I probably need to just take the time to visit a legit running shoe store. I think it will be worth the time Currently using Hokas but Brooks has more readily available 4E widths. I think only one model in Hokas had extra wide. Of course if you are a 2E, then you will have better luck. I found the toe box in the Hokas to be wider and more comfortable overall. I usually run between 4-6 miles a day and they are holding up well. Brooks tended to wear out a bit faster than I've seen with my Hokas |

Learn to stop heel striking. Zero drops help with that. The more cushion, the slower you'll run with heavier and less responsive shoes. A lot of cushion also can lead to overpronation. A good running shop will help you determine the correct amount of cushioning. People buy huge cushioned shoes, then heel strike, when if they would strike on the midfoot they would need much less cushioning and run with less impact. Higher turnover with shorter choppier strides is faster with less impact. I'm not being critical of your running, but a lot of people run with poor form and blame the shoes for their problems and discomfort. Finally, when you find shoes that work well for you, buy that second pair. |

Go to a running specific store and get your GAIT analyzed.
I am a heel toe runner and the shoes that have more sole on the heels have helped me tremendously. Everyone runs a bit differently and let the experts do their work at the store. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TangoFoxtrot: I double checked with google and 300-500 miles was the usual recommendation, so two months it is, or about $900 a year. Walking is high-impact.

Walking is high-impact. Those that call it low-impact don't walk much. It’s also weight dependent. But walking is definitely not high impact, you can easily double to triple the miles compared to running. There is not only more obvious “impact” while running, but the slippage on the tread wear is considerably more. |

OP--sounds like you need to get fitted. I got fitted years ago. It's why (when I was still running...) I only wore Brooke Adrenaline series. They were awesome. I was only running 3-5 miles every other day, but I ran the bridges downtown, so a lot of inclines. They would last me 6ish months per pair.

I rotate Nike Pegasus series. New pair is used on our peloton tread plus for about 100 miles then I’ll run outside with them for 100 miles. New pair is purchased in conjunction with transitioning to outside.

ASICS Superblast lover here. Then maybe Hoka Carbon X for races. Hoka Speedgoat 5 for mountain running.
Like others have mentioned, you have to switch them out after a while. Even if the tread still looks good. I do 400miles typically. |

If you’re me, it’s ASICS Noosa Tri. To bad they look like a rainbow shit all over them.
But you’re not me, so go get fitted. |

I just bought the newest generation of Nimbus. Great shoe, very soft. I have high arches and struggle finding good shoes. Previous generation of Nimbus (22-24) sucked.
Also, if you are running until your soles run out, depending on your body weight, you are probably doing it wrong. I pitch them when I start getting hurt, which is usually 250 - 300 miles, but I weigh about 220. |

I like the ALTRA 1.5
Really light. REALLLY Light. Not much of a training shoe, as they don't last very long, but they are DAMN FAST. Your feet will grow if you start wearing ALTRA shoes, you'll gain at least half a size in six months, and your toes will spread out, a year into ALTRA and you will have to change ALL of your other footwear to the widest available foot bed. |

$25 Amazon brand.
Fix your body, don’t use shoes or other BS as a crutch. Insoles can be helpful but they only shine when muscle groups start to fail and form slouches. Maybe if you’re rocking ultra marathons $250 shoes may shine but my sub $30s have been handling vanilla marathons just fine. I get a chuckle out of how much gear nerds run around with these days |

I usually wear Brooks Glycerin, but have been meaning to hit the local store and see what they have on the shelf. Try something different.

Specific model recommendations are useless here unless we know your details. What is your pronation? Do you heel, mid-foot or toe strike? High, low or medium arch? Type of running? Weekly miles?
A running store will put you on a treadmill to determine some of that. Once your gait is analyzed, you will try on different shoes that match. I heel strike, over-pronate, have a medium arch, run 15-20 miles per week, half treadmill, half concrete. After trying the model of shoe in different brands that suit me, the Brooks Adrenaline were my choice. I have two pair, alternate them so I don't run back to back days in the same pair, and trade out at 300 miles. |

I mostly jog on sidewalks and get foot pain occasionally from a prior break, so I don’t mind spending a little more. Past few pairs in the $125-150 range have been lackluster. I wear NoBullz trail runners, but I second the “go to a running store” comment. |

Have you tried ‘not running’? Usually helps the need for specialty shoes.

Every foot is different, and everyone uses their feet in different ways when running. Go get fitted for a shoe. Me personally I’ve had most of the popular brands. 12 hour shifts on tile floors, and running 2-3 times a week. Hokas and onclouds were underwhelming after 2 pairs a piece. Brooks are what do be the best. I work in glycerin gts and adrenaline gts, and run in adrenaline and revels.

You can find all sorts of running shoe reviews on youtube. I usually default to Seth DeMoor because he reviews so many of them and often talks about small nuances that others have no idea about. He also warns when features change in new models, sometimes for the worse. It became apparent in comments that some people agree and many disagree when he points out a change that made a new model not work as well for him. In a couple of cases when I bought that shoe anyway it turned out to be a disaster because that new model does not work for me either in exactly the way he warned about. So when I am shopping for new shoes I listen very carefully to what he says.
