    I love anything Nike...Shox are by far my fav but they are expensive. I have a very high arch and they are the only shoe that I have plenty of support in. I also own a pair of Adidas, but when I wear them for running (only b/c they match what I'm wearing-haha) I always end up with cramps in my feet.

    I'm loving Asics right now. They are super comfortable and the first shoes I could run in w/out discomfort :)

    Everybody's foot is different, I would definitely go to a running store and get fitted properly. You may end up paying full prize ($100+) for a pair of shoes, but then you know what to buy (online?) next time and you're less likely to end up with impact injuries from improper footwear.

    I have the Saucony Grid Cohesion simply because the arch fits me like a glove.

    My hubby and I both invested in Brooks after we checked them out in a local Running store. They are light weight and very flexible. I hurt my knee while wearing a pair of Nikes and I have stayed away from them since, lol! I would look for them in town that way you can try them on and get a better feel of them on your feet.

    I have a trusted pair of Reebok DMX Foam, I got them 2007 but only properly started wearing them this year when I started my regimen. I have size 9 (UK) feet so for me to get a good pair of shoes without costing the Earth is great and they are so comfortable, like they were made for me.

    I have just brought a pair of Asics Gel Trail, they should be good but I need to go for a few walks in them before I run.

    Go to a running store, and pay the money, at least once. It made all the difference in the world to me.

    Brooks is what I've worn for the past year, it's the best fit for my foot. I went with this shoe and style after going to a running shoe to get fitted with the right shoe. Looking to get a new pair next month. Usually I get 300 miles apx out of mine but use them for running plus the rest of my workouts.

    Saucony Kinvara 2

    They weigh nothing and have a minimalist heel which keeps me on my toes.

    i wear Montrails because i have a wide foot and have had several foot surgeries and they are comfortable whatever exercise i am doing. They are awesome from the very first day you put them on!

    Have worn Brooks for years and I've just switched to Ascis (Christmas present!!!) When I was very obese, Brooks were recommended for their support and they have the wide widths in many options. Now I don't need the wide width and Ascis has come highly recommended so I'm giving them a try as I begin to prepare for my first 1/2 marathon in June.

    I suffered with injuries for months running in the wrong shoes. Come to find out I'm an over pronator. Go to a running store and let them analyze your run........it's totally worth it. I now wear a Brooks stabilizing shoe.......

    New Balance 760's for running, and Vibram Five Fingers Bikila's for working out in and soon to be running in. Will run in the Vibrams only once the New Balance wear out.

    I tested my foot and found my running shoe based on that.. I loooove my Saucony Progrid Triumph 7's! I've never had an injury, and mainly run with a neutral stride, mid-foot strike on pavement.

    I agree with versuga....Mizunos are my shoe! They're a little pricier but when you run in them, you'll know why!

    Definitely heed the advice to go to a running store for a proper fitting. Everyone's foot and gait are different. I ended up with Brooks Glycerin, while my daughter needed an entirely different brand. I'm a supinator and have big toes that curve up on the ends (tendon on top of the toe is too short) so I need a wide base of support and lots of toe room. My daughter pronates slightly, so we have vastly different shoe needs. It's worth the expense to get a proper fit.

    Good luck!
