Gel-Nimbus Lite

4 pairs. I've heard that running in different shoes can help reduce injury risk, possibly by working different small muscles in each one. Seems to be helping me so far, as I used to be injury prone and I have recently been increasing my weekly mileage and speed work with no problems yet. Most of my shorter easy runs in Altra Rivera 2s, but this pair is pretty beat up and probably on its way out. It's a nice comfy zero drop shoe and I love it so much Longer (> 7 miles) easy runs in Saucony Triumph 19s. Higher drop and high cushion. Speed work in Saucony Kinvara 16s. Mid drop, extremely lightweight, love them! Other daily trainer is the Asics Gel Nimbus Lite. They're great at easy and quick paces. I also have a pair of Saucony Endorphin Pros that I haven't used yet but will hopefully whip out for race day It sounds like a lot but I got all except the Kinvaras used on Poshmark for less than $40 each. In great condition, too.

Already is good, but if you want another option, asics gel nimbus 4e works for me

They nimbus lasts forever. I think I walked like 600+ miles and ran around 200-350 on one pair.

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.

Before I read the whole OP I was going to suggest Nimbus. They are quite durable and nothing beats their comfort (so far). Do you use them for walking as well or are they just for the running? Because if they were your daily shoes, the simple answer would be to have two pairs of them for a day to day rotation. Or something lighter and bouncier like Endorphin Speed when you want to go for more fun and fast run. Then back to Nimbus when you just want the comfort. I have found NB 1080v14 to be quite comfy and maybe even softer than Nimbus. Then there are Cliftons which you mention. And I am waiting to try Vomero Plus, because they are supposed to be more breathable and softer than Vomero 18.

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.

ASICS nimbus are the best I’ve found

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