I used to rotate and try many types of shoes until I discovered NB 1260s. I have a wide foot, slight pronate, and low arches. I have run marathons, but currently doing about 20-25 miles/week and interested in increasing weekly mileage and working in a new shoe. I have not run in a different shoe (except the different nb 1260 versions) in years. Any advise on a good shoe or shoes that I can work in my training would be great. I run mostly on roads (very occasional trails), and have benefited from the support and cushioning if the 1260 as I used to be probe to shin splints.

sorry, correction: my first HM for the year, I used the WC13s during last year’s HMs and FM, and were great.

I like using YakTrax however the main issue for me is that if I come across areas that are cleaned, running with these on my shoes are VERY uncomfy, and will cause pain in my foot. I decided to use them on trails, and it works fine there with no issues. it takes a little to get used to them, but all in all, can’t complain.

I don’t believe in just stopping to use the WC13s and starting to run in the G5s, so I slowly add more miles on the new ones, while reducing the miles on the older ones. The reason I do it is that I am preparing or my first HM and don’t want to risk injuries while I do want to know how the G5s “behave” in longer runs. So far, so good.

My ideal rotation is the one I have now (lucky me!).

2 pairs New Balance Minimus Road 4mm drop – my go to shoe for long runs, races, workouts. One pair is older and one is newish.

New Balance Minumus Road zero mm drop – usually a shoe for easy days, mid-distance runs. Sometimes a LR of 12-15 miles

Saucony Virrata – my winter/bad weather shoe that comfortably fits YakTrax, and sometimes I wear it just because

Hold off on the Kinvara until version 5 unless you have a narrow foot, fit didn’t work for me. I like the Virrata, has great forefoot cushion.

Mix Master is a solid shoe!

Bedrock sandals for:
-distance<= marathon.
-great summer shoe,
-road shoe
-trail shoe for less than ultras

Inov8 Trailroc 235 for:
-ultras
-technical/ fast trail runs
-cold weather. (Tucson cold, no blizzards)

I don't need an "ultraminimal" shoe, even though I love 'em. If the weathers nice, I just go barefoot.

I like them both. I’d really like to the Merrell Mix Master for trails.

1 – Skechers Go Run Ride 1 – tempted to try the 2…
2 – Adidas Tempo with orthotics (not sure I really need them with the front/midfoot strike)
3 – no trail running yet
4 – Have some K-Swiss Blade Foot Run, zero drop, still need to work on them as my calfs “pulled”
5 – Skechers Go Run Ride 1

I gave the Adistar Boost a shot for #1 but they don’t fit me too well and they don’t offer enough pronator support. Maybe the Saucony Virrata would be good for that, or the Kinvara if I want to keep the GRR1’s drop that’s working well for me?
