GT-2000 11

Agree with go to a running store to try on a bunch of different ones and get an opinion from a seasoned runner. Try to find several that work well for you, or at least know the "stats" you like, so you know what to look for. Like, for your wide feet, are you better suited to sizing up 0.5-1 size, or do you need just a Wide model, or a specific model for Extra Wide? Try on everything in store. I typically buy mine on Amazon, AFTER the brand has released their next version. The prior one gets discounted heavily and sometimes the prior-prior one too. I'm wearing the Asics GT-2000 11's and managed to grab three pairs for $60 ea last year. Typically, brands release new ones in the spring and fall. For deals, I like using [this site](https://www.runningshoedeals.com/) a redditor made, but definitely peep the return policy on different sites, look at reviews, and try them on if you can. [This guy](https://www.solereview.com/) is also considered a good unbiased reviewer, as of r/RunningShoeGeeks Edit: You won't really BIFL with running shoes. How you wear them is pretty determined by your weight and gait. Some people will get 1000 miles out of a pair, but most get like. 500, tops.

I tried Saucony Tempus 1 but immediately got blisters under my arch due to the high and dense arch support. Just for OP to know, in case he also has issues there. Had the same problems with Nike Structure 25 and earlier models of the GT2000 (years ago! In an Asics store they told me, that they don't use those kind of arch support anymore und the current Kayano feel fine for me)

I have asics gts with flat feet and I do like them but also I wear custom orthotics so I’m not sure how great the asics do on their own 🤷‍♀️

It’s too individual to really say. I have collapsed arches and I’m prone to posterior tibial tendinitis so I’d say brooks adrenalines and lately the asics gt 2000s but if you don’t have collapsed arches then that’s a pretty useless recommendation 🤷‍♀️

Additional 10% off if you're a new customer as well! GT-2000s are my go-to as well. Can't seem to justify more expensive shoes when these work so well

I pronate and have had to deal with interior tibial tendinitis - shoe wise, I have used Brooks glycerine gts, Saucony Tempus and ASICS GT-2000s all with good success. I usually supplement with Spenco Total Support high arch insoles. I run everything 5k through marathon (Marathon #3 is in 2 weeks.)
