SUPERBLAST 2
Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I have a GT 2000 -13, Kayano 31, Nimbus 23 and Pegasus 39 (Shield). Nimbus 23 I use for training/outdoor walks as cushioning has reduced GT 2000-13 is my daily trainer + runner Nike takes the same place as GT2000 when I'm alternating. However I couldn't hit the sweet spot with Kayano, It's feel heavy for runs, too cushioned for training. How'd you suggest using the Kayano 31? I was actually planning to simply use Kayano as a sneaker/outdoor shoe. Bought it for 4.9k that's the only thing stopping me for using it as outdoor shoe.
Already is good, but if you want another option, asics gel nimbus 4e works for me
Get nimbus wide, Vomero plus. I have high volume too
ASICS Novablast 5-cushioned daily trainer really good for beginners. ASICS gel nimbus-high stack high cushion really comfortable if you don’t mind slower miles. New Balance 1080-kind of a flagship super cushioned daily trainer super duper comfortable. Nike vomero 18-great cushioned but slightly firmer daily trainer. Last but not least the Puma Magmax-My personal fave. It’s cushioned, but slightly bouncy if you wanna pick up the pace a little bit and the grip is outstanding (ran in the blizzard a few weeks ago and didn’t slip even once). I’ve personally ran in all of those. really good beginner friendly shoes in my opinion. But if you can go to a shoe store and try some shoes on. Or watch some YouTube videos. Ben Parkes, Kofuzi, Yowana, believe in the run, they make pretty good running shoe content and they have some lists for beginners.
After owning older models of Gel Nimbus and the 1080v’s, the Vomero Plus is my answer too. Incredible shoe for me
You can find asics nimbus or gel kayano for 5.5k if may malapit sayo outlet. Or new balance 1080 or more. Pede din puma magmax. Heavy side din ako, while I like to explore Chinese brands, preference ko din ung matry ko.
