More What Shoes!?

chrislad · 2016-08-31 15:35:57

I need a new pair. I've used Asics Cumulus for the past couple of goes and I've happy enough with them, but I'm just curious about anything around the same style. I'm neutral and tend to go for cushioned shoes and I land quite heavily.

Some options:

Brooks Ghost, quite similar.

Brooks Glycerin- nicer feel, lovely cushioning, more expensive

Mizuno Wave Rider- slightly less cushioned, wider toe box

Mizuno Ultima- similar cushioning, wider toe box

Saucony Triumph ISO 2- feels softer underfoot, slightly wider toe box, lower heel to toe drop

NB 860- similar cushion, wider toe box

Brooks Launch is a slightly different type of shoe than the Cumulus, less cushioned a more responsive. It's between a racer and a cushioned trainer, a bit like the asics DS trainer.
