Asics. Any Asics. I love them so much - and I have a reconstructed foot so I'm kind of a sneaker snob LOL
Asics and my foot shape did not get along. At all. If I'm going to wear a structured shoe, New Balances work best for me, but honestly for my very sore feet, I'm most comfortable in my Merrell's. However, I wouldn't necessarily recommend those to most people. I am surprised how much better I do in them, tbh. I can run longer with less foot pain.0 -

The Lunarglide is a stability shoe (good if you overpronate, very bad if you do not). I can't find much on the Roshes - they seem to be the lower end department store Nikes.
My suggestion echos the others - get fitted at a real running store (not a sporting goods store or outlet). If you truly need stability shoes, the Lunaglides are great (assuming you liked them of course). Just don't get hung up on the brand - Nike and every other major shoe company make good shoes.0 -
Every foot is different. I’d recommend visiting a specialty running store. As for me I currently run roads in Adidas Boston, Adios. Saucony Kinvaras. Brooks Ghost, Defyance. Nike Zoom Streak 6.1

Don't use your running shoes for other workouts...
And I agree with everyone about being fit for shoes. I'm a new balance girl myself, but that doesn't mean they would be right for you.
Wait, you're a girl??? For years I've been reading your username as TravisToadstock... lol. wrong on all accounts.
I get that a lot....TavistockToad wrote: »TavistockToad wrote: »steelaxitute2127 wrote: »Hi my fellow fitness friends! I’m in the market for new running shoes.

I've run in brooks, saucony, asics, mizuno - unfortunately every 2-3years manufactuers make changes to styles and they don't work for me any more - currently i'm wearing a brand called Topo Athletic - they have a wide/square toe-box which has helped on my long distance runs - but like everyone else has said you - you need to figure out what works for you based on running style0

I run in Saucony Tiumph ISO 4 now. I started with Adidas Duramo 7s, which were great. I then went to a running store, was analysed and bought a pair of trainers that felt very comfortable in store (Mizuno Wave Ultima 8), but when I started running in them they were awful. Too wide at the front and not supportive enough (neutrals, but so wide it affected my gait and prevented me from running any further than about 2k).
I am a UK size 8 (US 10), but in a lot of running shoes size 8s are slightly too short in length, yet men's sizing is generally too wide for me. Very frustrating.0 -
Been running on Hoka for a while now. I run on the road so I really like the cushion.0

I tried to run in something similar to HOKA and had nothing but issues0 -
My current road runners are Brooks Ghost 10s....they're comfortable and they were reasonably priced.0

As everyone’s saying it depends on your gait and style. I’m neutral usually but recently have oddly started to pronate slightly on just my left foot?!
I use Saucony and Brookes to outdoor run in. Well I did. Have a lower back issue in the SI joint so running unfortunately is off the menu right now. Go try a load of pairs on at a running shoe specialist and get their advice too.
Happy running.0
