    I love my Brooks, but I had to try on so many different pairs and brands until I found the right ones, and it wasn't necessarily just about the brand name. Find a good shoe store, specialized, I went to Fleet Feet but not sure if you have those and just try on everything with someone who knows what they're doing. Next time I go I might get Asics or something, but it's all about the style and fit that is right for your foot and activity level.

    Brooks Ghost...I have two pair in rotation and another pair in the box on standby. For trails, I use Brooks Cascadia.

    My favorites vary depending on what I'm looking for and how I'm feeling. Currently I'm going back and forth between a pair of Hokas and a pair of Brooks, both of which I really like. I'm coming off Saucony, and leave a pair at work as backup in case I want to run on a lunch break and don't have shoes with me.

    For trail running... I'm struggling there a bit. I've got a pair of La Sportiva which I thought I liked, but have had poor experiences with the last couple of times out. I'm hoping it's just a sock issue, but just in case I've got 2 pairs of new trail runners on the way from REI. If those don't work out, I'll probably go back to Inov-8, which I've had nothing but great luck with (I just hate how constantly and significantly they seem to change their product lines).

    ASICS Gel Cumulus. I own several generations and they never let me down. The toe box as of recent has narrowed, so order a half size larger. These shoes have Eliminated my shin splints, which I am prone to due to pronation issues.

    I have a love for Adidas and I also my Hokas, but ASICS for my daily endurance runs. I might even have a shoe collection of worn out shoes, I seem to keep them like trophys.

    I wore Saucony religiously, unfortunately they were extremely difficult to get when I moved. I now wear ASICS. Love both brands.

    My first pair of running shoes were New Balance. They did their job. Then, I went to a running shop & got fit and that's where I got my Sauconys. Adored them. After the running was done in them, I wore them as every day shoes until they got too painful to walk in. (sniff) Next, I was fit in Brook Adrenaline 16, and loved them, next fitting saw me again in Brooks Adrenaline 18. So then I scoured the net to find another pair in another color which I rotate. I have decided to use the 16's for trail runs.

    I did get a pair of Hoka One One's in there, ran several runs in them, and just never got comfortable. However, I use them as everyday shoes. I find with all the foot issues I've had, they give me the support I need.

    You need to try brands that fit you. I wore ASICS for years but they’ve changed so I tried Nike Zoom this time and love them
