Title: Looking for suggestion on new shoes Post by: Nate Page on April 08, 2011, 07:48:49 am It's about time that I get new shoes. I usually change at about 300 miles. I know it's probably overzealous but I like to change early, especially since I'm a little fatter right now, to avoid potentially injury. I've ran in the Asics 20xx series for about the last 8 years. I have not really tried any other brands so I was thinking about branching out, but not sure what to try. I'm 5-7 and about 175 pounds (hope to get down to 155). I have pretty normal arches but do overpronate quite a bit. I run about 30-60 miles a week with most of it at 7:30 pace. Any suggestions would be great! My sister was recommending the Saucony Guide or Brooks Adrenaline
Thanks Nate Title: Re: Looking for suggestion on new shoes Post by: Joe Furse on April 08, 2011, 11:42:15 am I do love the Brooks Adrenaline. I've had 2 pairs so far and put over 1000 miles on each of them with no problems. Of course it all depends on how your foot works, so I'd recommend getting a gait analysis thingy, but if you're a moderate stability shoe kind of guy then the Adrenalines are great. Saucony ProGrid Guide is my second favorite, but I haven't had a pair in a long time. Mizuno Wave Inspire is a distant 3rd (not enough forefoot cushion).

I Progrid guide felt nice but were very narrow and my fleet feet stopped carrying muzunos so it narrowed down my selections. Also tried on Nike Lunarglide, weirdest feeling shoes ever
