Best Running Shoe?

The marathon crew is big on Sketchers.

Probably worth a look.

I haven't worn Glycerins since the 13s but they treated me well for a few years, no complaints.

I got fitted for New Balance at a Fleet Feet store. They run some computer analysis on your feet shape, etc. and generate some recommended shoes.
I was skeptical when it suggested the New Balance. I had never owned a pair of NB, but I went ahead and followed their suggestion and I have been happy with the success.

I recommend you check out the Fit ID

I worked at a major running store for a long time and pretty much agree with that thread in the sense that all major brands could work for anyone except Nike. I’ve tried to run in Nike’s and had more mild injuries pop up than in all of my other shoes combined. Their shoes are cheaply made, overpriced, poorly constructed piles of shite and I have a theory that they specially construct all of their pro athletes’ gear like golf balls, running shoes, etc. and sell crap to the general public. I also can’t stand Hoka FWIW, it seems like they only work for people who weigh less than 180-190 because their zero-drop shoes are so soft that I feel like I’m sinking into a negative drop when I run in them. Probably doesn’t affect a 120 lb woman though.

Rant aside, I like Brooks Ghost a lot. You really can’t go wrong with them and they’re a good all around shoe period. If you like the feel of them then they’re great

Brooks Ghost 11 are the best I’ve tried in a LONNNNNGGGGG time.

okay notd thanks for the info. That’s what I’m afraid of with those glycerine as well with that new foam they use. I’m only 160lbs but still don’t want to feel like I’m running on sand half way through my run

I had a neutral stride when I was younger but now pronate. Have Brooks Adrenaline and like them. Go to a specialty running store. Mine puts you on a treadmill and films you running to determine what shoe is best for you.

Altra Vanish-R for me.
