Altra Escalantes, Altra One, Altra Torin, Topo Athletic. That’s my 4 road shoes.

Trails are Nike Kiger and Altra Lone Peak.

Saucony probably makes the best and most underrated shoe on the planet. I feel like they never get their due respect.

I ran in Kinvaras from the 3’s to the 7’s. Was my go to shoe but I like the space of the Altras.

i love saucony man. but i love NB, Asics, and Brooks as well.


to the OP, there's a plethora of options out there. don't go pick the coolest looking Nike. try out some of the other options people have thrown out. they make better shoes than 90% of what nike floods the stores with. not knocking good nike shoes, they just have a lot of crap as well.

I’m on my 4th pair of altra paradigm. They don’t look great but I’ve never had a more comfortable and supporting shoe.

Alternate between a pair of Brooks Ravenna and Saucony Guide ISO

Had Brooks Ghost before that and loved them

I have Mizuno Wave Creations and love them.

If you run a lot, I highly suggest going to a local running store and have them fit you. They took measurements on my feet, brought out 3 different brands they thought would be the best fit, and had me run on the treadmill with them. Paid more than what I was wanting to but its been 100% worth it so far.

i want you to know that i bought a new pair of sauconys last night and thought about you and your insistence that they be noted and respected.

Merrell and Altra do still to my knowledge.

I think Vibram is still out there but they were never an option for me.

Brooks has disappointed me over the past 3 years, as they've discontinued some that I loved. Lesson learned: if you find some you like, buy at least 3 pair.
