    Brooks for pavement. Hokas for trail. Head to a specialty shop where they can analyze your gait and get you fitted properly.

    Asics Gel Cumulus 14

    They're being discontinued :sad: I have a wide foot and I hear the 15's are narrower so I'm not sure what I'll try next.

    Ascis DS Trainers for everyday
    want to get a pair of DS Racers for next year races.

    DS Trainers aren't as good as my old DS Sky Speeds, but they don't make them any more :( .

    I assume you are asking because you are planning to buy a pair - it's very individual. If they are for running, especially, go to a real running store (not a big chain like ****s or Olympia Sports) and have them evaluate your gait and make suggestions that are based on your feet and gait. That could make the difference between injury and happy running. If it's just for a mix of gym workouts, get whatever suits your fancy!

    For myself - Asics GT2170, no longer made and the replacement GT2000 are not the same - at least I bought an extra pair! Also fell in love with Newtons - quite pricey but for me they are awesome - wear for races and long runs - increased speed and much quicker recovery

    I'm just asking for the fun of it - I like to see the variety of people's preferences. I got my gait analyzed last year and that's what my running store picked out. I used to wear Brooks, but they screwed my feet up at 6+ miles runs.

    Just don't always trust them just remember they are trying to sell you something and the only training they have had is probably 10 minutes by the rep selling them the analysis machine. It's useful information but they don't always get the analysis correct or recomend totally inappropriate shoes. Use some common sense

    As for me I like asics they work well for me,

    That is why I go to Fleet Feet which is a store that is specifically for runners. Yes, if you go to a store like D!cks or Sports Authority they don't know what they are talking about but a store like Fleet Feet or something similar that caters specifically to runners will know a lot more. They put me on a treadmill, taped me running and found the right type of shoe for me. I won't go any where else but there for my shoes.

    I have worn Nike Pegasus for years. They are just about the only shoes that come in different widths, except for New Balance shoes. And NBs are always too soft and gooshy for me. I need a shoe with a harder sole.
    About three months ago, I bought a pair of Altra zero-drop. They are naturally wide and I love them absolutely!

    Saucony Hurricane. I started out with the Ride but eventually changed over to the Hurricane.

    I've tried Asics - I hated them for me. My second last pair I tried Mizunos. They were decent fit but still preferred the Saucony.

    Nike Air Max X-Trainers and Nike Dart 10 for good weather / road / track.
    New Balance 810 Trail Runners for inclement weather, woods, etc.

    Pearl Izumi E:Motion road n1

    Just bought my third pair now. They turned my really expensive brooks into lawn shoes.

    Asics....whatever model happens to be on sale when I buy a new pair. I've used Saucony, Brooks, Nike, New Balance, and Reebok over the years, but lately I always go to Asics first.

    Asics Cloud Gel (or something close to that name). Thinking of switching it but haven't made the change yet.

    LOVE my Saucony Guide 6s. Replaced them in May and will probably replace them again next May! I tried 2 other brands and they just don't compare to my Sauconys!

    For running, I absolutely LOVE my Asics- Gel Nimbus 12s. :love:

    My feet look forward to being them, even after spending a 10 hour day on my feet in 3 inch thin heels! (Some days that is the only reason I get a run in - because my feet feel so good in my running shoes!!)

    Looking to replace them with the 13s before I can't find them anywhere. (I like getting the previous season for less $$ and I love the color combination of the 13s)

    Asics Gel Cumulus 15 --- love the extra cushion at the heel to prevent slipping.

    When I ran track in school I wore Saucony. Last year when I decided to hit the pavement again I picked up another pair. I love them. The ones I have now will turn into my grocery store shoes soon. I will be hitting a runner's store after the new year to get fitted for 'real' running shoes. I'm excited. :)

    Adidas here! I can't remember the model name (adizero maybe?) but it is new this year. I originally got a pair of
    Brooks at a running store after being analysed but they angered my knees so I went back and got the Adidas and they have worked out great!

    I'm on my second pair of Mizuno Wave Rider 16s. The biggest draw for me to these shoes vs. other similar neutral running shoes was the wider toe box feel.

    I love my runners!

    I rotate Brooks PureFlow, Nike Free 3.0 and Saucony Virrata, depending on the distance of the run and the quality of the ground. They all fall in the "natural running" category, but the cushioning is different in each of them.
