I'll look into trying out different insoles. It's strange because I have heel slip in most of the running shoes I've tried on. The only ones I haven't experienced this with is the Asics Gel Nimbus Lite 3 and the Saucony Ride 16, but both were too narrow and the outside fabric of both shoes has completely come apart.

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.

I have SB2 and SB3, and I'm a heavy runner \~195 lbs I'm on my second pair of SB2 with 300 km and the first one lasted 1000 km, still have it and it still feels good I retired them because of the milestone and because of the color way... I only have logged about 100 km in the SB3 and they look and feel as good as new. Sole looks good even considering that I run in a very abrasive road. My previous experience with super soft shoe was Mizuno Neo Vista, Amazing feeling but durability was very poor. Foam deformed and sole had serious flaws after less than 400 kms. Asics shoes are expensive but I've been loyal since they have a very good durability for my weight. I've own Novablast 4, kayano and Nimbus. All good.

I’m 80kg and a decent runner. Love soft shoes, asics nimbus are the best I’ve tried for training in

I'm a Glideride Max convert after several years of Nimbus ownership. Once I started seriously training for races, I found the GRM better suited for that. Haven't really rotated my Nimbuses back in since then.
