    Depends on the type of running I am doing honestly. I prefer Brooks or Hokas if I am trail running and Onclouds/Nike for street or speed work. I have flinstone feet though so i need good i serts lol.

    Altras are the most comfortable shoes on earth. Go to Amazon $49.99 for Women Duo. You wont be disappointed.

    Normally New Balances for running but I treated myself to these yesterday since they were on sale.1x1qmnbkzlkm.jpg
    Did 7.70 miles in them today and found them very comfortable.

    Asics are my favorite. I went to a sports store and was planning on getting a different pair I tried on a few different kinds. I bought another pair of asics.
    Best thing to do is go to a sports store and try a few pairs on. They also can see you running or walking and what looks better.

    I know many people that love HOKA, Brooks, and ASICS. I dislike them all. Why am I telling you this? Simple, what I like and what you like may be very different. All of these are great brands but not for me. Go to a real running store and get fitted properly. Then try every shoe they recommend and find the one you like the best. FWIW - It may take some trial and error. I tried various shoes over the years before I settled on the few I actually like.

    Good luck.

    Hoka got me running again after some foot problems. The extra cushion made my feet feel so much better during a run, I just bought my second pair. Mine are the Arahi 3's.

    Brooks Ghosts or Glycerins fit my feet best. You really need to get fitted or try on different shoes to find which fit your feet best. We are all different.

    I've tired many, Nike, Saucony, Puma, but at the end Adidas worked for me the best. For trail running Merrell is my absolute favourite.

    I have a wide toe box and narrow heel, with a relatively narrow fit overall. I ran in saucony's for years. Switched to a minimal shoe about 8 years ago. NB minimus was my jam until they discontinued them. The recently brought them back but since then I have switched to the Merrel Trail glove. Both the NB minimus and the trail glove have a vibram sole with provides good foot protection and enough grip for a variety of activities.

    That's my curse too, making shoe buying one of my least favorite things. In fact I dread it, no one does combination lasts. I'm currently using NB 1340v2 (I pronate) with a lift to compensate for leg difference, level hips and help with lower back issues. They're pretty ugly though imo.

    Asics or Saucony. They fit my feet the best. Everyone is different.

    comes down to personal preference, but brooks ghosts are the only shoes that don't fall apart on me. and they are very comfy to me. but, others hate them.

    I loved Mizuno's but have subsequently switched to Hoka's and am on my 4th pair. I only run on blacktop so the extra padding absorbs a bit more of the shock and stress in my knees and ankles.

    I just bought a pair of New Balance Sonic V2s on clearance, and I love them. I run mostly on sidewalks and local tracks.

    Saucony Mirage were wonderful for me before I fully switched to flat shoes. I actually found the minimal shoes have helped my pronation immensely because I can adjust my foot placement and actually strengthern my feet. It takes a while to build everything up though.

    Do you find a noticebale difference in your lifting between the vapor glove and the trail glove. I usually run to my gym and back. I own both, but usually just wear the trail glove. I probably could do the vapor glove for the short distance I run if it would be beneficial.
