fromadistance, my favorite running shoes were New Balance. I went to a shoe store that caters to runners and he analyzed my stride. I over pronate so I bought some New Balance runners that had a stability bar type thing in the front. It helped a lot and I hurt a lot less on longer runs. I really need a new pair but don't have the $150 at this point. Maybe I'll get a pair for my birthday.
But New Balance gets my vote
