What shoes you wearing now and what next?

Hi Folks,
I always am interested in what other runners are wearing and I always tend to look at others shoes in races...

Just wondering, what shoe are you wearing now, your reason for wearing it and what you plan on purchasing next?

Cheers.

Asics GT 2160 for me cause they were the ones recommended when I first went to get a pair of runners, well actually they were GT 2150's back then. Went for a 2nd opinion in Amphibian King this year and after trying a whole bunch of different shoes, they figured the Asics suited me best.

Rotating Adidas Response Cushion with Nike Lunarglides 1.
Will probably get another pair of Lunarglides next, or try something new.

Nike lunarglides 2 and saucony kinvara. not running a huge amount at the mo so will stick with lunarglides as like the cushioning. kinvara good for fast runs. also have Brooks green silence but find them too hard and make me run with a weird style.

As you can see from my other post this morning, I've just started with my new pair of Inov8 Road-X 255s.
Changed from using Asics DS Trainers and 2 runs in I've no problems.
They're a starter shoe on the route to natural running - though I doubt I'll ever go fully down that route, maybe one or two more steps on the way, but can't see myself in fully flat shoes.

Asics Gel-Kayano 17 - would prefer to be able to move to something less clunky, but I'm not getting injured in these so there's a lot to be said for that. Next shoe I get? Probably another pair of the same, will be watching the sales.

Current two pairs are Nike Lunar Elites, will be sticking with Nike for next pair but finding it very hard to get Lunar Elites online, might have to switch to Lunarglide 3 and give them a go...

Saucony kinvara
Saucony fastwitch x 2

I'll just list those ones. One pair for each day of the week.

I want Brooks pure connect and some bare-x. Will wait till I have money.

I'm currently rotating a lot of shoes, all pretty much lightweight and neutral. I have Brooks Green Silence (use for track sessions) Adizero Ace (use for general runs) Nike Lunar Racers (short races and Tempos) and Suacony Kinvaras (general training and Long Races).

I used to use Nike Lunarglides a lot more but find them very clunky now. I would use them for the odd recovery run but I don't think I'll be buying another pair.

Of all the other shoes I regularly use I have to say my favourite is the Saucony Kinvara as it's an all round great lightweight shoe suitable for all kinds of training and long races. I can see myself getting a few more pairs in the future, but I can also see myself having the Lunarracers for short races and speed sessions.

Brooks Adrenaline GT3 (?) were the marathon runners and are still in rotation
Mizuno Elixirs for the faster runs
When my wallet recovers in January I'll pick up another pair of runners, maybe Mizuno Wave Inspire, but until then I've an old pair of Asics still being used for recovery runs.
Oh, and Saucony Kilkenny spikes.

Two pairs of Mizuno Wave Inspire 7 for everything.
Pair of iNOV-8 Road-X 255 for faster sessions & races.
Pair of Saucony Peregrine for getting dirty with in the woods
Pair of Saucony Hattori for fun and everyday wear. Slowy building runs.

Now: Mizuno Wave Inspire 7 - was recommended these for slight over pronation, up to 10k distances, now I'm looking to run further I'd better get my gait looked at again.

Next: depends on gait analysis, not much choice when you have size 13 feet though .

Don't worry there's plenty of choice up to size 15! UK16 is a little bit tricky though.
