BEST running Shoe?

Asics GT-2110
 
There is no best shoe. It all depends on your arch, pronation level, racing/training, heel strike/ball strike, weight, etc.

Yep, go to a good running store that will do a gait analysis so you can get the best shoe for you.

I myself like the Nike Air Vomero, it has plenty of cushioning and not too much motion control (good natural gait shoe).
 
I use to say Nike but now tip my had to Newton Running. New company out of Boulder, CO. They have a lot of high profile traithletes who can out run anyone at EF.

Put 450 miles on my first pair. Waiting for the second.

Expensive? Yes. But you can try and return within 30 days if you don't think they are worth it. And they come with a nice hat, socks, spare laces, and a nice bag.

Yea but my money's on EF in a barfight.
 
The best shoe is the one you can comfortably run 5 miles in without killing your feet. Their is no one model that is better than all the others - it is very individual.

I like Teva's and New Balance models, and don't care for Asics or Saucany. I don't care for Nike or Reebok either. But this is a personal choice.

My recommendation is to go to a running store and see what fits your foot the best. Once you find one that works for you, stick to it.
 
i really depends on your foot and your needs. best thing to do is to go to a running store and have your foot evaluated to see what you need. Based on that you should be able to pick on the works with your feet and your needs.

Asics Gel Kayano13. I like them because they have support for over-pronators like me but not as weighty or tank-like compared to the Brooks Beast, which is like running in concrete. They also come in widths and big sizes, for me that's the key as I wear Size 15 or 16.
The toe box is roomy and the heal tight. So my toes have room but my heal doesn't slide-less chance of blisters or black toes. They have good air flow and ventilation which is good in running in Arizona where night time lows are often a cool 90+ ouch. May be too much air flow for you rust belters.
The good and bad of this shoe-they stopped making them I gues we are up to Kayano 14. The good news is that huge sizes now on sale $90 at RRS. I also trash the stock insole, they are garbage and substitute the RRS insoles get a few pairs of shoes and insoles and rotate.
Judging from the marathons and 10k's around these parts Asics is king/ and queen-in fact it's hard to find a gal not running Asics.

I agree with Dial Tone, there is no best shoe for everyone because different shoes are better for different styles of feet. I like Adidas runners, Supernova Controls, they are perfect for my high arches and narrow feet. I've also noticed that these and other Adidas last longer than other shoe brands. Nikes, with some exceptions, feel great but wear out quickly. New Balances are great for straighter feet. Mizunos seem to work best for lighter than average people. And yes, lots of people love those Asics Kayanos but they're like $135. A good running shoe specialty store is your best resource to find the right shoe.
