shoes. It's true Italian-made quality that lasts forever. My favorite running shoe by them is the Quantum, but they have a new one coming out this month called the Helios that is supposed to be an amazing minimalist shoe. I'll be trying it out when it hits our shop later this month.

Inov-8 is also worth checking out if you want minimalist. I agree with the above posters on Brooks too -- And Saucony!

Good luck on finding your perfect pair!
